Why Brian
Franchise Guidance from Someone Who Has Actually Done It
Brian Braggs isn't a career consultant. He's an entrepreneur, a franchise owner, a healthcare executive, and a U.S. Army veteran who built two businesses from zero — and now helps others do the same.
Built It. Operated It.
Now I Help Others Navigate It.
Franchise consultant, former franchise owner, healthcare entrepreneur and U.S. Army veteran with more than 20 years of business-building experience.

The Track Record
What sets Brian apart
Years of Business Ownership
Two decades building and operating healthcare businesses in Illinois. Brian has navigated every stage of business ownership — startup, growth, compliance, staffing, and exit — and brings that lived experience to every client conversation.
Healthcare Companies Built From Zero
Shining Star Therapy (17 years, 17 Illinois counties, 30+ staff) and Right at Home Peoria — both started with no clients, no employees, and no roadmap. Brian knows what it takes to build something real.
Home Care Franchise Revenue
Grew Right at Home Peoria to $1M+ annual revenue with 18.7% year-over-year growth. Earned a national VA contract and back-to-back Best of Home Care awards.
U.S. Army Veteran
Military service instilled the discipline, systems thinking, and leadership under pressure that define every business Brian has built. He understands the veteran mindset — and the unique advantages veterans bring to franchise ownership.
Healthcare Executive
Deep operational expertise in compliance, caregiver workforce management, payroll, HR systems, and healthcare technology. Brian has evaluated and implemented the platforms that run real healthcare businesses.
Independent Franchise Guidance
Brian is an IFPG-certified franchise consultant who works for you — not the franchisor. No quotas, no pressure, no hidden agenda. His only goal is to help you find the right fit.
What You Get
The Brian Braggs difference
Most franchise consultants have never owned a franchise. Brian has. He's navigated the FDD, built the team, managed the compliance, and grown the revenue. That experience changes every conversation.
Brian's Philosophy
"I don't sell franchises. I help people make one of the most important financial decisions of their lives — with clarity, confidence, and the full picture in front of them."
Brian's consulting is free to you. He's compensated by the franchisor only if you move forward — which means he has every incentive to find you the right fit, not just any fit.
