iFranchise Group
iFranchise Group helps existing business owners — including home-services operators — become franchisors, from feasibility assessment through FDD drafting, operations manuals, and franchise sales support.
Founded in 1998 by Mark Siebert and headquartered in Munster, IN, iFranchise Group is one of the longest-running franchise development consultancies in the US, with a dedicated home-services franchising practice. Unlike the broker networks above (which match candidates to existing franchises), iFranchise Group works on the other side of the transaction: helping an owner with a proven, single- or multi-location business assess whether it's franchisable, then building the legal, operational, and sales infrastructure to actually sell franchises.
Why we recommend it
27+ years of operating history and an explicit home-services franchising focus, distinct from generalist consultants.
