When Denny’s decided to re-enter the international franchise market, we could have created a new international development department. Instead, we hired EGS with an experienced and successful international team in the US with staff on the ground around the world to find, evaluate and sign area licenses.

In franchising there are countless professionals and a rare few experts. Bill Edwards is truly both. His expertise is why he and his team are always my first referrals for international expansion, and it is why his clients are so successful.
Mary Ann O’Connell, CFECEO of FranWise
I never thought that when we interviewed EGS in January that I would be going to Japan to sign a master franchise in the same year. Wow, your whole team ROCKS!! Couldn’t have done it without you, but I guess you know that.
Founder of a women’s fitness and weight loss franchise
Great job. Really great job!! Your help, guidance and negotiating skill really paid off. I appreciate working with you as we take our company international. It is going to be an interesting couple of years, but we couldn’t have found a more dedicated ‘consultant” to help us succeed.
