Meet Our Founder, John Power
John Power, founder of Biltmore Franchise Consulting, has extensive experience developing and marketing businesses and business opportunities. He has been in and around franchising for over twenty years.
In the late 1970’s he developed, franchised, and sold retail consumer home video outlets under the name of Superior Electronics. From 2000 to 2005 he worked as a contract marketing and human resources consultant to several local and national technology companies. In 2005 Mr. Power began working as a franchise development consultant on a full-time basis. Since that time he has helped over 30 companies initiate and develop their franchising program. He notes that franchising is a very good way to expand regionally, nationally and internationally, that there is interest in purchasing franchise opportunities, and that there is a need for an economical franchise development program. There are many companies whose owners are interested in developing a franchise program, but who need specialized assistance. He applies his experience and skills to help new franchisors realize the accelerated growth and profitability that is available through franchising. Mr. Power owns and manages a successful and rapidly growing franchise development and sales consulting firm, providing personalized service and attention to each client. He has clients across the country, from Seattle to Orlando, and in between. He is also a successful instructor and teacher of the franchising industry and franchising principles, and presents training sessions for both new franchise brokers and employees of franchise companies.
He is a “hands-on” franchise consultant, and does not merely coordinate the activities of others; he is intensively involved in each franchise project that he undertakes. He said, “I am the ‘nuts and bolts’ person who puts this all together for my clients.” Mr. Power holds a B.S. degree with a major in Marketing.

From 1980 through 1990 he conceptualized, organized, and developed the American Video Association. He considered turning this into a franchise organization, and thoroughly studied the possibility, but ultimately elected to structure it as a privately owned buying group supported by membership dues. He grew AVA to 2,000 national members, before selling the company in 1990. It was later merged into another home video marketing company.
A number of the Biltmore Franchise Consulting franchise development clients asked Mr. Power to begin offering and selling their concepts. As a result, the Biltmore Franchise broker services program was initiated. Biltmore now offers broker sales services to all franchisors, and is building a network of trained franchise brokers to help franchisors in their sales programs. By offering a premium broker sales program, coupled with the SOLUTNS for Franchisors savings programs, Mr. Power has created a "must-have" and powerful combination of franchisor sales services.
