## About
Franchises Available Now is a franchise education and lead-generation
platform created by franchise consultant Steve. Unlike large franchise
directories that list hundreds of brands, this site curates a smaller set
of vetted opportunities and pairs them with independent research, honest
advisor commentary, and free guidance on funding (SBA loans, 401k/ROBS
rollovers, equipment financing). An AI Franchise Advisor chat is available
to match visitors with relevant opportunities based on budget, lifestyle,
and goals; if nothing fits, a human consultant follows up at no cost.
