The T.A.P. Method

A Proven Process from Discovery to Ownership and Beyond

At The Acquisition Partners, we take a thorough, client-focused approach to franchise consulting. Our process is designed to ensure that you are matched with a franchise that aligns with your financial goals, lifestyle, and values. Here’s how we work together: 

  1. Discovery
    In this initial phase, we get to know you—your personal goals, financial situation, and aspirations. We’ll explore your interests, lifestyle preferences, and the type of business you’re looking to own. It starts with a conversation and the completion of a questionnaire. It helps to thoroughly understand your background, goals, experience, and desired level of financial investment so we can appreciate your vision for franchise ownership and establish the foundation for the next steps.

  2. Consultation
    Once we have a clear understanding of your needs and preferences, we begin the consultation process. We learn the characteristics that are important to you, from location and hours to roles and employees. We help you answer the questions that matter to you. Are you going to manage the business or just own it? Will you have partners? When do you want to open? How much are you willing to invest? We’ll provide expert advice, educate you on the franchise industry, and discuss potential opportunities. This is where we start refining the options that align with your goals and discuss what the franchise journey entails. This becomes your Personalized Model, which cuts through the clutter, refines your ownership search, and crystallizes your path to franchise ownership. 

  3. Franchise Selection & Analysis
    After consultation, we carefully analyze available franchise opportunities that match your criteria. We will teach you how to consider financial and industry information. We provide detailed insights, helping you understand the financials, operational models, marketing capabilities, training support and potential growth of each brand.

  4. In-Depth Due Diligence
    We guide you through the due diligence process, ensuring that you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision. We support you with financial projections, market analysis, and legal considerations. During this phase, you will get to interview current franchisees on their experience, the support they receive, their investment and earnings.

  5. Franchise Acquisition
    With our expert guidance, you’ll confidently take the steps to identify your chosen franchise. From franchise agreements to funding to grand opening, we’ll be there every step of the way.

  6. Ongoing Support & Mentorship
    Our partnership doesn’t end once you’ve acquired your franchise. We offer continuous mentorship, operational support, and strategic advice to help you succeed and grow your business long after the acquisition.
