ABOUT TERI O.USMC FRANCHISE ADVISOR
Most professionals don’t have an income problem. They have an asset problem. They’ve built careers. They’ve built 401(k)s. They’ve built brokerage accounts. But they haven’t built cash-flowing businesses. That’s where I come in. I help corporate leaders, veterans, and growth-minded investors build semi-passive income through strategic franchise ownership. Not food franchises. Not fads. Not guesswork. Structured, scalable franchise assets designed to produce:• Recurring revenue• Strong unit economics• Multi-unit expansion opportunities• Long-term exit value. Why Work With Me?Before founding Prosperity Franchise Group, I:• Served in the United States Marine Corps• Built a career in banking and finance• Invested in and scaled multiple franchise brands• Evaluated hundreds of Franchise Disclosure Documents• Structured multi-unit and area developer strategies.I don’t just “match people with brands.”I help investors think like operators and private equity. We analyze:• Capital stack & liquidity• Risk tolerance• Income targets• Time involvement• Market opportunity• Territory strategy• Exit potentialBecause buying a franchise is not the goal. Building an income-producing asset portfolio is who I typically work with. Corporate executives ready to own equity Veterans transitioning into business ownership Real estate investors looking for operating businesses Investors with $200K+ liquidity Growth-minded operators who want scale, not a hobby. If you’re casually browsing, I’m probably not your person. If you’re serious about deploying capital within the next 3–6 months and want a structured plan, we should talk.What the process looks like:1⃣ Strategic Clarity Session2⃣ Franchise Readiness Assessment3⃣ Financial Lifestyle Modeling4⃣ Curated Brand Introductions5⃣ Validation & Due Diligence6⃣ Structured Launch PlanThis is advisory-level work — not a directory search.
