FranMent helps aspiring business owners figure out whether franchise ownership is right for them — and if it is, which franchise actually fits their goals, budget, and life. Based in the Charlotte, NC area and working with candidates nationwide, FranMent was founded by Maria Rogers, an entrepreneur with 25+ years in the trenches: 10 businesses built, 5 successful exits, and hands-on experience as both a franchisee and a franchise advisor. What makes FranMent different is simple: straight talk. Maria isn't a salesperson pushing whatever brand pays the highest commission — she's a mentor who's actually signed franchise agreements, scaled locations, made payroll, and sold businesses. She'll tell you when a franchise is a bad fit, when the numbers don't work, and when you're not ready yet — because the goal isn't to close a deal, it's to help you make the best decision of your working life. Services include franchise readiness assessment, personalized franchise matching, funding guidance,
