FranLift is a dedicated franchise development partner that helps brands “launch beyond boundaries.” Founded by industry veteran Michael Pollock, the firm provides full-service solutions for both emerging and established franchisors — helping them build the infrastructure, systems and strategies required for sustainable, profitable growth.

From identifying a brand’s unique strengths to developing a go-to-market strategy and closing franchise deals, FranLift offers a full suite of support. The firm serves as an extension of the franchisor’s team — enabling leadership to stay focused on operations and marketing while FranLift handles the intricacies of franchise sales and development.

FranLift begins every client engagement with a deep discovery process to align with leadership goals, analyze unit economics and assess the brand’s scalability. This foundation enables the firm to craft a comprehensive franchise sales strategy rooted in reality, not hype.

The team then executes a layered growth strategy that incorporates franchise broker networks, PR, digital marketing, trade shows and recruitment best practices to drive qualified leads and close deals.
