Finding the Ideal Business
Susan Fraize became an elementary school principal at the age of 26. Highly educated, and with a fantastic career, Susan looked at her life when she was 36 years old and realized she did not want to be a school principal forever.
With added responsibilities at work, Susan decided it was time for a career change, left education, and purchased her a franchise. Susan bought and owned a franchise which she later found out was not right for her. She sold that business and continued to search for a different business to own.

"I was raised on a farm, along with two sisters. We were expected to do, in my words, the same 'farm' tasks as if we were guys. I am much the independent, non-conformist. Thus, business ownership was a natural decision for me."
Susan owned her own franchise and realized it was not her best fit. She began searching again and discovered The Business Alliance, a franchise consulting company. Susan realized The Business Alliance was ideal for her because it offered her:

• A flexible schedule
• Allowed her to modify the business plan to meet her style and needs
• A home-based business with low overhead
• An opportunity to grow to her fullest potential

"After the first business ownership experience didn't go as well as expected, I had to try to convince my husband who is a financial analyst and is a CPA and MBA, that this business would be different. He agreed to me entering into a relationship with The Business Alliance and we've had no regrets ever since! I've been with The Business Alliance for over 3 years."

The Business Alliance allowed Susan to have flexible hours. When she first purchased her Business Alliance, Susan was the executive director of a national foundation. Then, her father passed away and Susan and her family were left with the responsibility of managing 4,000 acres of farmland. As a Business Alliance consultant, Susan was able to have a flexible schedule and juggle her many responsibilities. Susan has since left her position as an executive director and focuses on her Business Alliance consulting business full-time.

The Right Business.
Experiencing what it's like to own a business that's not right for her, Susan is thrilled to own a business that fits her lifestyle and personality. At the same time, she gets to match people with businesses that meet their needs and goals. "I believe this is the best business in the world for women!"

She continued, "I truly enjoy owning my business. I do not work nights or weekends, I have low overhead, and I work from home. I do not do any advertising and buy my leads at a low cost directly from The Business Alliance."
With The Business Alliance, consultants represent franchises through matching prospective business owners with a franchise that meets their needs.

A Turnkey, Easy-to-Follow Business System
Like a good franchisor, that offers support, tools, training, and solutions to help franchisees grow and manage their business effectively, The Business Alliance’s home office offers consultants a private website with all the forms and information they need, multiple conference calls each week, where consultants can learn more about the franchise concepts in their portfolio, plus the home office of the Business Alliance does all the negotiating with franchisors, so consultants can focus on matching prospective franchisees with the right business to meet their needs. No previous business ownership experience is necessary to join The Business Alliance.

Susan commented, "The training program is very well done. In fact, I learned so much that I was able to go back to my hotel room during training and make my first call to a prospect! When you buy into this system, you are buying into the founder's 30 years of experience. It would take me years to learn everything the company has taught me. The office staff is also awesome. They are always available to answer any questions I might have."

She concluded, "I would highly recommend this business to anyone that is a good listener. You must be persistent and be able to follow up with prospects. If you are service oriented, well versed in time management and are a goal setter, The Business Alliance is an incredible business opportunity."
