Navigate Franchising – Franchise Consulting for Houston

 At Navigate Franchising, we understand that every entrepreneur's journey is different. That’s why we work with people from a wide range of backgrounds—including veterans, parents re-entering the workforce, career changers, and seasoned business owners. Our goal is to help you find a franchise opportunity that fits your skills, goals, and lifestyle.

Franchise systems value the discipline, resilience, and leadership skills that military veterans bring to business ownership. Corey Stender, our lead franchise consultant and a former U.S. Army Airborne Infantryman, understands the transition to civilian entrepreneurship firsthand. He works closely with fellow veterans in Houston to match them with franchise models that suit their mission-driven mindset and strengths.

If you’ve taken time away from your career to raise a family and are ready to re-enter the workforce, franchising can be the perfect fit. We help parents explore how to become a franchise owner with flexible models that support a balanced lifestyle. Our approach ensures you’re not just working again—you’re building something with long-term value.

Houston professionals from tech, healthcare, education, and corporate sectors often reach a point where they’re ready for a new path. Franchising allows you to take charge of your professional and financial future with support and structure. We show you how to buy a franchise and guide you through each step—research, selection, validation, and launch.

 Already running a successful business? You may be looking for franchise investment opportunities that diversify your income. We specialize in identifying executive or semi-passive franchise models that allow you to keep your day job while expanding your business interests. As a multi-unit franchisee himself, Corey knows what it takes to scale smart.

 Franchising is not one-size-fits-all. Our franchise consulting services help you explore top-performing industries in the Houston market, including:

• Home Services – B2B/B2C models for restoration, repair, roofing, and cleaning
• Health & Wellness – From smoothie bars to recovery spas and supplement stores
• Boutique Fitness – High-energy options like CrossFit, barre, and rowing studios
• Senior Care – In-home care and placement services for aging populations
• Pet Services – Grooming, daycare, and specialty pet retail

Whether you’re seeking a hands-on role or a manager-run model, we help match you with industries that fit your goals and strengths.

 At Navigate Franchising, we don’t sell franchises—we advise, support, and guide. Corey’s personal dedication ensures that every client receives customized attention, honest advice, and the benefit of real-world franchise experience. We’re proud to serve the Houston community with one-on-one coaching and expert insights, which are free to our candidates. If you’re ready to start a franchise business or learn more from a trusted franchise coach, we’re ready to help.
