Charlie Magee: Franchise Consultant in Washington
Charlie Magee Franchise Consultant in Washington helps aspiring entrepreneurs take control of their future through expert franchise guidance. With over 20 years of experience, he offers strategic support to help clients identify, evaluate, and pursue franchise opportunities that align with their goals and lifestyle.
After transitioning from a successful corporate career, Charlie became a franchise owner himself. That firsthand experience allows him to offer not only knowledge but empathy and realism. His clients describe him as clear, candid, and deeply invested in their long-term success. Rather than push a brand, Charlie walks clients through a personalized discovery process and coaches them on what to look for, what to ask, and how to make confident decisions.
What You Can Expect
Charlie doesn’t sell — he mentors. He starts by helping you complete your Entrepreneur Readiness Profile, then narrows your options to a select group of franchise categories that best fit your goals. From there, he facilitates introductions to the franchisors and helps you understand the steps ahead. At each stage, he keeps you grounded and focused on the long-term view.
Throughout the process, Charlie Magee Franchise Consultant in Washington emphasizes education and objectivity. He prepares you to analyze the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), connect with existing franchisees, and attend Discovery Days with confidence. That clarity, structure, and accountability are what clients say makes the biggest difference.
Local Focus. National Perspective.
Charlie is based in Washington and understands the nuances of the Pacific Northwest. However, his reach is national. His clients come from diverse professional backgrounds — from executives and military veterans to teachers, doctors, and small business owners. Regardless of your past, he believes business ownership should be accessible and informed.
Beyond consulting, Charlie gives back by volunteering with Junior Achievement and coaching with the MPHS golf team. He believes success isn’t just financial — it’s about freedom, confidence, and contribution.

FAQs
What is a FranNet Franchise Consultant?
A FranNet franchise consultant is a local, franchise expert to advise you on franchise and business opportunities. Within our group, we have past and present franchisors, franchise executives, franchisees, regional and area developers, and other business professionals.
How Do We Help?
We help you by providing assorted research and information that will help you investigate different franchises to start your own business. We can introduce you to many different franchisors, so rather than having to go from place to place to learn about specific businesses, you can learn the basics about several options all in one spot! This saves you time and money.
FranNet Consultants help save you time and money in several ways: by educating you about franchising, by helping you research your business, by identifying the right structure and strategic mix of the businesses you are interested in, and by introducing you to the franchisors that fit your model.
We’ll encourage you to thoroughly research any franchise that you are investigating, and we’ll even help you find franchise attorneys and other advisors so you can gain more information before you buy. We believe that the more you know, the better the odds are that the choice you make will be a good one. As a result, we stress that you spend the necessary time to research before you buy. Once you’ve bought the business, it’s too late to change your mind.
How Much Do We Cost?
FranNet Consulting Services are 100% Free For Our Clients. Like a real estate agent, we make our commission only if and when a deal closes and are paid by the seller, not you, the buyer.
How Can We Work Together?
- Take Our Entrepreneur Readiness Profile
- Create your free Readiness Profile to evaluate the best business ownership options for you. First, you will complete a personality analysis and an investment range determination. From there, our algorithm can help determine what franchise options in your local market may be best able to meet your goals.
- We Will Review Your Readiness Profile
- Once you have your Entrepreneur Readiness Profile results, you may request a free, no-obligation review session with your local franchise consultant. During this meeting, you can gain more insight into what franchise opportunities may be best for your goals.
- We’ll Discuss Your Franchise Options
- After the review of your Readiness Profile, we work with you to determine what local franchise options may be worth exploring. Your local consultant will present you with a number of options and depending on which ones you are interested in, your consultant will make an introduction.
- Introduction To Your Ideal Franchise Brands
- We will help facilitate those introductions and coach you on the due diligence process. We will also provide guidance on which questions to ask, the Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs), and the tools you can use to rank the franchise opportunities for yourself.
- Introduction to Existing Franchisees of the Brands You Like
- Once you’ve learned more about each franchise opportunity that you are interested in, you will be able to speak with active franchisees in their respective organizations to validate the business, support, and overall success of each opportunity.
- Attend a Discovery Day
- Before making a formal commitment to a franchise opportunity, you will attend a Discovery Day, usually on-site at the corporate headquarters of the specific franchise you’re interested in (In the wake of COVID-19, many franchisors are offering virtual Discovery Days). This Discovery Day is a great opportunity for you to meet the top management team, see their operational facility, and learn more about the day-to-day life of owning a business under their brand.
- Making a Final Decision with FranNet By Your Side
- Once you return from a Discovery Day, you’ll be in a position to decide if that specific franchise is the right fit for you. If it is, we’ll provide the necessary referrals to franchise attorneys, accountants, and funding partners to help complete your franchise due diligence. From there, it is your choice to sign the final franchise agreement and become a franchisee.
