“An astute professional with an empathetic character and unwavering integrity. This is how I describe Dave. I have had the pleasure of knowing Dave for 15 years both professionally and personally. Most recently, Dave has helped me in the purchasing and launching of my new company. Dave's experience and guidance is has given me the courage to become an entrepreneur myself. I am continually impressed by Dave's ability to share his experiences and to help others. Few people take this ability to the level he has. As a professional, a person, a friend, and as a confidant, Dave earns my highest recommendation.”

“When my wife wanted to move closer to her family in Pittsburgh, I wasn't sure what I would do professionally in a new city. I had a corporate background but at the time was running a small business 370 miles away. I knew I wanted to go into business for myself and didn't know where to start. A family contact introduced me to Dave and we spoke on the phone discussing franchise opportunities while I was still in New York. What began as conversational exploratory calls evolved into me starting a franchise business! Dave matched my skills with my needs in a franchise concept, with each call being more productive in moving me toward the goal in franchise ownership. Dave was incredible in guiding me through the process and introduced me to resources and contacts that were vital in finalizing a deal with a franchisor. I certainly would not be where I am today without his help and I continue to consider him a friend and trusted advisor.”

“Dave and I met when I was considering an Allegra Franchise. While I did not pursue that particularly opportunity, he stayed in contact and ultimately introduced me to a resale acquisition of a PrideStaff location. Dave was patient during the entire process and professional. An expert in franchising, he knows when to challenge, and when to simply listen. Buying a franchise is a big decision for the candidates and one that will test you. Dave's advice was very helpful and I highly recommend working with him.”

“Working with Dave recently was an absolute pleasure. Dave took the time to meet/speak with me on a number of occasions to really discover who I was professionally and what business would match my skills/experience best. He was instrumental in helping me find my next business venture and I am extremely excited for what the future holds. I highly recommend seeking Dave’s advice to anyone that is pondering franchise ownership. Thanks again Dave!”

“I very much enjoyed David's analytical & straight-forward approach, from identifying a good franchise "match" for my skill set and investment goals to his regular follow ups with me during the due diligence process. He is never shy to voice his professional opinion on all things business which makes him a great sounding board before and after signing on the dotted line. I highly recommend his services!”

“I was researching businesses online and Dave reached out to me. I'm not sure how he found me but he was kindly persistent and it is because of him that I completely changed my attitude about Franchises as an option. He talked me through his experience as a franchise owner (multiple times), sent me a book about franchising and continued to reach out to me week after week for months until we got to the point that he felt I was ready to look at franchise concepts he recommended. Because of Dave I am considering a franchise purchase today. I have greatly enjoyed the experience working with Dave Jones and highly recommend him if you are considering a franchise purchase.”
Michael Slack
“Dave has been absolutely amazing to work with. Dave acts like your personal mentor or coach as you walk thru the Franchise ownership process. Dave has tremendous knowledge in the franchise world as well as general business. Dave is always there to take your questions and be a sounding board as you walk thru the process. Dave is also very well connected and can get you in front of other professionals to answer your questions and concerns so you can learn from others that have done it first-hand. It is very apparent that your best interests are all that Dave cares about. I loved working with Dave and would highly recommend his services.”

“Much of the work of going into a Franchise business is on the person that wants to do it, but Dave was a true coach and professional throughout the entirety of the process. The options he presented were direct, targeted, and very intentional based on the feedback that I gave him. His intentions were completely representative of making me successful in my decision process and he wasn't biased to any part of the process. He remained my go to for any questions and was little to no pressure to me in any decision making processes. That close neighbor that you trust with your "what if" situations? That's Dave, always there and always willing to make time for you to make sure all your questions are answered, you are going into an investment that fits your priority and goals, and making a lifetime decision with the most accurate information possible.”

“I recently had the pleasure of making Dave's acquaintance and began working with him regarding the potential of acquiring another franchise after closing my franchise business in 2019. Dave is the consummate professional and was very helpful in steering a few quality franchises my way. I was fortunate to attend his FCC franchise symposium in Atlanta in March 2020 and the quality of the content during that meeting was excellent. He covered all the bases necessary to pursue another franchise. As a fellow franchisee as well as a consultant, Dave is well positioned to assist anyone who might consider a franchise as a career change. I highly recommend him and his services.”
