Business Coaching to Help You Choose the Right Franchise or Start the Right Business

Whether you're starting from scratch or investing in a franchise, I’ll help you launch strategically, avoid costly mistakes, and build a business that supports your life — not runs it.

Hey there!

I'M SONIA.

I’ve Done Exactly What You’re About to Do — and I’ll Help You Do It Better

I’m Sonia Mann — a business coach, franchise strategist, and corporate leader who moved from Canada to the U.S. to launch my first franchise.

I know exactly what it feels like to take that leap: new country, new system, big goals, and even bigger decisions.

Using real business strategy — not guesswork — I avoided costly mistakes and grew from first-time franchisee to multi-unit owner. With a background in management consulting (Accenture) and program leadership at Capital Group, I now coach first-time entrepreneurs to make smart decisions, launch confidently, and grow their businesses with systems that actually scale.

Whether you're still deciding between starting a business from scratch or buying a franchise — or you're clear on your path but want help getting it right — I’ll help you:

Choose the right business model (startup or franchise)
Build the right systems and strategies from day one
Increase profitability, streamline operations, and scale confidently

I specialize in helping Canadian and international entrepreneurs launch visa-compatible businesses (E2 and EB-5), select the right franchise fit, or build a business from scratch that supports their life — not runs it.

If you’re ready to move forward with clarity, strategy, and expert support — I’m here to help.

How I Help Entrepreneurs Build the Right Business — and Grow It the Right Way

I work with first-time entrepreneurs who want to launch strategically, grow profitably, and make confident business decisions — especially when the stakes are high.

A Canadian or international entrepreneur looking to invest in the U.S. through an E2 or EB-5 visa
Launching your first business and want expert support from someone who’s done it
Overwhelmed by all the options and want a clear, strategic path forward

Whether you’re starting fresh or investing in an existing brand, I’ll help you build a business that fits your life — not one that takes it over.
