What it is like to work with us, from the people who did.

“David’s real world experience in owning his own businesses brings a robustness in his feedback and ability to recognize and help keep you on track.”

“I connected with Ann Marie early last year when I was seriously exploring franchising as a career move. From our very first conversation, she stood out. Ann Marie never pushed. She challenged me to slow down and reflect on what I was really looking for. She walked me through the FDD process, encouraged me to talk to franchisees, and presented financing options I hadn’t considered. Every opportunity she brought to me was thoughtful and aligned with my interests and abilities. I never once felt like I was being steered toward a decision for the wrong reasons. That kind of patience is rare in any profession. In franchising, it’s exceptional. In the end, I decided to launch my own AI business instead of pursuing a franchise. Ann Marie handled that with complete professionalism and genuine understanding. No pressure, no disappointment. Just support. If you’re exploring franchising and want someone in your corner who will keep you grounded and focused on the right fit, Ann Marie is exactly who you want.”

“I never felt like I was being “sold”, which is a testament to the collaborative and consultative approach David employs.”

“David guided me through the whole process and didn’t even make any franchise recommendations until he was fully aware of my specific personal objectives.”

“I have just begun working with Ann Marie but she has already demonstrated a level of professionalism, transparency, and knowledge that has been truly impressive. I am looking forward to working more with Ann Marie as I prepare for the sale of my business.”

“It’s rare to come across someone as intentional and impactful as David when it comes to franchise consulting.”

“I thought he did a great job of working with me – first to understand my situation and objectives, then to find franchise opportunities that fit my needs.”

“David’s expertise and dedication have not only expanded my perspective on entrepreneurship but have also equipped me with valuable insights.”

“I am delighted to recommend Ann Marie Weaver in her outstanding role guiding me through the selection and acquisition of a franchise. Based on both her professional expertise and personal experience, she proved herself to be an invaluable partner throughout the entire process. From our earliest conversations, Ann Marie’s approach was deeply consultative and personalized. She invested time to understand my background, goals, risk tolerance, and desired lifestyle alignment. Drawing from a decade-plus track record as both a corporate executive and a multi-unit franchise owner, she was able to guide me toward opportunities that truly fit my strengths and ambitions. Ann Marie explained complex concepts with clarity, distinguishing between low-complexity, proven models and more innovative, nuanced options, helping me evaluate what was the best match for me. She also helped me address internal hesitations, transforming anxiety into practical action by guiding me through speaking with existing franchisees, assessing financial parameters, and crafting a path forward with confidence. What sets Ann Marie apart is her integrity and focus on long-term success over quick affiliate commissions. She works on a no-cost basis to the buyer, meaning her guidance aligns with the candidate’s best fit and future outlook rather than high-pressure sales tactics. I am pleased to say I ultimately selected a franchise that aligned with my strengths, timeline, and lifestyle goals, and I owe much of that success to Ann Marie’s seasoned counsel. Any executive or investor seeking clarity, confidence, and a customized path into franchise ownership would benefit greatly from her expertise.”

“I appreciate David’s candor along the way as well as additional provisions through resources to better understand process during and after launch.”

“He has been a great support since we bought the business and has answered my panicked calls and helped me see that things really are pretty good.”

“I have worked with 4 franchise consultant over the years. Based upon the first three, I thought their role was just to make introductions to a franchise and wish you well. With Ann Marie it was completely different. She spent hours working to understand what drives me, what my skills were, my goals, etc. Only then did she make introductions. What a huge difference. But she did so much more. Even after the introductions she met with me to understand what I liked/disliked with each. She asked questions and helped me see risks based upon my goals/interests I might not have on my own. All without pressuring me. This is the standard for what a Franchise Consultant should be, sadly most will never know as they don’t find someone amazing like Ann Marie to work with.”

“David was excellent to work with and guided me through the process of discovery and validation.”

“David Weaver is a straight shooter and is great at directing his clients to understand their vision for franchise ownership.”

“My wife Asia and I had the pleasure of working with Ann Marie Weaver throughout our recent franchise discovery journey. From our very first conversation, Ann Marie demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, insight, and care. She guided us through the process with weekly calls, helping us evaluate opportunities and providing thoughtful perspectives on what it really means to become a franchise owner. Ann Marie took the time to understand our goals and priorities, and she was incredibly supportive, not just in exploring potential franchise options, but also in helping us assess whether the timing was right for our family. Even though we ultimately decided not to move forward with purchasing a franchise at this time, we walked away from the process with a much clearer understanding and complete confidence that we had the right partner in our corner. We truly enjoyed working with Ann Marie and would highly recommend her to anyone exploring franchise ownership. Her experience, honesty, and commitment to her clients make her an invaluable resource in what can be an overwhelming process. We’re confident that when the time is right and the right opportunity presents itself, we’ll be working with Ann Marie again, and we’re looking forward to it.”

“His willingness to remain a go-to resource for business advice, long after the initial franchise setup, reflects his dedication and passion for what he does.”

“He takes the time to get to know his clients, then he does a good bit of research to provide the best recommendations.”

“Like many people, I tend to be skeptical of ads and big promises on LinkedIn. But I can confidently say that Ann Marie Weaver is the real deal. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely passionate about helping others find financial freedom. From our very first conversation, Ann Marie was caring, transparent, and fully present. She listens deeply and makes you feel like more than just a client, she feels like a trusted coach and friend who is truly invested in your journey. What stood out most is her honesty and the level of trust we’ve built. This process could easily feel overwhelming, but Ann Marie brings clarity, compassion, and encouragement every step of the way. I’ll likely update this recommendation as we continue working together, but for now, I’ll just say this: Judge for yourself, give her a call. It just might change your life.”

“David has a very detailed process that enables his clients to identify opportunities that match their goals.”

“David not only was good at working with me on finding the right franchise, but also took the time to encourage me to look at myself and think bigger.”

“David explained each step of the franchise process, what to look for, and what not to worry about.”

“It’s not often that I find myself writing two recommendations for the same individual, but when you have a relationship that spans over 15 years, professional paths tend to cross more than once. Ann Marie has been an incredible source of inspiration for many years. Her strength, intelligence, and resilience are unmatched, and she never lets anything deter her from achieving her goals. Ann Marie excels in every endeavor she undertakes, consistently reaching the highest levels of performance. I am absolutely thrilled that Ann Marie is now utilizing her time, talents, and consulting skills to elevate franchise candidates into successful franchise owners. As a former multi-unit franchisee who ran successful locations, she possesses the knowledge and experience necessary to guide and support others on their journey to franchise ownership. Ann Marie is a passionate mentor, and those fortunate enough to work with her are truly blessed.”

“He provided me with the information and analysis I needed to understand my own needs and preferences and then connected me with top-notch opportunities.”

“David was excellent in keeping me grounded in my goals throughout and was open and honest during each step in my exploration.”

“I cannot recommend Ann Marie Weaver highly enough for anyone looking to transition into business ownership. Her consultative approach, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to guiding her clients make her an invaluable partner in the journey toward entrepreneurship. What truly sets Ann Marie apart is her real-world experience as a business owner. She brings a pragmatic, no-nonsense perspective that ensures you’re making informed decisions grounded in reality, not just theory. If you’re done with corporate America and ready to discover your next calling, Ann Marie is the person you need by your side.”

“David looks for the best brands for his clients while at the same time giving them the tools for success in being a successful franchise owner.”

“David’s knowledge, guidance and non-pushy demeanor helped us think outside the box and consider the pro’s/cons of Franchising allowing us to discover if it was truly a fit.”

“Ann Marie started out as a client with a lot of great ideas for our business. That grew into sharing best practices for our beauty and wellness brands. As our paths have paralleled each other and crossed over the years, it’s been great to play a part in and watch each other progress. Ann Marie handles many of our franchise owners payroll services now and we are fortunate to have such a professional, insightful, and seasoned local business owners perspective being shared. The payroll services themselves are fantastic but Ann Marie delivering them makes it a part of the business we feel completely confident with a fantastic partner.”

“I found his approach to be immensely valuable and highly supportive. Not only has it given me knowledge of how to franchise, but more importantly helped me realize my specific why.”

“I have not encountered a business coach who was as knowledgeable as David.”

“He was impressive enough for us to consult with him a second time.”

“Ann Marie is one of the most energetic and proficient human capital management consultants I have ever had the privilege to work! Her magnetic personality coupled with a sincere desire to help business owners simplify some of the most complex and critical business needs makes her a an ideal partner for any company. Provide Ann Marie the opportunity to earn your business and you’ll be a raving fan too!”

“There was not a single negative aspect of working with David – he’s thoughtful, easy going, but most importantly a true expert in his field.”

“He delivered exactly what I wanted by using a detailed approach and process that helped guide the decision making process and match my needs and goals.”

“Such a kind, compassionate, and strategic business owner!”

“He asks questions that probe the mind that makes people examine themselves and helps them define what their interests are, where their talents lie, what they like, and what they don’t like.”
