About Us

Experience. Insight. The Franchise Guidance You Need.

Are you overwhelmed by the sheer number of franchise opportunities out there? Navigating the process can feel daunting, but that’s where I come in. I’m Jeff Weiss, President of Beacon Franchise Consulting, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Franchising has always been a part of my life—my father was a successful franchisee, and I saw firsthand how business ownership can create both financial and personal freedom. Though I initially built a corporate career in Accounting & Finance with Fortune 500 companies, my entrepreneurial spirit never faded. While working, I earned my MBA in Entrepreneurship, knowing that my true path lay in business ownership.

Taking a leap of faith, I invested in Learning Express Toys, becoming the brand’s second franchisee in Georgia. Over time, I expanded to multiple locations, experiencing firsthand the independence, flexibility, and financial success that franchising can provide. My active involvement in Franchise Advisory Councils and Marketing Committees gave me deep insight into operations from both the franchisee and franchisor perspectives.

After 15 fulfilling years, I sold my businesses and began advising emerging franchise brands and small businesses. That journey led me to my true calling—helping others navigate the franchise landscape. Now, as an award-winning Franchise Consultant, I use my experience to help aspiring franchise owners find the right opportunity—one that aligns with their skills, goals, and lifestyle.

When I was searching for my franchise, I had no idea that Franchise Consultants even existed. Purchasing a franchise is a significant decision, and having an experienced guide can make all the difference. After all, the best way to reach your destination is by learning from someone who has already been there.
