Course Overview
Course Description
This curriculum provides a structured educational framework for teaching the complete
credit-to-franchise-ownership pipeline. Students learn to build credit from zero (with or without
an authorized user), access $200,000--$460,000+ in 0% APR capital through the Mass Apply,
research franchise opportunities using UpFlip and the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD),
fund and launch a franchise, and build toward multi-unit ownership through the Flywheel
strategy. The course is designed so that every student can follow the path regardless of their
starting financial position.
