“I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Kevin Drudge as an exceptional franchise consultant. My journey toward business ownership was transformative, and Kevin was instrumental in guiding me every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise, I am now the proud owner of a franchise that aligns perfectly with my interests, and long-term goals.
From our very first conversation, Kevin demonstrated a deep understanding of the franchise industry and an impressive ability to listen. He took the time to thoroughly understand my unique aspirations and financial situation. This personalized approach ensured that the opportunities he presented were not only well-suited to my preferences but also realistic and achievable.
What truly set Kevin apart was his commitment to providing honest and insightful advice. He never pushed me toward a decision but rather empowered me to make informed choices. He conducted in-depth research on potential franchises, connected me with valuable resources, and even facilitated questions I should consider asking when communicating with Franchisors.
Navigating the complexities of franchising can be daunting, but Kevin made the process seamless. His professionalism, prompt communication, and unwavering support gave me confidence and clarity during a potentially overwhelming time.
I am incredibly grateful for Kevin’s guidance and support. His dedication to my success was evident throughout the process, and I would not have reached this milestone without his help. I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to anyone considering franchise ownership. He is not just a consultant but a trusted partner in the journey toward business ownership.”

“I spent over 40 years in franchising and worked closely with franchise executives in all phases of franchising through my involvement with the IFA. Now retired, I can look back and appreciate that the best person I hired over those 40 years was Kevin Drudge.
Kevin joined Valpak 20 years ago to lead our franchise development effort. His resume showed that he already had a rich history developing his skills, but I had no idea just how valuable he would be. Soon he rewrote our entire fran dev website. Next, I learned how much he also understood the operations side of the business.
When I left Valpak and eventually became the President of one of the Neighborly brand companies, I continued to watch Kevin’s career grow in franchising. His hundreds of contacts in the IFA helped groom him for other leadership positions in franchising.
I watched his kids grow to college age. My wife and I attended the funeral of his wife a couple years ago as Kevin adeptly juggled company leadership with the many challenges of raising teenagers.
We encouraged Kevin as he started Your Franchise Consultants because we know that he offers personal experience, understanding what it is like being an entrepreneur and how to choose a franchise that is a perfect match for each person he works with. We were delighted to learn that his services are free to his clients seeking a franchise fit. The process of choosing a franchise can be very complicated and Kevin does all the heavy lifting for a potential business owner.
Now you can appreciate how much he can help you! ”
