Honest
No bait-and-switch pricing or hidden add-ons. If something costs more, you’ll know before you say yes.
Why this exists at all
We believe independence should actually mean independence.
Franchises sell the dream and keep the profits. DIY tools hand you a dashboard and wish you luck. Franchise Free is the middle path: you own everything, and we help you build it.
Built for U.S. independent businesses who want real systems, not franchise rules.
The Problem We Kept Seeing
People talk about starting a business all the time. But most never do — not because they’re lazy, but because they’re stuck second-guessing. What tools do I need? What do I do first? Am I doing it wrong? Uncertainty kills momentum.
Why I Built Franchise Free
I don’t come from the “guru” world. I build systems. My work has been turning messy, unclear processes into repeatable workflows that scale — including recent projects rolling out tools and processes across 89 countries for millions of users.
Franchise Free is that same approach applied to entrepreneurship. When you give people structure, the fear drops and the next step becomes obvious. You move faster because you’re not guessing.
What This Means for You
Franchise Free gives you the foundation a real business needs — website, booking or lead capture, payments, CRM, branding, and a simple launch plan — without franchise fees, contracts, or corporate nonsense. You keep ownership. You keep profits. You get clarity and momentum.
What makes us different
We’re not a franchise, not just a web shop, and not a software platform. We’re a launch partner for independent businesses.
Not a franchise
You keep 100% of your revenue and own your brand. We don’t take royalties, percentages, or control of your accounts.
More than a website
We don’t just hand you a homepage. We launch the full system: website, booking, payments, CRM, and a practical launch plan.
Not a software platform
We help you pick tools that fit your business and that you can leave later if you ever want to. No lock-ins, no mystery fees.
Owner-operated, not a support queue
You work directly with the owner, not a rotating cast of account reps. You get clear answers and a real partner.
What we stand for.
No corporate jargon. No mystery fees. No pretending software alone will save you.
Independent
Everything we build lives in accounts you own. We don’t hold your systems hostage.
Practical
Tools and workflows that fit real life — jobs, cancellations, reschedules — not just what looks good in a demo.
Supportive
You don’t have to be “good with tech” to work with us. We’ll walk through everything at your speed and level.
