Apr 03,2024I’ve been working with Chris for a while now, and I have been pleased with not only his service, but his responsiveness to all of my questions and inquiries. We are just going strong at the start of 2024 selling our franchises, and anything I have needed an assistance with he has had somebody on his team reach out to me to handle. I felt comfortable with them through the whole process, including the formation of our FDD and manuals and at no time felt that there wasn’t full disclosure on what was happening. There’s also low pressure, so though they keep you moving…they also ensure you are comfortable with every stage.

Mar 24,2024The on going relationship and support of the entire team at FMS has given me an extreme sense of assurance. Not only are they experts in their lane but they connect you with resources in other areas of business needs to make the processes stress free. After interviewing other firms I can honestly say you won't find a better supportive team than FMS!

Jan 29,2024Anthony reached out to me over a year ago.... We were interested in franchising anyway. Then after a few discussions we said sure..... Then we were introduced to the FMS family. Then we started the FDD Process.....Wow how smart and in tuned this company is for building franchises. We chose to wait until 2024 to start offering franchises and the crew at FMS keep wondering when we will get going as they have interested parties... Every time we communicate with there staff, wow!

Jan 28,2024Chris along with the team at FMS has taken the daunting and intimidating task of franchising and systemized it with a "Step By Step" approach. I was not expecting the level of personal interaction and support from Chris that I have received and I'm confident that we made the right choice going with FMS.

Jan 12,2024Franchising is hard but working with Chris and the team at FMS is not! There are not many people in this space that have as much integrity and compassion for helping new franchisors as Chris does. I recommend anyone looking to start a franchise or have a small existing franchise to work with Chris and his team. We went from 0 locations, no FDD and no clue of where to start to now we have over 20 locations and we’re just named to the Entrepreneur Magazines top 500 franchises list for 2024, #321! Without there help in the beginning this would not be possible! Thanks FMS! Richard Gould Founder Richard’s Painting Franchise

Dec 09,2023FMS had impressed since day 1. We love our guy Alan. He works very hard and has decades of experience, besides the fact that we just really like the guy. Chris runs an excellent company. Everyone I've worked with at FMS has been fantastic. Nathan, Jacklyn, & Ashton have also been very helpful on many occasions. We feel very backed-up with FMS in our corner.

Nov 16,2023I have been a business owner since 2007. I have contracted out a lot of work in that span of time and I have to say, partnering with FMS and the money I have spent building my franchise packet with them has been the best money I have ever spent on a Professional service. Chris and his team are nothing short of amazing. After my initial zoom meeting with my team I did the math and FMS provided me with over 90 combined years of experience in the franchise world. They work fast, communicate well and got me from start to sale-ready in under 4 months. At every step of the process they guided me, taking information from my head and translating it into all of the different legal and operational documents that we needed to get to this point; the launch!! We haven't sold any Franchises yet, but I know we will because of the time and effort that went into it, from so many. I look forward to continuing to work with them and I look forward to seeing them collect their commissions off the sale of my idea. Everyone wins. If you have an idea and you want to franchise, I wouldn't look anywhere else. This is the firm.

Jul 21,2023We hired FMS to help us develop our Franchise System in September of 2021 - Chris and the entire team were amazing and guided, and helped us every step of the way. There is NO WAY we could have launched with out them. The help with the Pro-Formas, The FDD, The Operations Plan, The Marketing and Sales Strategy, and other areas was amazing. We were approved to sell franchises in Washington State in October of 2022 and we have already sold 3 units, with our first one opening for business on November 1, 2023!!! We are so glad we hired FMS to build the Industrious Franchise System!

Jul 20,2023It is not often in business that people are honest, transparent and do what they say they will. Chris and his team have guided us from the very beginning of our franchising journey. They set realistic expectations that were spot on and have been a great sounding board for me along the way. I have run into companies that want to make a quick buck and run away with it. FMS is not that company. They are a true partner in our success. If you are thinking of franchising, I would highly recommend FMS, and I do whenever someone asks me how I franchised our business
