Ken KendesFranNet Franchise Consultant · serving clients nationwide

As a successful self-made entrepreneur, I bring over 40 years of experience in manufacturing, distribution, wholesale, and retail selling to help guide you toward your goals. As a business owner, I gave tens of thousands of people in many countries the opportunity to own their own business, and I have been involved in the sale, purchase, and merger of different companies. A self-described "business guidance counselor," I have guided individuals into the business that was right for them. I'll help you think through what you want a business to do for you, matching your goals, skills, and financial qualifications with carefully screened opportunities. My services with FranNet are free, and profitable franchise ownership may be closer than you think.
