Jeff is very knowledgeable, takes pride in his work and really has your best interest at heart. He took the time to explain everything in language I could understand. I now have more confidence in knowing what I am getting into. I would definitely recommend Jeff.

The best money we spent in analyzing our franchise opportunity by a long shot. The advice was practical and sound. I would recommend Jeff Wheelock to any person that is evaluating a franchise opportunity and implore them that his review of the franchise documents is a critical part of the due diligence process.
