Tim Parmeter

Tim is the Founder and CEO of FranCoach, a company he launched over a decade ago. What started as a one man show from his kitchen table, has turned into a full-service franchise consulting firm.

FranCoach has helped hundreds of clients make the transition into franchise ownership by taking an educational approach that focuses on what is best for their client, rather than themselves.

In addition to working with clients and building a team of highly trained coaches, Tim has created an entire Media Division of FranCoach. This started with the creation of the Franchising 101 Podcast. Launched in late 2020, the Franchising 101 Podcast is one of the most listened to and referenced podcast in the franchising industry.

The Media Division grew in 2024 with the launch of the industry’s first and only nationally syndicated television show, The Franchising 360 Show. Tim co-hosts this show alongside Danielle Wright who is the President of FranCoach, Founder of Create a Shift, and Tim’s wife.

Also in 2024, Tim released a book titled, Becoming a Franchise Owner – https://amzn.to/4777udP.

Personally, Tim is a husband, a father of 2, stepfather of 2, and dog dad of 1. Tim and Danielle’s life outside of franchising involves a healthy dose of travel, golf, and dog walking.

  • A lifelong Cubs fan, he’s as loyal to the team as he is to his family.
  • Now on his third career path, he’s living proof that it’s never too late to pivot and find your passion.
  • Off the court, he’s a proud dad to a son who just might be a rock star in the making.

“You have nothing to lose by having a conversation with FranCoach. Worst-case scenario, you discover you don’t want to touch this with a ten-foot pole. But best case, you figure out, hey this might be something for me and there are some possibilities here.”

Stephen, Arizona

“I remember when I first started exploring the idea of franchises and I found the Franchising 101 Podcast. I just got hooked. There were such good snippets of information and I started eating through them and listening to them all the time.”

Geoff, Pennsylvania

“The conversation we had, just on that first call, when you said, ‘Tell more about Ryan, what flips your switch, what gets you out of bed in the morning’… it was really important to me to know those things upfront.”

Ryan, Alabama

“One of the lessons that I learned very quickly was to focus on what is driving you as an individual. What makes you get up, and what do you want to get up and do every day?”

George, Pennsylvania

“If you have questions, if you want answers, or if you’re not sure if it’s for you – there’s no reason not to reach out to FranCoach.”

Michael, Indiana
