Possessing the skills, drive, and intestinal fortitude are common traits from a veteran. These are the exact same traits franchisors are looking for when awarding a franchise.

Parents often need to take extended leaves from a career for various reasons, but they can feel confident in returning to the workforce with a franchise that is built around their specific needs.

What My Candidates & Colleagues Are Saying

"Working with Corey is a true collaboration in every sense of the word. His communication is excellent -fluid, strategic and always timely. Placing his candidate into business ownership recently was the first opportunity we had to work together and he was an absolute pro. His candidates' interests were first and foremost for him at all times. He placed great emphasis on ensuring each step of the journey aligned with his client's needs and made very well thought out suggestions that benefited his candidate, the process and myself along the way. Ultimately, we have a successful placement of a candidate who will be "one to watch". Can't wait do it all over again soon Corey!"


- Kelly Macht, Franchise Fastlane

"I was still applying for positions that matched my corporate skill set but my hustle instincts kicked in and I was exploring six franchises to purchase. Corey’s only ask was for me to trust the process. I was glad he did because we focused on my interests, what I excelled at and what I wanted MY company to be. I wanted a true people-first brand and partnership group that was unwavering to their commitment to people – it had to be their “why”! Simply put, I wanted a brand that was… well, dope! Much to my surprise that brand was Bloomin Blinds.

Bloomin Blinds is selective in choosing who represents the brand and doesn’t award territories to individuals who don't fit. From the people, to technology, product knowledge, leader accessibility, to simply having fun, there was no doubt in the brand I wanted to own. So, I did and couldn’t be happier."


- Micheal Avery, Bloomin' Blinds Frachise Owner

"Corey Stender was instrumental in helping me find and purchase a franchise after my layoff. He was incredibly helpful, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process. Corey’s straightforward approach made navigating the complexities much easier, and his guidance gave me confidence every step of the way. I highly recommend Corey to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable partner in franchising."


- Shanticleer Graham, Seniors Helping Seniors Franchise Owner
