Marilyn R. Imparato

Senior Executive Consultant/Owner
Certified Franchise Consultant

I have extensive experience in Corporate Executive Leadership, Franchise Ownership, Corporate Franchise Operations, and Advisory Consulting Services to prospective Franchise Owners. With over 15 years of direct expertise in the Franchise Industry and having been on all sides of matching businesses and business owners, my approach is holistic based on helping prospective new owners meet their personal, professional, and financial ideals and objectives.

I have personally been in the same position as a prospective new owner, as my first Franchise Ownership was during my tenure and departure from Corporate America as a former Chief Sales Officer in Technology and have been a Semi-Absentee Owner, Owner-Operator and Investor/Absentee Owner over the past 15 years. As a former Executive and Vice President for a Franchisor, I have direct experience with understanding Franchise Models from the culture, support, tools, processes and procedures a Franchisor offers to prospective Franchise Owners.

I have thorough knowledge and understanding of the ramp-up, return on investment, and overall optimal fit for my prospective Franchise Owners. If you are looking to align with a seasoned Franchise Consultant and Subject Matter Expert, I’ve personally placed hundreds prospective Franchise Owners for over the last decade. I will be passionately committed to your best fit and will be with you every step of the way in the due diligence process. AND, most importantly, even think of the things you would not think of during your due diligence process to ensure your success. Feel free to reach out to me to explore your options.
