USG is simply a cut above... I get a behind-the-scenes look at many franchise brands, and their work is impressive! USG’s franchise manuals provide exceptional documentation that’s motivating, easy to read and use. It’s just what new business owners need to start strong, and seasoned owners need to stay strong.

We couldn’t be happier with our relationship with Upside Group. After 90 years our family were experts in bread baking and making sandwiches! After winning countless awards for our food year after year one thing became apparent, our past experience wasn’t translating into us being a successful franchise. We just didn’t know what we didn’t know, but after hiring Upside Group franchise consulting we have gained invaluable knowledge in to how to be a great franchisor!

We made some pretty expensive mistakes prior to meeting Upside Group Franchise consulting. We now know what we didn’t know then, that some investment and planning up front can save you exponential time and money in the long run! We are thankful we went out and got the help we needed.

It has been such a relief to hand over the entire sales function to Upside Group. From franchise lead generation to franchise screening and closing the deal, they handle every step along the way and I trust them to represent our company like we would if we were handling the sales ourselves. We have not found another franchise consulting company that can come close to delivering the same results. We are definitely on the UP SIDE!

Upside Group reviewed our business goals and processes, then streamlined strategic operations so that every department and employee started operating as one cohesive unit instead of being limited by a tunnel vision view of their own responsibilities. The collaboration has increased our competitiveness, customer satisfaction and franchise profits and overall company growth. Now I wonder how we ever did things the way we did.
