Franchise-Ease is led by franchise veteran Bill Collins, who brings 16 years of experience in helping create, launch, and grow more than 15 franchises, including Little Caesars, Madison Reed, The Lash Lounge and Title Boxing Club.

Bill grew up in an entrepreneurial household and began honing his business skills early by starting his first venture while still in grade school.  Bill created multiple companies through high school and found himself busy with playing football on Friday nights and “spinning tunes” as a DJ on Saturdays.

Upon graduation, Bill attended the University of Michigan, following in the footsteps of his mother and father.  While a sophomore, Bill partnered with a fraternity brother to launch a very successful fundraiser for the American Heart Association.  Bill and his fraternity brothers ran the game-ball from Michigan stadium to the horse-shoe in Columbus, OH for the classic Michigan-Ohio State football game. 

Bill has become a career entrepreneur with more than 35 years spent running his own businesses.  Bill’s many accomplishments include being selected twice to appear in Inc. Magazine for building one of the 500 Fastest Growing Privately Held Companies In America.

Bill believes that what separates him from other franchise advisors, and how he brings great value to his clients, is that he has both walked in their shoes as a business owner and he has been on the franchisor’s “side of the fence”. 

“As a business owner, I understand the excitement, fear, and stress a new franchise owner goes through.  I also know, first hand, how to navigate efficiently and effectively through the franchise system, saving my clients time, money and frustration.”

Bill was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan and continues to live in the area with his wife Sarah.  Together they have 5 children and 3 grandchildren.  In his spare time, Bill enjoys playing hockey, relaxing with family and cooking.
