Our Story

FranPursuit is led by its founder, Erin Pate, a franchise industry professional of 24 years. Prior to starting her consulting business, Erin was an operations leader for two decades in the retail and senior care industries. She directed hundreds of new franchise start-ups across the U.S. and consulted with new and established business owners on processes, systems, and scaling.

Erin’s corporate franchise experience allowed her to work closely with senior leadership to drive new franchise sales, resales, and private equity acquisitions. As a result, she gained a thorough knowledge of how a franchise should (and should not) operate.

The Creation of FranPursuit, LLC

Like many professionals, Erin started to think about taking on a new challenge. On a personal level, Erin and her husband experienced a long road of infertility all while trying to navigate the uncertainty of the pandemic.

After supporting entrepreneurs for more than 20 years, Erin took the leap of faith and founded FranPursuit, LLC in 2021.

Thankfully today, business is thriving!

FranPursuit provides clients with personalized guidance and resources to evaluate franchise opportunities. Our consultative process includes sharing “insider knowledge” of new and established franchises, access to trusted partners for legal and funding advice, education on the franchisor-franchisee relationship, and tips on how to evaluate the value proposition of the business model.

Additionally, FranPursuit partners with new and emerging franchises to consult on Training and Operations to best support their new owners and expansion plans.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward franchise ownership, I would be honored to work with you.

Together, we’ll identify your goals, plot your path to success, and define your journey!
