Mark Eldridge, our CEO and Founder has served the franchise industry in many roles for a large portion of his professional career. After spending 10 years in public accounting as a CPA, he entered the franchise industry. He has been a franchise owner for multiple international brands since the early 1990s and has built several successful businesses throughout his esteemed professional career. Mark has also built partnerships with several international franchise systems, and he has consulted, coached, and advised their franchise owners and corporate offices.
In our predecessor company, Focus Business Coaching & Consulting, we partnered with over 1,000 franchise owners in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, giving them the tools and knowledge necessary to grow extraordinarily successful and profitable businesses. We also partnered with several franchisors, guiding them through the process of building and sustaining a proven model and support system for their franchisees to succeed. Through these experiences, we identified the financial needs that our clients were not receiving from traditional institutions. Thus, we created our entity, Focus Business Financing, dedicated solely to serving our clients’ financing needs.
Mark’s experience coaching franchisees and franchisors gives him a unique view of the needs of these business owners. His leadership, along with the expertise of the Focus team make Focus Business Financing the #1 resource for financing in the franchise industry.
