Karleen is absolutely wonderful! She patiently and thoroughly presented me with several potential franchise opportunities and did not push back when I was initially reluctant to proceed. When I decided to proceed, she guided me through the process, ensuring no surprises, answering my questions, and putting me in touch with others who could advise me regarding related matters like obtaining financing. I highly recommend Karlene to anyone who has any interest at all in learning about franchising and exploring opportunities she tailors based on your interests, prior experience, and aptitude. I could not be more satisfied with the service she provided to me.

In our introduction email, we were really just playing with the idea of buying a franchise. 6 months later, we own our business. We didn't think we had the time or money, but Karleen asked the right questions and quickly had over a dozen opportunities for us to look at that really did fit our situation.
We didn't have a lot of liquid capital and I didn't want to leave my job, but Karleen was still able to find an opportunity that fit our needs perfectly.
Karleen is the starting point of all the connections you'll need to successfully start your business.
Every company we spoke to was glad to hear we were working with Karleen. She is obviously very respected in the industry.

From the very beginning, Karleen's knowledge and expertise in the franchising industry shone through, guiding us through the entire process of finding the right franchise opportunity. Her personalized approach, taking the time to understand our values and goals, ensured that we were presented with options perfectly tailored to our needs.
Even after finalizing the franchise agreement, Karleen continued to be a supportive presence, checking in on our progress and ensuring a smooth transition. Her genuine care for her clients is obvious.
We cannot recommend Karleen Haas highly enough. She is an outstanding Franchise Coach, and her commitment to her clients' success is truly remarkable. If you're looking for someone who will not only guide you through the process but also become a partner in your journey, Karleen is the one!"

I met Karleen Haas in early 2022 when I was unemployed. Karleen contacted me to see if I would be interested in going into business for myself. What I really appreciated about our interactions was that there was no pressure. We spoke once every couple of weeks for a 6-month period. The conversation was focused on my interest were and what I would want to do if I owned my own business. She was very interested in me achieving my life goals. We finally got to a point that Karleen suggested 7 possible businesses. What I really valued about the time I worked with Karleen was her patience’s, professionalism, kindness, and willingness to spend all the time I needed to get comfortable with the process.
Once we narrowed down my choices to a few possible businesses she helped me through the validation process. We got to a point I was able to make a decision that took me to franchise ownership and could not be happier.
As I began opening the business Karleen helped guided me to the resources, I needed to get my business opened. I am so glad I met Karleen and very thankful that I had someone that cared about me and my goals.

Karleen's mentorship extended beyond the initial purchase. Her ongoing commitment to my success was evident in her availability to answer questions, address concerns, and provide strategic advice whenever needed. Her insights into franchise management and marketing have been instrumental in the continuous growth of my business. Additionally, her reputation within the franchise industry is impressive. Every single person that I spoke to had nothing but glowing things to say about Karleen. They kept saying, "you've got the best coach in the business!"
Not only is Karleen exceptionally skilled in her profession, but her friendly and approachable demeanor also made the coaching process enjoyable and productive. She created an open and trusting environment where I felt comfortable discussing my ideas and seeking feedback, allowing me to harness my potential and maximize my capabilities as a franchise owner.

I first got connected with Karleen when I began my search to buy a business. Karleen introduced me to the idea of franchises - which I knew little about. She educated me on the value of buying into the franchise model. She focused on what my industry experience or passion were and began with providing me with a list of 10 franchise opportunities.
After I researched them, we went over each on the call and highlighted the pros and cons of each. Karleen continued to narrow the focus and we continued the research, discussion conversation. Finally, I found the opportunity that I was passionate about and provided significant financial opportunity.
Karleen was a pleasure to work with, she has significant experience in understanding franchises and the opportunity they can provide. I highly recommend her to anyone who is considering investing in franchises.

