A free assessment
A short questionnaire, roughly seven minutes, that ranks franchise models against your capital, availability and working style.
Franchise Ownership Guidance
Ownership starts with one step, not a leap.
California Food & Services, LLC helps people work out whether franchise ownership fits them, and which model actually suits their capital, their schedule and the life they are trying to build. The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

What We Do
Guidance through a decision most people make once.
Buying a franchise is a large, unfamiliar purchase with a lot of parties who are paid when you say yes. Our role is to sit on your side of that table.
A real conversation
A consultation with no obligation attached, to talk through what the assessment surfaced and what it missed about your situation.
Opportunity matching
Introductions to franchise opportunities that fit the profile, rather than whichever brand happens to be marketing hardest this quarter.
Financial literacy
Plain explanations of what the numbers in a franchise disclosure actually mean before you are asked to sign anything.
An honest no
Sometimes the answer is that now is not the moment, or that none of the available models fit. That is a legitimate outcome of the process.
Support after the decision
The handover to a franchisor is where most guidance stops. We stay reachable through the part where the questions get practical.
Categories
The kinds of businesses people ask about.
Different categories demand very different things: hours on site, staffing, physical premises, licensing. Part of the work is finding which demands you can actually live with.

How It Works
Three steps, in this order.
Nothing is hidden behind a deposit, and nothing moves forward until you decide it should.
Step 01
Take the assessment
About seven minutes. It ranks franchise models against your capital, your availability and how hands on you intend to be.
Step 02
Get on a call
We go through what came back, what the assessment could not know, and which of the shortlisted models are worth a closer look.
Step 03
Make the decision
If something fits, we guide you through the diligence and the introduction. If nothing does, you have lost a conversation and learned something.
Programs
Two routes besides buying a franchise outright.
Full ownership is not the only entry point, and for many people it is not the right first one.
Eight week entrepreneurship program
A fully remote program that works through the fundamentals of running a business, for people who want preparation before they commit capital. Eight weeks, structured, done from wherever you are.
Micro investing
A way to own a piece of real businesses at a smaller scale, for people who want exposure and a stake without taking on a whole operation at once.

Franchise offerings are made only through a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document where required by law, and availability varies by state.
