Franchise candidates talk to Vera and receive a FitScore across financial readiness, operator profile, resilience, lifestyle fit, and market knowledge. This happens before they ever reach your inbox.

02

You browse qualified profiles

Filter by province, score range, and top dimensions. See blind candidate profiles with FitScore data. Only unlock the ones worth pursuing.

03

You connect directly

Spend credits to reveal contact details. Reach out to candidates who are already scored and pre-qualified. No brokers, no middlemen, no commissions per deal.
