Charter Franchise Group Goes National

March 31, 2009 (Houston, TX)—Seaboard Franchise Services Company, now Charter Franchise Group, has not only changed their name but also their scope. Charter is now developing franchises on a nationwide level, working closely on numerous multi-unit transactions with area developers.

“A lot of people who have left their corporate jobs are looking at the success of the franchise business model,” explained Keith Hudson, president and CEO of Charter Franchise Group. “Plus the stimulus package has funneled a lot of money through the SBA (Small Business Administration). The combination of access to funds—especially for multi-unit operators—and more mature entrepreneurs with business experience means that the overall trend is looking up for franchising. Franchising accounts for one in every seven jobs—with every store creating 7-12 new jobs—and over $1 trillion in revenue annually in the U.S. Now, that’s a stimulus package!”

Charter Franchise Group is a full service firm with the expertise, leadership, and extensive network nationwide to help both franchisors and franchisees from concept development, franchise set-up, legal and financial requirements, construction, administration, operations, marketing and sales.
