Stephen Hogan - Franchise Consultant

“Stephen worked with me in my search for a new business franchise. Stephen's advice helped me learn about franchise opportunities and helped me find options I might not have considered. Although I decided to delay my purchase of a franchise while obtaining additional funds, I will use him when I am ready. I recommend him because he has the heart of a teacher. He wants clients to become educated before making a decision. He potentially helped me avoid a financial disaster even though I had sufficient cash on hand to buy a franchise.” July 1, 2009

“Stephen is a real pro at every aspect of franchising - from sales to training to operations. His background as a former franchisee also gives him unique insights into the minds and hearts of both franchisors and prospective franchisees. He really understands the inner workings of the industry.” April 29, 2006

“I was introduced to Stephen when my company joined the Consultant Network that he belongs to. Stephen proceeded to dedicate himself to truly understanding our business and as result, now presents our business offering in the most credible and professional way imaginable. He engenders tremendous trust and has quiet confidence about him that is refreshing, and he is a wonderful example of a person who understands implicitly that, you have to “have it, to give it”. He truly is a pleasure to work with and he attracts and develops relationships with outstanding clients.” December 19, 2008

I have more than 25 years of experience as an owner, operator and investor in both independent and franchised businesses. I’ve been involved in every aspect of franchising. As Director of Education for Packaging Store, Inc., I developed a curriculum that was used to train more than 1,000 personnel in 400 franchises worldwide. Later, I served as Director of Franchise Support, managing programs that helped new and existing franchisees become successful owners. As a Senior Franchise Consultant since 2003, I fancy myself as “Matchmaker of Franchising” pairing great people, with the perfect franchise. My motto is, “Knowledge dispels fear.”
