February 15, 2008 - Omaha, Neb – Each year thousands of entrepreneurs begin their search for the perfect franchise opportunity online. Theirs is a quest for information, often foiled by a deluge of advertisements, flashing icons and other cookie-cutter clutter. A new online directory, FranchiseLoop, is attempting to break the mold.

“Franchising is about connecting business people with opportunities,” Franchise Loop President Luke Armstrong said. “Both potential franchisees and the franchisors need access to a professionally-organized network to begin to connect with each other. That’s what we aim to provide with The Loop.”

Visitors will find an easy-to-use search feature to get them started. They will also be able to access short industry reports on each franchise category to help narrow their field of interest and provide directions to more in-depth statistical information. Informative articles on franchising and the franchise industry help untangle the confusion of starting a new business. The Loop also makes it easy to request additional information from franchising companies while protecting consumer privacy.

Franchise companies have access to a free listing on the site and can pay for additional upgrades. Leads are triple-verified to ensure quality and value. Advertisers have access to site statistics and past lead information as well as the ability to edit their listings at any time. Press releases from our franchise partners are syndicated free of charge. A professional staff editor is available for advice or rewrites.

“Franchising is a serious business bent on attracting professional people with the dedication and determination to make the franchise a success,” Armstrong said. “They deserve access to a professional directory without a lot of flashy gimmicks distracting them from the next step. That’s our goal with the Loop.
