FranChoice Founder to Lead IFA Discussion Forum

FranChoice, a new Internet-based Franchise referral network that offers free services to qualified would-be entrepreneurs searching for franchise business opportunities, recently announced their sponsorship of the International franchise Association's "Discussion Forum." Viewed as a valuable idea exchange, problem solver and ultimate networking tool, the Discussion Forum is an ongoing exchange of questions, answers, and ideas for new and existing franchisees. Facilitated through a daily email digest, the Discussion Forum will be complete with new postings from the previous day.

"We are fortunate to have long time franchise industry veteran Jeff Elgin as our discussion leader," said Don DeBolt, president of the IFA. As the former vice president of franchise development for Great Clips, Inc. and now the president and founder of FranChoice, he brings over 20 years of seasoned franchise expertise.

Judging by his lengthy list of accomplishments and industry experience, this franchise industry pioneer has earned his rank in this elite group. Nationally recognized for creating and implementing systems to recruit new franchisees to franchise companies, while at Great Clips Elgin expanded their franchise base at an astounding annual rate of 30 percent.

Elgin, who has done extensive speaking to franchise industry groups and conventions will monitor the discussion daily and draw from his vast experience to answer questions, provide feedback, educate participants and suggest possible solutions. The Discussion Forum will address topics such as franchise investigation steps, site selection and long-term growth.

The FranChoice service is completely free to the consumer. There is no obligation for either party yet, in the end, clients know they have chosen a franchise that fits their lifestyle and financial requirements -- and franchisors are expanding their system with top-notch individuals.
