About Dave
Who I Am
I’m Dave Jones, a multi-unit franchise owner and franchise consultant who helps driven professionals build meaningful income and long-term stability through franchise business ownership. I started in the corporate world, moved into business ownership and now guide others through the same transition.

Professionals seeking stable income streams in unpredictable job markets
Individuals who want flexible or semi-absentee models
Families building equity through long-term investments
Entrepreneurs adding franchises to an existing portfolio
If you are looking for control, predictability, and a clear path to ownership, this process is designed for you.

Franchise Ownership is a unique opportunity to be in business FOR yourself but never BY yourself.
Here’s the process we follow:
-
Time and time again we’ve noticed one key attribute that great franchise owners share – a strong sense of self-awareness. It can be a daunting task to truly understand yourself and the opportunities your talents, interests, and wealth can create.
-
Franchises aren’t just fast food. In fact, 70% are not even food related.
-
Like every professional venture, you need a solid business plan. Learn how we can develop that plan for you
-
Together we’ll determine your best franchise option by interacting with a multitude of industry experts from legal advisors, financial advisors, other franchisees, the franchisor, and even the competition.
You will have the ability to examine documents like the Franchise Disclosure Document that overviews each individual franchise separately and to understand the options you have to finance your business in an cost effective manner.
Through my journey, I've realized that the key to success as a franchisee is understanding yourself; then finding a franchise concept that aligns with your interests, time commitment and financial goals.
With firsthand experience as a corporate executive and franchisee, I'm here to provide clarity and guidance. And the best part? My services come at no cost to you.

Feedback from our Clients
Vik
“I am in the CRS franchise system because of the support and guidance provided by Dave Jones. He explained the business to me, walked me through the process and connected me with helpful people to speak with during my diligence. Dave was never pushy and just provided the appropriate resources for me to make a decision. He was instrumental in me choosing to franchise with CRS.
