Are you dreaming of business ownership but feeling overwhelmed by the options? The world of franchising offers a pathway to achieving financial freedom, personal fulfillment and a thriving career, but finding the right fit can be challenging. That’s where franchise consulting comes in — a clear and rewarding approach to identifying the perfect franchise opportunity for you.

At Integrity Franchise Group, we specialize in helping aspiring entrepreneurs like you explore franchise opportunities that align with your goals, lifestyle and long-term vision. Guided by Lisa Welko, an industry veteran with over 20 years of experience, we take the complexity out of the franchise discovery process and make it simple, clear, and effective.

From McLisa to Multi-Unit Franchisee

Lisa began her franchising journey as a teenager at McDonald's (where she was affectionately nicknamed "McLisa" by her coworkers). Since then, she has built and sold a boutique fitness franchise, consulted hundreds of aspiring business owners and recently became a multi-unit franchisee with her husband. Her family plays an active role at Integrity Franchise Group, bringing a unique combination of expertise, passion and personal experience to the table.

As a consultant, Lisa's hands-on experience — from managing employees to navigating funding and operations — ensures that you get well-rounded, practical advice. She has truly been in every seat, and her expertise shines through in every step of the process.

What Does a Franchise Consultant Do?

Think of a franchise consultant like a real estate agent, but instead of finding homes, they help you find businesses. Just as a realtor learns your preferences for location, school districts, or backyard spaces, a franchise consultant takes the time to understand your business goals, lifestyle aspirations, and financial readiness.

Here’s how the process typically works:

  1. Identify Your Goals: Whether it’s financial freedom, more family time or building a legacy, Lisa helps you clarify what you want from business ownership.
  2. Explore Industries: From fitness and food to crime scene cleanup (yes, really!), franchising spans over 60 industries. Integrity Franchise Group narrows down your options to fit your passions and lifestyle.
  3. Facilitate Introductions: Once you have your shortlist, Lisa connects you with franchisors, helps you ask the right questions and evaluates each opportunity thoroughly.
  4. Assist with Financing: From budgeting to funding solutions, Integrity Franchise Group ensures you’re financially ready to set your franchise up for success.

The best part? In franchising, you’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself. Franchise systems offer built-in support so you can lean on fellow franchisees for advice, guidance and shared success stories.

With 25+ years of business ownership experience and over 20 years of franchise experience (including being a multi-unit owner myself) plus hundreds of happy clients, I help talented professionals find the right franchise opportunity for their passion and lifestyle. HOW I DO IT: I have access to several hundred business opportunities - and much of my time is weeding out the good from the bad before they EVER get to my clients. My system will jumpstart your success in finding the right business fit. I WILL save you time, money, and potentially from making a devastating mistake. I get to know the people I work with, not only to assist in finding them a brand but first to determine whether business ownership makes sense. By understanding a person’s background, skill set, and history we get a good understanding of which business models fit the client. WHOM I CAN HELP: I’ve worked with corporate executives and budding entrepreneurs from all walks of life who were looking for the opportunity to create a business that would yield residual incomes and an asset they could sell.
