When you work with Enterprise Franchising, you work directly with the president of the company — that’s me, Rick Schell. And I want to set the right expectation from the start: this is not a sales process. It’s an educational one.
I’m not here to sell you anything. It does neither of us any good for me to talk you into a franchise that isn’t a good fit for you and your family. If you had to put a label on what I actually do, it’s matchmaking.
It starts with you
We’ll talk about your transferable skills, your goals, your needs, your budget, the kind of business owner you want to be, and the industries you’d genuinely be interested in learning more about. Everything starts from your situation — not from whatever brand happens to be popular this month.
Think of it as learning, not buying
From there, the whole thing is an education. You’ll spend time getting to know the different franchises and business opportunities I introduce you to. Over roughly a 30-to-60-day window, the ones that fit you best tend to rise to the top and become obvious. You don’t have to force the decision — it clarifies itself as you learn.
And if none of the options turn out to be right? No worries at all. With over 600 franchises and business opportunities to draw from, there’s plenty of room to keep looking until something genuinely fits — or to decide the timing isn’t right, which is a perfectly fine answer too.

My goal: make this enjoyable, not tedious
Exploring business ownership should be one of the more exciting things you do, not a chore. I work to keep the process clear and genuinely enjoyable. Enterprise Franchising can and will help you walk the path to becoming a business owner — whether that’s through a franchise or another business opportunity that shares a lot of the same advantages. And if you’re interested in an existing franchise rather than a brand-new one, we work with those across dozens of brands in virtually every state.
Whenever you’re ready, reach out and we’ll set up a time to talk. There’s no cost to you and no pressure — just a conversation about whether this path makes sense for your life.

Frequently asked questions
Who will I actually work with?
You work directly with Rick Schell, the president of Enterprise Franchising — not a rotating sales team.
Is there any cost to work with you?
No. The service is free to you; Enterprise Franchising is compensated by the franchise brand, not by you.
What if I decide franchising isn’t for me?
That’s completely fine. The process is about finding the right fit — and sometimes the honest answer is “not now,” or “a non-franchise opportunity instead.”