Our experience with Karleen was excellent. Karleen truly took the time to understand enough about my wife and I, our goals, our relationship, our backgrounds, our strengths, etc., so that she could match us with the best possible business opportunities. Karleen provided several really strong options for us - so strong, that it was hard to choose.
Rolf, Texas
I have been highly impressed with my interactions with Karleen, to help me find a franchise business opportunity that matches well with my skills and interests. She took the time initially to get to know me, my background, and what I was interested in, before going off to do some specific research to bring me back ideas that gave me a good overview of what I could do. I felt like the opportunities were diverse, but focused around me and my desires, not just anything she had available. I really appreciated the due diligence and support along the way, to help me find a good match!
Christopher, New York
Karleen is the best. She helped me through every step of the process of finding a business that suited me. She is very knowledgeable, helpful and caring. I not only started a new business, but gained a new friend in Karleen.

I worked with Karleen while investigating franchise opportunities. The process of investigating franchises can be overwhelming as there are so many franchises and, so many franchises that I never knew existed. The discovery process with all the available franchises can be a full-time endeavor. That’s where Karleen comes in.
The magic behind Karleen is in her ability to match a person’s experience, strengths, and desires with a franchise that will reach financial goals. Karleen actively listens and analyzes the information to deliver the best franchise recommendations. In addition to franchise selection, Karleen also helps with understanding the validation process, how to read and understand franchise documents and always kept me prepared for the next step in franchise ownership. Karleen was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to our paths crossing in the future.
Needless to say, I highly recommend Karleen when it comes to understanding franchise businesses.
Craig, California
I found myself unemployed at 51 years old after working full-time for over 27 years in a white-collar field. I was not over-extended with credit payments, had a decent retirement set back, and therefore; had good credit. Although I found interested employers, interviews resulted in me being over-qualified, the employer thinking that I would move on to a better job, or frankly – too old for the company. I wanted to be in control on my own employment and destination and have sound business acumen. I have a family and very fortunate to be in good physical shape.
Karleen assisted me with thinking “outside the box”. She was patient and helped me define what business areas that I wanted to help people while earning a living. This process took time, a lot of time. Karleen does not want any money from you as she is paid by referral fees (through companies that you may invest in). You must stay focused and patient while ensuring that you have enough income (through family or on your own) to maintain expenses. I am now a proud owner of my own franchise and I earn a salary through my own company. I am in control of the company and I am ecstatic to no longer be answering to a CEO or Board of Directors that know nothing about my career field of study. This is not an easy process and you must be disciplined to arrive at your destination.
Thank you for your assistance, Karleen!

Karleen is an excellent franchise coach. After being laid off and in between jobs, I started exploring franchise opportunities and was contacted by Karleen. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was very impressed with her coaching process. There were no hard sale tactics and it really felt like she had my best interests at heart. She took time to understand my situation and presented several viable options covering a wide range of financial and personal resource requirements, clearly explaining the business models, risks and advantages of each. I ended up landing another full-time position and decided not to pursue any franchise opportunities further, but Karleen definitely showed me the potential in franchise ownership and I will be sure to contact her if I decide to consider franchising in the future. I highly recommend Karleen’s services to anyone looking to start or expand a franchise business and wish her continued success as a coach.

Karleen, I wanted to thank you for helping me navigate the world of franchising. Your knowledge of the various companies made it easy for me to determine what was a fit and more importantly, what wasn’t a fit for me. You were always there to answer my questions, especially about potential pitfalls in franchising. Through it all I never felt pressured by you… I really appreciated that. Your assistance saved me months in my decision-making process. If anyone ever needs to know how helpful you are with your assistance, don’t hesitate to give them my contact info. Thanks again Karleen.

As we looked for Franchise Business Opportunities, Karleen was instrumental in educating us on all the options available. Being novices in the area, Karleen was extremely efficient in providing us with all the required information in a very timely manner and was very patient in answering our multitude of questions. Her promptness in replying to emails, great demeanor during our phone meetings and her knowledge of the Franchise Opportunities as well as our psyches during the process were exemplary and made us very comfortable to explore the various Franchises that met our criteria. Karleen’s commitment to making us successful and to providing us great customer service are commended.
