Richard BockFranNet Franchise Consultant · serving clients nationwide

I first entered the world of franchising in 1997, and along with FranNet, I own two locations of one of the best-known names in supplemental education. Before becoming a franchise owner and consultant, I spent my corporate career with a major car manufacturer, working in customer service, sales, and marketing. I rose through the ranks and finished as the senior executive in charge of Sales and Marketing for European Union countries. In 2012 I opened FranNet of Maryland, and today I'm proud to help others find the same financial and personal rewards I've enjoyed as a franchised business owner. There's no cost for my consultation, so all you invest is a little of your time.
