Top Franchise Brokers: Blake Martin, FranNet

As a franchise owner and former franchisor with over 20 years of experience, Blake Martin is well equipped to help aspiring entrepreneurs in Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin achieve their dreams of business ownership. Martin currently owns FranNet of the Heartland and is based in Omaha, Nebraska where he advises aspiring small business entrepreneurs as well as those looking for additional businesses to find the right investment opportunities.

“I live in the shoes of the folks that come to me for assistance,” said Martin. “I’m a local franchise owner myself, and prior to that, I was a franchisor. So, if nothing else, I can provide guidance to folks based on what it looks like to be in this industry.”

While Martin finds success in helping others achieve their financial goals, his satisfaction as a franchise consultant runs much deeper: “My idea of success is helping somebody start a business that helps them achieve their goal. Not just financial goals, but helping them be more present with their family, having the flexibility to do the things they weren’t able to do before, etc. When somebody comes up to me and says, ‘Remember when you introduced me to that business? Now I have more time with my kids,’ that’s the ultimate compliment.”

Martin services the Bellevue, Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Fremont, Grand Island, Lincoln, Omaha, Scottsbluff, Sioux City and the surrounding Nebraska and Western Iowa areas. For more information about Martin’s services or to contact him directly, visit:
