2) Tamika Franklyn - Founder - Precision Franchise LLC,

Founder of Precision Franchise LLC, guiding aspiring entrepreneurs in owning proven model businesses. I have access to several hundred Franchise Businesses and Opportunities where I provide 1:1 consultations to determine the best business model for your lifestyle and goals, preparing you with introductions to the franchisors.

The reason why I am so passionate about this business is because of the lucrative opportunities that are available in this space.I realized that no one I knew personally was familiar with this path of business ownership and needed help understanding why. I then came to realize that one of the key reasons was that there weren't many people who looked like me actually educating my community on this successful path to business ownership. This made me passionate to become visible in this space and take this knowledge back to women and people of color, as we only make up 28% of this industry so that they can understand that owning a Franchise or Proven Business Models is well within their grasp and I can help them do it!

Testimonials From Attendees:

“The presentation each of you on the team panel offered at franchise expo specifically geared to the minority experience was delivered enthusiastically and provided a good glimpse into franchising overall. I did learn a great deal from the presentation, particularly on the areas to question, next steps, capital, as well as what to avoid.

Thank you again." - Valerie Best
