What is a Mumbo?
Multi-Unit,
Multi-Brand Operator

A Mumbo runs several units, often across more than one brand. You don't have to get there. But everyone who does bought the first one well.

The search

Hundreds of brands.
You need the few that fit you.

The brand is not the input. You are. So we start with your criteria, then bring you verified brands. The one that fits is rarely the flashiest.

What guidance looks like

The hard part is knowing what to ask

What do I ask a franchisor?

We prep every brand call, so you lead it.

How do I read the disclosure document?

We walk through it item by item until the numbers make sense.

What do current franchisees really think?

We show you how to run validation calls, and what the answers mean.

How do I pay for it?

We map your real budget and the funding routes buyers actually use.

Who will lend to me?

We introduce you to lenders who do franchise deals every day.

What if something feels off?

Bring it to office hours. A second set of eyes before you sign.

Your ten-year picture, worked back into what you do this year.

A Deal Box

The written criteria a brand has to clear before it gets your money.

A funding path

What you can put in, what you can borrow, and who lends to buyers like you.

A verified shortlist

A handful of brands measured against your criteria, worth your calls.

Proof

"It's a beast to tackle on your own … it's just so much easier when there's an expert in the room."

Aaisha B., franchise operator

Aaisha and her husband set out to buy an existing business and kept hitting the same wall: the owners were walking out with the customers. Franchising gave them the proven model without that problem. They built a deal box, worked a list of fifteen brands down to five, and chose the one that matched what their territory needed and what the two of them are actually good at: a home services business in a market with an aging population.

Where everyone starts

The Fit Profile

Useful on its own

Ten minutes on your goals, your money picture, and how you want to work. You get a written profile of the buyer you are. Even if you never join a cohort, you'll search smarter.

The start of the real work

Inside Camp Mumbo, your profile becomes the starting point for your Deal Box: the criteria every brand gets measured against. The profile opens the conversation. The cohort finishes it.

Start the profile Take the profile, walk through it on a 15-minute call, then start with the next cohort.

Questions

What does Camp Mumbo cost?
Nothing. Camp Mumbo is free to attend. Brands compensate us when a buyer succeeds, so you never write us a check.
How long is the program?
Four weeks of core sessions, then the Ride Home: weekly check-ins that continue until you close on a brand. There's no time limit on the Ride Home.
When does the next cohort start?
A new cohort starts every month. Take the Fit Profile, book your 15-minute call, and join the next start date.
How much time does it take each week?
One Monday session of about an hour, plus homework you do on your own schedule. Office hours are there when you get stuck.
Do I need to be ready to buy right now?
No, and most people aren't. Plenty of buyers join while they're still in a job they don't plan to leave until a unit is up and running. The Fit Profile and the first two weeks are built to tell you whether this is your move and when.
Why $50K in liquid capital?
Because below that, most brands worth buying are out of reach, and we would be spending your Mondays on a purchase you can't make yet. Liquid capital is not the total price. Most buyers finance the rest, and week three is about exactly that.
I already own a unit. Is Camp Mumbo for me?
Yes. Some of our buyers are adding a second or third, or a first in a new brand. The criteria work is the same, and the questions get sharper once you know what running one is actually like.
Can I actually get more than one unit where I live?
That depends on the brand and your market. Some are already built out where you live, and you want to know that before you get attached to one. It's a big part of what your criteria are for.
What is the Fit Profile?
A written profile of who you are as a franchise buyer: your goals, your money picture, and how you want to work. It's useful on its own, and if you join Camp Mumbo it's the starting point for your Deal Box and for helping us match you to the brands that best fit you and your goals.
Are you selling me a franchise?
No. We're advisors, not a brand's sales team. We bring you brands we've pre-qualified and verified that fit your criteria, and we guide you through the process. Every decision stays yours.
What if I already have a brand in mind?
Bring it. The Deal Box work will tell you whether that brand holds up against your own criteria, and how it compares to others you haven't seen yet.

The next cohort starts soon.

Ten minutes now tells you whether this is your move.
