A Business Owner’s Perspective on Finding the Right Franchise

Choosing a franchise is more than selecting a successful brand It’s about determining whether business ownership is the right path for you and, if it is, identifying an opportunity that aligns with your goals, experience, financial expectations, lifestyle, and vision for the future.

That’s the perspective Mark England brings to Franchise Directions.

Before entering the franchise world, Mark spent more than 20 years in the technology industry as a software engineer and business leader. In 2009, he made the transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship when he purchased AdvantaClean a franchise that he operated for 11 years, before successfully selling it.

That experience became the foundation for the philosophy behind Franchise Directions. Mark knows firsthand what it means to move from employee to business owner—to invest your own money, build a team, make difficult decisions, navigate uncertainty, and ultimately build a business that can operate beyond its founder.

A Different Approach to Franchise Consulting

Mark’s approach is intentionally different from a traditional franchise sales process. Rather than simply matching people with franchise brands, he works with prospective business owners to understand what they truly want from entrepreneurship.

Together, they explore the right questions, evaluate opportunities objectively, and consider whether franchise ownership makes sense for their individual circumstances.

At Franchise Directions, the goal isn’t to convince you to buy a franchise. It’s to help you determine whether business ownership is right for you—and, if it is, find a direction that fits.

Finding the Right Direction Starts with Asking the Right Questions.
