A Winning Combination

 

Meet Joel Libava, owner of Franchise Selection Specialists Inc. Joel's company offers free franchise matchmaking services. But that's not the end of it. Joel truly believes in helping others realize success. So he goes beyond the matchmaking. Joel introduces his clients to local professionals including franchise attorneys, CPAs and lenders who can assist them in all facets of their due diligence process. It's this combination that helps those searching for a business lower their risk.

Joel's father started the business in 1990 and Joel joined him in 2001. A victim of a downsizing Joel has a unique understanding of the position his clients are in.

Joel doesn't pull any punches. He is brutally honest and pro-franchise. But that doesn't mean he thinks every franchise company is great. He works with a very select group of franchise companies. He's also very selective about who he takes on as a client. Franchising isn't for everybody and Joel knows that.

Joel has some words of caution for anyone thinking about buying a franchise. Remember that you still have to work the business. It's not like you can show up, follow the operations manual and the rest will just "happen."

Some really exciting news Joel has to share is how he helped a Cleveland area non-profit select a terrific franchise that matched their needs perfectly. This alliance is a first of its kind in Northeast Ohio. You can read more about it here.

For all of these reasons Joel truly loves what he does. He knows he is helping change people's lives for the better. As his wife says, he is principled - a rare quality these days!
