Last week, the FranFund team had the pleasure of attending the 2025 FranChoice Conference in Cincinnati. This year’s event was more than a gathering; it marked a major milestone as FranChoice celebrated 25 years of helping people take meaningful steps toward franchise ownership.
Celebrating Successes and Meaningful Moments
Spending time with everyone during the week was truly rewarding. The fireworks and the riverboat outing stood out as memorable moments. They gave us a chance to pause, enjoy the views, and share quality time with the people we collaborate with.
Another highlight was stepping away from the usual format and performing our very first FranFund rap instead of a traditional presentation. It added a fun twist to the event, and we loved the energy it brought to the room. It reminded us that even when sharing important information, there is always room to get creative and connect in a more personal way.
The Power of Collaboration in Franchising
One of the things we appreciate most about franchising is how many companies come together to support each other. It is not just about doing our jobs well. It is about working as a team to help entrepreneurs succeed, whether they are just starting out or growing their business into something bigger.
This week allowed us the opportunity to catch up with so many people we admire in the franchise community, and we were grateful to hear how our team plays a role in their success. Kim Daly, a Franchise Consultant at FranChoice, told us, “We couldn’t do what we do without you guys at FranFund.” Her fellow FranChoice consultant, Stephen Maeker, shared the same sentiment in a room full of peers: “If you guys out here are not using FranFund, you’re missing out.”
Our partners trust us with their clients, and we take that responsibility seriously, working alongside them at every stage. We are proud to collaborate with people who share the same dedication to helping entrepreneurs thrive. It is that shared commitment that makes this community so strong.
Looking Ahead with Gratitude
Congratulations again to the entire FranChoice team. We are honored to celebrate this milestone with you and look forward to many more years of impact and making things happen together.
Such a legacy does not happen by chance. It requires consistency, care, and genuine dedication to helping others succeed.
We are honored to play a part in that journey by supporting some of their clients along the way, and we truly admire the work FranChoice continues to put into building such a strong and trusted network.
