Ford R. Myers is President of The Franchise Alliance, LLC. Since 1983, he has been providing professional services in business development and entrepreneurial consulting. In his own business, and in senior management positions with prominent consulting firms, Ford has helped thousands of businesses and individuals achieve success.
As Vice President and Director of Professional Services for a global consulting firm, one of Ford's primary responsibilities was to lead an entrepreneurship program that covered every small business option, including franchising. As he became increasingly excited about the obvious advantages of franchising, Ford shifted his focus to franchising and established The Franchise Alliance. His company assists clients in identifying and acquiring franchises that will help them reach their business and lifestyle goals.
