One-time setup. No monthly bloat. You own it.
The Promise: If a franchise truly makes more sense for your situation, we’ll tell you.
The Independent Setup Plan
Before we build anything, we map exactly what you need.
You get a clear roadmap: what to sell, who to sell it to, and exactly what systems you need to launch.

Franchises cost $50k+ upfront. DIY leads to burnout and broken tools.
Get the franchise-grade setup. Keep your equity.
We build the franchise setup — without the franchise.
We don’t overbuild. We don’t sell fluff. We install what matters — and skip what doesn’t.

How it works
Step 1
The Independent Setup Plan
We start with a short, fixed-scope plan to map what your business actually needs — and what it doesn’t.
- Offer Clarity: Exactly what you sell & who buys it.
- Market Check: Real competitor & pricing analysis.
- Math Verification: Break-even point & margin goals.
- Go/No-Go Report: A clear, unbiased recommendation.
Deliverables You Get:
- Business Definition Document
- Offer & Service Structure
- Target Customer Profile
- Real-World Pricing Map
- Competitive Reality Check
- Simple Break-Even Math
- System Build Sequence
- Franchise vs. Independent Scorecard
- Final Recommendation (Go/No-Go)
Outcome: A clear recommendation: build, adjust, or choose a different path.
Get Your Setup PlanStep 2: The Decision
You get a clear recommendation: build, adjust, or choose a different path (including franchise, if it fits better).
Step 3: The Install
If it makes sense to move forward, we install a franchise-style setup tailored to your business.
Step 4: You Own It
No contracts. No royalties. No lock-in. You own everything we build.
Optional: Ongoing Support
Want us to stick around? We have monthly options. Want to run it solo? You can do that too.
We’re not here to push you one way.
If staying independent makes sense, we’ll help you set it up right. If a franchise or different path makes more sense, we’ll say so.
That’s the whole point of doing this correctly.
We are unbiased.
Franchise Free was built by a systems builder who’s designed and rolled out tools and processes across 80+ countries for millions of users.
This isn’t theory. It’s the same decision-first, system-driven approach — applied to people starting businesses.
Common questions
Do I need a business name or logo before we start?
Nope. We can help you decide those during the Setup Plan, and your brand kit is included in the Build.
What if I’m not open yet or still at my day job?
This is the perfect time. We build the systems so you can launch confidently when you're ready.
How much time do I need to set aside?
About 1–2 hours a week for feedback and approvals. We do the heavy lifting.
What software do you use?
We select standard, affordable tools (like Square, Calendly, Carrd/Webflow, Google Workspace) that you can easily manage and own directly.
Do I have to pay a monthly fee?
No. You can choose a one-time setup and own everything. We offer optional monthly support if you want it, but it's not required.
Who you’re working with
I’m Colton. I’ve spent years building systems for massive companies. Now I build them for independent owners.
My rule is simple: You own everything. No lock-in, no hidden contracts. We build it, hand you the keys, and you run the show.
Start with the same clarity franchises get — without the cost.

Built for independent business pros.
If you take bookings, go to people’s homes, or run a one-to-few service, this was built with you in mind.
Trades & home services
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lawn care, handyman work — if you’re fixing or installing things, you need to be bookable and findable locally.
Cleaning & mobile services
House cleaning, short-term rental turnovers, mobile car detailing, junk removal — anything that lives on “slots” and predictable routes.
Beauty, wellness & personal services
Estheticians, barbers, massage therapists, mobile beauty, home-based studios — appointment-driven work that needs simple booking and reminders.
Coaching, consulting & specialty pros
Niche service providers, consultants, and coaches who need a clear offer, simple calendar, and a way to get paid without tech drama.
Not a franchise. Not a funnel course.
Franchise Free is for people who actually do the work — in homes, shops, suites, or online — and want clean systems, not corporate rules or guru playbooks.
If you need a way to get found, get booked, and get paid without giving up a cut of every job, that’s who we built this for.
Don’t see your exact niche here? If people book your time or services, we can probably make you bookable.
Why this works — backed by real data
Systems beat willpower. Franchises know this. Now you can use the same leverage.
Clear offers convert better than DIY guessing
Businesses with clearly defined service menus and upfront pricing see up to 30% higher conversion rates than those requiring a "contact for quote" on everything.
Automated follow-up wins jobs
78% of customers buy from the first responder. We install simple automation that replies instantly so you stop losing leads to slower competitors.
