Hello, I’m Craig Accardo, an experienced entrepreneur and franchise consultant dedicated to helping individuals navigate the exciting world of franchising. With over 20 years of expertise in sales, account management, and business development, I specialize in developing effective strategies that drive market growth and attract potential customers.

My journey in franchising began as a multi-unit operator and franchisee of well-known brands. I successfully owned and managed multiple franchise locations, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations and fostering strong business alliances. This hands-on experience has given me deep insights into the operational, financial, and strategic aspects of running a franchise business. I understand the challenges and rewards that come with franchise ownership, and I’m passionate about sharing this knowledge with others.

Before venturing into entrepreneurship, I honed my skills as a Senior Claims Specialist at a leading insurance company. In this role, I managed complex bodily injury claims, negotiated settlements, and developed exceptional communication and problem-solving abilities that have been invaluable throughout my career.

As a franchise broker with Franchise Business Matchmaker, I leverage my extensive experience to connect aspiring entrepreneurs with franchise opportunities that align with their goals, skills, and financial capabilities. My client-centered approach ensures that each individual receives personalized guidance tailored to their unique needs.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I’m actively involved in my community. I serve as an Ambassador for the East Orlando Chamber of Commerce and have been a Board Member of the Rotary Club since 2009. These roles allow me to contribute to local development and support initiatives that make a positive impact.

I’m committed to helping you find the franchise opportunity that’s right for you. Whether you’re just starting to explore franchising or ready to take the next step, I’m here to provide the expertise and support you need to achieve your business aspirations.

Feel free to reach out to me to start your journey toward successful franchise ownership.
