DON’T INVEST IN AN UNPROFITABLE FRANCHISE
THE BEST KEPT SECRETS IN FRANCHISE INVESTING
Dear Potential Business Owner,
Do you like the idea of owning a business that’s already been proven to be successful? A business where you’ll have an experienced team of professionals supporting you every day, to help increase your chances of success? An opportunity where you can be in business for yourself, but not by yourself…
That’s franchising! And we believe that it has proven itself over the last seventy years to be the most predictable and proven business model for true wealth creation and personal freedom.
The problem is that not all franchises are created equally. In fact, most are mediocre. It can be difficult to find elite emerging franchise brands with territory available.
If you want to learn how to get the “insider trade secrets” in identifying franchise business opportunities that are truly exceptional, then you’ve come to a great place. The brands on this site represent some of the most sought-after, exclusive and highest-potential franchise growth opportunities on the planet.
Each of these brands have been rigorously vetted to ensure they possess strong profitability potential. They must demonstrate exceptional franchise support programs. And they have to be brimming with happy franchise owners.
Invest in a franchise that is more likely to generate real profit, while simultaneously allowing you more time to do the things you love in life!

Kyle Christie and the entire Raintree Family are top notch! They were extremely personable, professional, honest, and were a complete joy to work with. I would give them more stars if I could rate them higher than 5-Stars. Just a fantastic group!!! Thank you Raintree Team!!!
Rob Taylor at Raintree did a fantastic job during our search and selection process with our Hounds Town USA franchise. They were very supportive, answered questions quickly and made the process very smooth. I highly recommend them if you are interested in becoming a franchisee.
Raintree was great in outlining the process and providing plenty of information. There were no pressure tactics, just good, honest commentary from someone with actual experience as a franchisee. Rob went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and provided valuable input that put me in a stronger position to move forward.
I found Raintree to be more knowledgeable than companys or individuals that represented other franchises. They knew their franchise so well they were able to provide the details and answer the questions that I needed to feel comfortable with moving forward. I would highly recommend their services.
Bill from Raintree was awesome to work with. He was there every step of the way as we start our new journey with Voodoo Brewery.
Raintree was amazing! From the qualification process in the beginning, answering all my questions, setting up meetings, all the way through the signing process, they were true and trusted partners. They made the prospect of franchising much less scary!
Throughout the process it didn't seem like it had anything to do with selling a franchise, it was about making sure that it ends up being a successful partnership for both parties. That's what you want! You won't be disappointed working with Brian and the Raintree team.
These brands are the best kept secrets in franchising. I'm now a franchise owner of two different Raintree recommended brands, and planning on rolling that success into a third soon. Thanks Raintree for the referrals!
Rob Taylor was amazing!! He was very knowledgeable about the Hounds Town Franchise and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Raintree if you're in the process of exploring any franchise.
We had such a great experience working with Kyle from Raintree. He walked us through all the steps to help make sure we were a good fit the franchise territories we were looking to purchase. Highly recommend!
From the first time I met with Brian Knuth at Raintree and throughout the entire franchise exploration process I was treated with respect, patience and understanding. I believe that Brian had both mine and Footprints Floors interests and objectives in mind when determining if we were a good fit.
How to feel accompanied, clearly advised, enlightened at all stages ? With Raintree, who does everything to make your project a success. I cannot thank Kyle enough for his skills, his responsiveness and kindness. In short, I highly recommend Raintree.
