Q & A With Nancy Beskar

 

What do you love most about helping people start their own business?

I love seeing people take control of their future. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching someone move from dreaming about business ownership to confidently stepping into that role. Being a part of their journey, offering guidance, and helping them avoid the common pitfalls is incredibly fulfilling. It’s all about empowering them to build something that aligns with their goals and lifestyle.

What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone new to franchising?

Take your time to really understand the business model and the support system that comes with it. Franchising is a partnership, it’s not just about buying into a brand, but also about aligning with a system that supports your growth and success. Ask plenty of questions, and make sure it’s the right fit for both your professional goals and your personal lifestyle.

What’s a hobby or interest you’re passionate about outside of work?

I’m passionate about restoring historic properties. Living in Savannah’s Historic District has fueled my love for architecture and preserving the character of these beautiful old buildings. It’s a creative outlet that combines my entrepreneurial spirit with a love for history. I also enjoy spending time with my Jack Russell Terrier, he keeps life exciting!

How would you describe your consulting style?

I’d say it’s candid yet supportive. I believe in being upfront and providing my clients with a “No Surprises” experience. At the same time, I’m here to encourage and guide them through every step of the process. My style is about balancing honesty with empowerment so that my clients feel prepared and confident as they start this new chapter.

What’s one thing about franchising that excites you?

Franchising offers a proven path to business ownership, but what excites me most is its diversity. There’s a franchise out there for nearly every passion and skill set. Whether someone wants a hands-on business or a semi-passive model, the opportunities are endless. Helping people find a business that aligns with their unique goals is what makes franchising so exciting for me.
