"After hearing about the College Assistance Plus program and the wealth of information and negotiating power it provides, we were convinced it could make a difference in our daughter's situation. The program identified several colleges whose packages resulted in less out-of-pocket costs and, more importantly, Paul was able to use this information to personally obtain a better package with our daughter's preferred college choice! We helped her move in to her new dorm room this past weekend and she's thrilled to have started classes right where she dreamed of attending!"
- Lin and Debbie

"We found College Assistance Plus to be a big help in our understanding of the FAFSA process, and how best to compare one college's financial offer versus another. As we were new to the process, Paul and his staff helped make a somewhat daunting challenge both understandable and achievable."
- Peter

What kind of a market is there in assisting parents with the college process?
With over 2.7 million students going to college each year and costs continuing to rise, parents need help saving money and navigating this process!

Do I need to have experience in education to get into this business?
No. Our ideal franchisee would have a background in sales and marketing, or small business ownership, not necessarily in the educational system. If you have or had children in college, you will understand the process and be able to relate to your clients. The key to a successful franchise is not your experience with the educational system, but in following our proven business program. We will give you all the support and training you need, no matter what your background is.

What kind of experience should I have?
Sales, marketing, business, and/or teaching experience is helpful, but your success will be dependent on possessing strong communication and organizational skills. As is the case in any business, a strong work ethic and values will be an essential element to making your franchise succeed.

Can you guarantee that I will be successful in this business?
If you follow our proven marketing strategies and business plan, you will have an excellent chance of being very successful. Many factors will determine your success, including your passion to succeed, an ability to communicate with clients, and your skill at developing a respected and valued relationship with customers.

How many employees will I need?
You can work alone, have an assistant, or have a partner. Our founders have learned that both ways are effective!
