Franchise Marketing Systems (FMS) Reviews 

The team at FMS has been great to work with. They have an experienced and knowledgeable team in their respective fields. They are easy to reach and are very patient in answering any questions I may have during the process.

So you want to Franchise your business? There is no better place to go. I’ve found both Chris Connor and Alan George to be fantastic coaches and confidantes. There are no guarantees in this business, but this outfit will help you put on a uniform, place a bat in your hands and give you the opportunity to take a swing at the big time. Of course you the franchisor will have to work hard and put in the necessary work to hit that home run.

A big thank you to Franchise Marketing Systems (FMS) for their support in my franchise venture with The Natural Place Med Spa Franchise! They've been essential in helping me create an opportunity where others can pursue their passion, benefit from a well-navigated implementation, and have a caring team supporting their journey to make their dreams a reality.

I can't recommend Franchise Marketing Systems enough. They truly go above and beyond in every aspect. The perfect balance of streamlined online forms combined with scheduling calls and Zoom meetings made the process so much easier, ensuring all the information was accurate. I wouldn't hesitate to refer them to anyone looking to franchise their business.

Their professionalism is top-notch, and they are absolutely worth every penny. After working with them, I honestly can't imagine how I would have managed without their support. From helping with numbers, drafting legal documents, trademarks, creating an LLC, to even marketing to potential buyers – they cover it all! It’s truly the complete package. If you're considering franchising, these are the experts you need on your side!

Anthony Feola and Chris Conner have definitely been a breath of fresh air to work and do business with! I couldn’t have asked for a better company to help take my business to the next level in developing a franchise business. I was a nervous wreck in deciding to pull the trigger to invest my hard earned money as a small business owner and in placing my trust in FMS Franchising. Now that I’m here working with FMS. I am so grateful that I decided to move forward with them. It still amazes a little over 3 months later of doing business with this team of experts. I now have a potential franchisee that is eagerly waiting to go through the FMS team to develop a territory so my Franchisee can operate that side of the business. They are well equipped and have a full developed team to get your new franchised business off to a great start. I’m also eagerly anticipating FMS to market my Franchise and I know it will turn out great! I’m now at the tail end of establishing my new Franchised business thanks to FMS! I appreciate the professionalism and the entire FMS team! Great job in your performance thus far and keep up the great work!!!

Franchise Marketing Systems (FMS) has been a true game-changer!

From day one, the FMS team believed in my vision—even before I fully believed in it myself. They walked me step-by-step through the process of transforming my business into a franchise, offering not only expert strategy but genuine encouragement, clarity, and care.

Their team helped me go from an idea to a full franchise system—complete with operations manuals, legal documents, marketing plans, and more. Today, I’m signing my first franchisees and launching a brand that I’m proud of, thanks to their guidance.

If you’re thinking about franchising your business, do not do it alone. FMS is the partner you want in your corner. Their professionalism and belief in their clients are unmatched. I’m forever grateful!

Since day one, the FMS Team has demonstrated exceptional collaboration and support. Their expertise and professionalism in franchise and business management are consistently outstanding. They are always prepared to work alongside you, ensuring a seamless and productive experience. Thank you FMS!!

I can’t say enough good things about Franchise Marketing Systems. Two years ago, I never would have believed it was possible to franchise my Home Care Agency. The goal felt too big and out of reach. But Anthony from their team believed in me before I even believed in myself—he stayed in touch for an entire year, patiently following up with me until I was ready to take the leap. Once I officially signed on, Chris and every member of his amazing Franchise Marketing Systems team has went above and beyond to bring my vision to life!

Their responsiveness, expertise, and efficiency have been remarkable. Whenever I had a question or concern, they were there with quick answers and real solutions. Thanks to their support, that once distant dream is now in the final steps of becoming a reality. I truly couldn’t have done it without them. If you’re thinking about franchising, I wholeheartedly recommend Franchise Marketing Systems to help you make it happen!!

Chris and his team where great, always available to get things done

We used FMS to franchise our brand and couldn't be happier with the experience. FMS helped us take our company to the next level. Thank you.

I started my franchising journey without much knowledge of the process. FMS helped me every step of the way. They’re knowledgeable, responsive, enthusiastic and trustworthy. Excellent people, excellent service. This is the company for you.

Chris and his team are responsive and get the job done. We have worked with them for years and really appreciate the friendly professional service.

Who the heck ever heard of franchising a home-based child care or preschool, that just about any family in the world with a strong work ethic, love for children and passion for the environment can execute, with a minimal investment?!?!?!? Little Tree Huggers Preschool had just won the US Department of Education's Green Ribbon School Award, along with Loudoun County Virginia's first ever Sustainable Business Award, and the team at FMS were right there to say "this is an opportunity" for hundreds if not thousands of families nationwide. Chris, Alan, Laura and the entire FMS Franchise team were there to guide and encourage us, with an expertise second to none. They were not high pressure, nor manipulative and they allowed us to proceed at our own pace. However, when we decided this was an opportunity that needed to be shared more broadly, they were with us every step of the way. They are extremely attentive, highly responsive, and have built a team characterized by extraordinary attention detail; the consummate professionals. Just as a point of reference, we went from signing with them in June 2024, to having our franchise registration approved in Virginia in October 2024 and our first franchise sold by November 2024. And, if that doesn't say it all, they continue being with us every step of the way! We are so thankful for the important service they provide and know we will remain partners for many years to come.

Chris and his team did an excellent job helping one of my clients. Very professional and got things done rapidly.

Great organization to work with, thank you all for using your talents and expertise.
You are all fabulous 👌

Working with Chris has been nothing short of extraordinary. From our very first interaction, his professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication to our project were immediately evident. We had been contemplating franchising for some time. After our initial meeting with Chris, we walked away not only well-informed but also confident that he had our best interests at heart. While we had been approached by other firms, it quickly became clear that Chris offered far more than what was presented by others, leading us to confidently partner with him for our franchising journey.

The process began with an in-depth kickoff meeting. It was clear that Chris had assembled a team that not only matched our level of passion but was fully aligned with our goals for the business. Their commitment to excellence gave us the peace of mind we needed to move forward with confidence.

What sets Chris apart is his ability to go beyond what’s promised on paper. His depth of knowledge, transparency, and consistent availability have provided us with far more than we expected, making the entire process smooth and reassuring. We can’t recommend Chris highly enough to anyone considering franchising or business expansion. The experience has been incredibly positive, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership.
