A Team of Franchise Experts Showing Franchisors (Yes, You) How to Achieve Your Biggest Goals

Hmmm… how to describe our team? We are big fans of franchising, focused on achieving results, all about community, obsessed with spreadsheets, and have a deep love for rooftop patios.

We are all franchise experts (former franchisors, franchisees, field coaches, and business owners) who align on the mission of changing the franchise industry for the better by helping franchisors scale strategically, franchise ethically, and make the journey FUN.

It All Started With Kelly Kabob

Angela Cote (our fearless leader) has never NOT been in franchising. She has experience on the franchisor side, as a multi-unit franchisee, and as a field coach.

Her dad founded the iconic Canadian Franchise brand M&M Food Markets and she grew up in the franchise space (she even dressed up as Kelly Kabob as a kid at grand openings).

From her life in franchising, Angela learned that strategic, ethical franchising means having specific frameworks and systems in place to optimize profitability. She founded AC Inc. to bring these systems and frameworks to help more franchisors succeed.

The AC Inc Core Values (We’re Kind of Obsessed with Our Core Values)

When you show up as your truest, most awesome self, you attract the right kind of people into your personal and professional life. So strut your superpowers and don’t hold back!

Think Big, Act Big! You are what you believe you are. Nothing more. Nothing less.

To get through roadblocks and rough patches we simply put our can-do attitude into high gear and say: “We’ve got this!”

The best way to make a real difference in someone’s life and/or business is to genuinely care about them. Listen to them. Understand their vision. On this team, we really care about our mission and the people we serve.

Lighten up! Laugh! Live in the moment! Around here, getting a little silly sometimes is a non-negotiable that we cherish because it results in higher productivity.

In order to achieve our goals we know we need to stop thinking about them and take action! We don’t let ourselves overthink our actions because we believe doing SOMETHING is better than NOTHING and by DOING we will get clarity.
