To give you a standard that is nationally recognized, we operate under values that mirror the Better Business Bureau&#8217;s (BBB) Eight Standards for Trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">BBB&#8217;s Eight Standards for Trust and How They Are Applied at The Franchise Maker<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> The BBB Standards for Trust are eight principles that summarize important elements of creating and maintaining trust in all business activities. The BBB Code of Business Practices is built on these standards. We are a proud member of the BBB and we have maintained an <strong>A+ rating<\/strong> since we began operations in 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1) Build Trust<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At The Franchise Maker, we build trust by our quality of work, being punctual, the level of service we provide and the track record of the businesses we have taken to franchise who are now strong franchise systems. We bring integrity and transparency into everything we do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>2) Advertise Honestly<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All of our advertisements are clear and concise. Our clients always know exactly what services they will receive and total costs. There are never any surprises later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>3) Tell the Truth<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are honest with anyone we speak with whether they want to hear it or not. Our philosophy is to always be straight-forward and exceed expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>4) Be Transparent<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our industry is <em>riddled<\/em> with dishonest practices and smoke &amp; mirrors.

Furthermore we invite anyone to come visit us at any time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>5) Honor Promises<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We have clear and concise Engagement Agreements that we exercise with all clients which spell out responsibilities and expectations. We have never had any type of claim or demand against us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>6) Be Responsive<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We strive to make every client a &#8220;raving fan.&#8221; If there is ever a challenge we address it immediately and, if possible, the same business day. Each type of service we perform is governed by a written agreement that clearly defines responsibilities and solutions should there be a disagreement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>7) <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Safeguard Privacy<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We take every precaution to protect all information provided to us in electronic or non-electronic format.

All employees are taught to always do what is right regardless of whether anyone is looking. Our philosophy is to put everyone&#8217;s interest ahead of our own, even if it means sacrificing profits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We hold ourselves to our own high standards of ethics and integrity not only to protect our business but to protect anyone who comes in contact with us.
