Our team of experts will PAY YOU $5,000 to find the best vetted franchise that aligns with YOUR goals.
Here’s the brutal truth: Those lists are PAY-TO-PLAY. They’re designed to promote brands that shell out the most cash—not the ones built for YOUR success.
We’ve known this for years. That’s why we built FranCheck™—the ONLY franchise vetting formula that cuts through the noise and shows you brands actually worth your time and money.
What do you get with a FranCheckTM approved franchise?
Building Potential: Invest in a franchise with strong financials, high margins, and a scalable model—so you can build real wealth, not just buy yourself a job.
Happy, profitable owners mean a stronger system and better long-term success for you. If franchisees aren’t winning, it doesn’t make the cut.
We only approve brands with leadership that knows how to scale and support franchisees ensuring you are set up for success from day one.
No fads. No hype. Just franchises in industries with real demand and long-term upside—so you thrive now and in the future
Some of these brands have surprisingly high failure rates. Some of these are generating generational wealth for franchise owners.
We help people know the difference.
Franchising isn’t just about owning a business—it’s about securing your future. Whether you’re looking to build long-term wealth, gain more control over your time, or finally break free from the corporate grind, a (good) franchise gives you a proven path to success.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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. He was always personable, responsive, and direct in his communication and I always felt like I was dealt with truthfully. Thanks Brian!
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!
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.
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.
What does it cost to work with a franchise advisor at Better Days?
It’s completely free for you! To be transparent, our Advisors are compensated by the franchise you choose to move forward with—if you decide to move forward. That’s why we standardize all referral fees to keep things fair and unbiased, ensuring our recommendations are based on what’s best for you, not on higher payouts from certain brands. Our only priority is finding the perfect match for your goals.
Why should I work with a Franchise Advisor?
If you are serious about franchise investigation, working with advisors like Better Days means tapping into over 100 years of experience and a proprietary vetting system, FranCheck™, that ensures you’re only presented with franchises with real potential.
From guiding you through the entire process to providing insider knowledge you won’t find online, we help you avoid costly mistakes and find the right franchise that aligns with your vision and financial ambitions.
What are the pros and cons of franchising?
Investing in a franchise can be a powerful path to wealth and business ownership, but it’s not without its pitfalls.
It offers a proven system, built-in brand recognition, faster revenue potential, ongoing support, and scalable growth opportunities. However, it's not for everyone—high upfront costs, ongoing royalties, limited creative control, and the risk of choosing a bad brand are real concerns. The key is due diligence, understanding your own goals, and finding the right fit.
Am I a good franchise candidate?
If you’re wondering if you’re a good fit for franchise ownership, you’re already ahead of most people. Franchising offers a powerful path to wealth and independence, but it’s not for everyone.
Successful franchise owners are coachable, relationship-focused, sales-minded, financially prepared, and resilient problem-solvers. They’re willing to follow proven systems, work hard, and build relationships within their communities.
How do I get funding?
There are more ways to fund a franchise than you might think, including SBA loans, Rollover for Business Startups (ROBS), traditional bank loans, and more. Each option has its pros and cons, so the right choice depends on your assets, credit profile, investment amount, and risk tolerance.
With over 100 years of collective experience, we’ve built relationships with top franchise funding institutions, offering you access to better terms, faster approvals, and customized programs designed specifically for franchise buyers.
What are your top franchise recommendations for 2025?
The most profitable franchises in 2025 aren’t the biggest names—they’re the ones that align with your skills, meet consumer demand, and offer scalable models. From high-margin food brands to booming home services and wellness franchises, the winners are built for profitability, not hype. To find the best fit for your goals, take our Franchise Fit Quiz.
