Summa provides end to end solutions to franchisors and those who want to be in franchising!
After years of successfully working with and for franchise companies as advisors, investors, and CEOs, our leadership team felt that most franchise consulting projects are underdeveloped and poorly executed. The simple problem is that most consulting firms don’t have recent experience selling franchises or operating franchise companies—two areas where we excel every day.
Summa was created to provide a complete, informed solution—from the birth of a new concept to solving company problems to helping clients of all sizes create franchisee growth and franchisor success—all on a reasonable cost basis.
