Franchise Your Business
BE THE NEXT BIG THING
with Franchise FastLane

FastLane brands average three times more franchise sales in the first year compared to industry norms. You can see this momentum across our brand portfolio, where concepts moved from local success to national recognition. 

We are highly selective, working only with brands that have the potential to be The Next Big Thing. This focus enables us to direct our energy towards our chosen few, which is why thousands of territories have been awarded through FastLane since its inception in 2017. 

Franchising is more than awarding units. We refine your FDD, strengthen discovery, and coach leadership, which helps you avoid the issues outlined in Franchisor Challenges. Beyond sales, our partners also benefit from our MasterMind program, which brings franchisors together for peer learning, expert coaching, and collaboration. We also provide a Brand Health Assessment, giving franchisors additional insight into their long-term stability and growth. You can learn more about how we foster collaboration and leadership through our MasterMind program.       

No. We turn away many brands to focus on those with the strongest foundations. Businesses not yet ready often enter our CarPool program, which helps them prepare before entering the FastLane. 

Timelines vary, but FastLane brands often scale years faster than industry averages. Many reach milestones within twelve months that would otherwise take a decade, creating future value that has led to acquisitions at record multiples. To date, FastLane has helped place more than 5,000 franchise units into communities nationwide, representing over 1,700 entrepreneurs. You can see the full list of brands we have helped in our brands portfolio. 

Beyond unit sales, we help build long-term equity. FastLane has created hundreds of millions of dollars in future value for franchisors, positioning many of them for significant private equity opportunities. 

Our leadership team has served as founders, franchisees, and executives across top national brands. That decades-deep perspective is one reason Entrepreneur Magazine has recognized FastLane for multiple years in a row. 

Hiring even one salaried development professional can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. With FastLane, you gain a full team that provides sales support, compliance and legal coordination, marketing, operations guidance, tech access, discounted vendor agreements, and added visibility through sponsorships and events. All of this comes without the overhead, and with a success-based fee structure that means we only grow when you grow.      

We adapt quickly. If growth plateaus, our systems re-align marketing and sales, ensuring momentum returns. Many franchisors who faced slow starts found that after partnering with FastLane, their growth trajectory accelerated.

If your concept is proven, profitable, and backed by strong leadership, you may be ready to move forward. A helpful place to start is reviewing Franchisor Challenges, which highlights the hurdles brands must address before entering the FastLane.
