SUCCESS STORIES FROM OUR CLIENTS

Kristi Bennett

My husband and I had a great experience working with Rob Taylor while we were exploring the option of opening a franchise with Hounds Town. Rob was very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable during our process. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner and jumped on numerous calls with us to check in throughout the process.

Diana Geudtner

Working with Rob Taylor was a great experience. He was professional and knowledgeable. He treated us with patience and integrity. If we needed information he got it for us. Our journey would have been much more cumbersome without Rob's help.

Keith Warren

Brian has been fantastic to work with and an invaluable resource/wealth of knowledge not only for the brand, but also providing mentorship about franchising and small business ownership in general. Always straightforward and honest information, even on topics where the answer wasn't necessarily what I had hoped to hear.

W Palacios

This was one of the best experience doing business in my life. I never felt any kind of pressure to close the business. All questions were answered on time, required information provided, etc. to the point that a trustworthy business relationship was established. Thanks for the guidance and support. Great experience! I strongly recommended.

Lourdes Vandvelt

We had an excellent experience working with Rob Taylor. He was so easy to work with, knowledgeable, transparent, and dependable.

Our experience was wonderful. We received detailed explanation of the process, unprompted reminder of where we are in it, next steps and timelines provided at every turn. The oversight and engagement was incredibly supportive and the communications are/were phenomenal. Thank you Kyle!

David Muir

Working with Brian was an absolute pleasure. He is polite, engaging and thorough. After our first conversation, he continued to keep me informed and up to date as the process moved along, consistently setting expectations about the process. If you are considering working with Brian, he is the real deal and you are in good hands.

Chip Dunn

It has been a pleasure working with Brian and I appreciate his honesty and clarity throughout the discovery process which led to my decision to enter into a franchise agreement with Footprints Floors.

What a wonderful journey to becoming a Franchisee. The support I have received from the team has been phenomenal. Thank you Rob for your time, your patience and most importantly your kindness.

It was wonderful working with Rob. He was down to earth and very easy to talk with. I could always rely on him to have the answer to any questions I had or promptly provide me with the correct information. Rob was not only informative and thorough but made everything simple to understand. Rob was never pushy and I never felt like I was getting a sales pitch. I could not have asked for a better person to guide me through the process of making such a life changing decision!

Andy Chromy

Rob was incredibly easy to work with, answered my questions which came at multiple times throughout this process, and took phone calls as much as was needed. He was very thorough about the expectations associated with purchasing a franchise and did not hold back when discussing that it takes work and effort to make sure it works. He was great to work with.

Thomas DiPaolo

Great experience. Brian was both informative and knowledgeable. His professionalism, approachability and level of engagement are second to none. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a franchise opportunity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Does it Cost to Work with a Franchise Advisor?

There’s no additional cost to you. When you buy a franchise, the franchisor charges a franchise fee, which is standard in the industry. A portion of that fee is paid to us by the franchisor for helping match you with their brand.

At Better Days, we ensure every recommendation is based on quality—not commissions—so you can trust the process.

Why work with a Franchise Advisor?

Not all franchises are good investments, and even great ones need to be carefully matched to your skills, culture, and goals to truly succeed. That’s where we come in. A great franchise advisor (like us!) cuts through the noise, vetting the brands and guiding you toward the right fit—not just any franchise.

Unlike many franchise consultants who push what pays them most, we prioritize quality and your long-term success. Think of us as your franchising compass—pointing you toward a smart, successful future.

What makes Better Days, better?

We’re not your average franchise advisors. At Better Days, we’re laser-focused on your success. Unlike others, we don’t push brands just because they pay us the most—we only recommend franchises that are proven, elite, and a perfect match for your skills and goals.

Our vetting process is the strictest in the industry, and we’re here to guide you through every step—from exploring your options to signing the dotted line (or walking away, if it’s not the right fit). Add in expert coaching, unmatched transparency, and a $5,000 investment in your success, and you’ll see why we’re the go-to for smart franchise buyers.

How do you vet brands?

We’ve analyzed over 1,000 franchise brands, and here’s the truth: less than 10% make the cut. Our vetting process is rigorous because we believe your time, money, and trust deserve better.

We dig deep into each brand’s financials, support systems, leadership team, and long-term track record. But it’s not just about numbers—it’s about fit. We evaluate whether a franchise aligns with your skills, goals, and values. If it doesn’t check every box, we don’t recommend it.

At Better Days, you’ll only see franchises we’d confidently invest in ourselves. And considering we are all franchise owners, there’s a good chance we have!

What do I need to have to qualify to work with Better Days?

We don’t work with just anyone—and that’s by design. At Better Days, we’re serious about matching the right people with the right franchises. To qualify, you need the right mix of skills, finances, attitude, and goals to succeed as a franchise owner.

If we don’t think franchising is the right fit for you, we’ll tell you. Unlike others, we won’t push you into a brand just to make a deal. Our reputation depends on matching top-performing franchise owners with elite brands, and we’re protective of it.For those we do work with, it’s because we believe we can help them find a franchise that will truly bring them better days. If that sounds like you, let’s get started.

DO YOU QUALIFY? WE DON'T WORK WITH JUST ANYONE.

At Better Days Franchise Co., our reputation is our cornerstone. We maintain it by partnering only with those poised for success in franchise ownership.
