What We Do
I can help you make the dream of franchise/business ownership a reality whether this is a completely new venture for you, or adding to your existing portfolio of assets. It all starts with a free consultation with me.
Introductory Call
Our goal is to help you navigate through the process of determining what franchise opportunities may be suitable for you, if at all. We like to learn about your work experience, passions, and goals, and set realistic expectations. This is a call where it's important to lay the ground rules for engagement, and build a rapport with each other as it's important for me to learn as much as I can about your goals and objectives as possible so I can do my best to serve you as a guide and a trusted advisor.
Assessment
After learning more about you, we assess what could be the best fit so you can properly manage your time, align with your skills, and realistically achieve your objectives. I'd like to hear more about the achievements you've had, what you want to change about your life, and what you can gain from owning a franchise business. This assessment is often a hybrid between the 1st and 2nd calls I have with you.
Brand Discovery
We'll do a market assessment to determine based on what you've shared with us so far that could be a fit in your area. Typically we'll come up with a handful of options to show you a diversified group of ideas across industry segments and suggest checking out 2 to 3 to get a feel for what fits best. We'll make the introductions to the development managers at the franchisors where needed as long as you have the time to start the exploration process over the next couple of weeks.
About the genesis of RRFF Consulting
I got into this business because I wanted to help people. I left the corporate world in the summer of ’20 at the peak of the pandemic. I lost my job and didn’t know what to do so I took a call from a franchise consultant to see if franchising was right for me. While I evaluated Senior Care options I determined the owner-operator approach wasn’t for me and that at some point I may select a semi-absentee franchise concept for my self while I work on other things. So I became a franchise consultant under the tutelage of some more experienced folks for two years before launching my own practice because I wanted to use my personal work experience working in financial services and the world of business to advise people on the best path they can take to Recognize Real Financial Freedom through franchise ownership.
We’ll Ensure You Always Get the Best Guidance.

About Me
I maintain residences in both Brooklyn, NY and Northern New Jersey, graduating from the University of Delaware in 2001. With almost two decades of work experience in professional and financial services organizations in sales and business development roles (and remaining a licensed financial securities representative), I found my calling in the world of franchising. While I’ve always enjoyed helping others, it’s a great pleasure to provide guidance to people of all different backgrounds, showing them the path to acquiring a turn-key business concept that they could build up, has strong support around them, and feel confident they’ll achieve their goals. The time I’ve spent with investment clients should serve you with extra confidence that I can help identify the right franchise concept for you based on a strong expected ROI and growth potential in your market.

Client Testimonials
Rich took an overwhelming process and simplified it from the very beginning of our business relationship with him! After our first call, where Rich asks questions to determine where your interests/passions lie, I told my husband there was no way the questions he asked would lead him to franchises that we’d be interested in starting. By the end of the second call, I was proven very wrong! I don’t know how he did it, but he took what felt like limited information and presented us with 3 solid choices that aligned completely with our interests. We ended up choosing one of the initial 3, and could not be more pleased with the outcome! Had we not spoken with Rich, I doubt we would have ended up on the right path but thanks to his knowledge of available franchises and diligence in uncovering what we didn’t even know we were looking for, we are on exactly the right path for our new business and our family's future.
Tara & Justin Neff – St Augustine, FL
Rich has been such a great help in finding us the right franchise. His assistance has made a big impact on our family in a positive way. He started with thoroughly showing and providing complete details on multiple business concepts. Due to the thoroughness we were able to make the right decision for us. We ended up with a mental health concept that made sense for us. We are really grateful that he was there for us during the discovery and due diligence process.
Simple & Ruchin Patel – Warrington, PA
I wasn't actively looking for a franchise when I first was in touch with Rich, but I was certainly curious as I had conducted a search several years ago and at that point thought it would be a full time commitment and capital cost intensive project that would be too difficult to pursue. Rich explained to me that there were some semi-absentee concepts in the services-field where I could keep my full-time job and start the business at the same time. He considered my work experience in supply chain and operations, my risk tolerance, and appetite for an investment and helped me find a great option with fantastic franchisor support. The business I chose is in the essential industry of plumbing and drain & sewer repair services. He connected me to a solid financing group, and made sure all the steps were covered before contracts were signed and training was set to begin. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending using Rich's services if you're interested in business ownership
Raymond Ledesma – Spring, TX
When I first spoke to Rich I really wasn't sure which direction to go in for the franchise search. I knew I wanted to run a business and I've done so before, but I wanted it to have turnkey infrastructure so I didn't have to reinvent the wheel. We looked at beauty, wellness, home services, and even youth sports ideas together. But his guidance and suggestion in identifying a specialty auto concept was a great suggestion for our family. I would recommend him to anyone that could use some help in finding the right business for them.
