Franchise Influencers: Tom DuFore, CEO, Big Sky Franchise Team

Hi, I’m Tom, and I love helping business owners expand their companies nationally and internationally. I found my clients were fed-up with the complexity around franchising their business, so I created the Franchise Blueprint so clients could have a proven system to franchise their business and create their legacy. It’s never been easier to franchise a business. In fact, some clients have yet to see how simple it is to franchise, but it’s not their fault. Given the misinformation out there from people that have never been in the trenches, it’s a wonder that there isn’t more confusion. First, they need to clear some smoke. Many businesses are close to being ready to franchise. Yet, they are missing a few small components. Maybe it’s a marketing system, an operations manual or clear cash-flow statements. It’s usually a simple fix. What I started doing for business owners who were serious about franchising is help them with a new program called the ‘Franchise Blueprint.’ The Franchise Blueprint process helps businesses who are six to 12 months away from franchising get rock solid plans so the franchise process goes smoothly. They are able to avoid many of the embarrassing mistakes from companies that hope to franchise. The Franchise Blueprint is an in-depth analysis of a business that takes hundreds of hours of research to complete, which they will do for a fraction of the cost that you would get done anywhere else. You get 100% clarity on what you need to do to franchise a business. And, if you decide to franchise with us, you get the Franchise Blueprint included with our franchise program.

About Big Sky Franchise Team: It's hard to operate a business and grow it at the same time. That's why franchising makes sense. Unfortunately, the process is complicated, and most business owners have limited time and resources. They don’t know how to organize, document and market their business as a franchise so someone would want to buy in. The good news is the Big Sky Franchise Team is on their side. Their team has helped more than 600 owners and business leaders expand through franchising. They always have a win-win mentality, working hard to make sure franchising a business is a win for the franchisee, a win for Franchise Blueprint and a win for franchisors. Their proven process of helping clients win resulted in recognition as the Best Franchise Consultancy and Top Franchise Supplier, in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
