Alesia Visconti, CEO and President of FranServe, Inc., the largest franchise consulting and expansion organization in the world, recently announced, “Franchise ownership has never been hotter! For the sixth year in a row, FranServe has set a new record with 2023 being our best year to date. I’m confident 2024 will make 2023 look pale in comparison.”
Visconti has set big goals for the upcoming year and is confident they will be reached if not exceeded. According to Visconti, small-business ownership has never appealed to more people across multiple generations as it does now, with many leaving the corporate world to go into business for themselves or looking for ways to create generational wealth for the future.
Franchise ownership helps jumpstart a successful business while mitigating risk. Following a proven franchise business model is better than doing it on your own with trial and error. With franchising, aspiring entrepreneurs can find a balance between finding independence as a business owner while still having the training, support and recognition of an established brand.
Visconti has a passion for changing lives through franchising. “I came to FranServe as an affiliate franchise broker. My perspective in EVERYTHING I do is on changing lives for others and helping people become franchisees. That perspective impacts our systems, priorities, training, programs and technology. We have one mission and no competing agendas,” stated Visconti.
Being an entrepreneurial leader evidenced by all she has accomplished in the past and a true visionary seeing where FranServe will go in the future, Visconti explained: “We will continue to set the pace for franchise consulting – labeled as a disruptor from day one. I took that as a compliment and continued to implement innovative concepts that competitors said could not be done… then copied them.”
At FranServe, the core executive team has been together through the last decade. Visconti added: “While of course we grow and add people to the team, there’s a reason we inspire loyalty and don’t have turnover. Empowering others is how leaders inspire.”
FranServe, Inc. continues to remain the largest franchise broker/consulting group in the world. Additionally, the highest number of franchise brands in many different industries trust their consultants to get placements done. Visconti said: “As I always say, ‘your vibe attracts your tribe’. People like being around success and at FranServe, that’s abundant every day.”
Each year, at FranServe’s Annual Convention and Franchise Expo, franchisors, funding partners and consultants gather for a magical experience not only in Florida but at the beautiful Disney Yacht and Beach Club Resort – a part Disney World itself – all reaping the benefits of learning, networking, sharing and having a wonderful time together, while growing their consultant businesses and franchise brands.
Visconti added: “I am very close friends with Mickey Mouse and all his pals.” Therefore, all attendees have the privilege of experiencing amazing meals, happy hours, training opportunities, valuable expo time and brand presentations. As a special treat, private time with Mickey Mouse and an exclusive waterfront viewing of the fireworks in Epcot took place for all to enjoy.
As we approach the new year of 2024, be sure to keep your eyes on FranServe and all they will accomplish in the year ahead!
