ABOUT US

  • The Entrepreneur Option (TEO) was established in 2008 to help people find a low-risk path to business ownership.

    Everybody knows the rewards of business ownership, including

    • Higher income
    • Control over your future
    • Independence
    • A flexible schedule

  • But few people make the move from a corporate employee to entrepreneur. Why not? Overwhelmingly, people hesitate to pursue the benefits of business ownership because they perceive risk.

    We are experts in how to obtain the benefits of proven, top-performing franchises to help you become a successful business owner - without accepting too much risk.

  • Our mission at TEO is to help people who are in career transition, whether intentional or not, or those looking for an investment for the future … and those just exploring their options. Our number one goal is to help you determine if business ownership is right for you and, if so, what type of business would lead to success for you. It’s as simple as that! No pressure. No obligation.

    Explore your options. Discover your path!
