EDitors NOTE: The Authors of the Report below never responded to our email to assist them. ======================================== Business Alliance - John Tittle (CEO) Cons More Honest People/Destroys Dreams and Causes Foreclosure Seattle Washington I bought into the dream of being a Business Alliance Affiliate 2 years ago. I spent my $20,000 expecting to have a solid business to earn the type of income I was accustomed to earning as an executive at a major corporation. I went thur training with a trainor that was not affiliated with the company, but rather a salesman in Atlanta, GA-Dan Prechtel. I found out that he used to own the company but sold it when people were starting to catch on to his original scheme of stealing people''s money, selling a dream of easy money in the franchise industry and then never answering the phone to provide help once the check cleared. I worked the business 75 hours per week buying leads from Pete Casey every month. I spent more than $40,000 before closing one sale. Last year I closed 4 sales earning $47,500; however I spent $40,000 in leads and other promotions recommended by John Tittle and others to get their. I made $7,500 dollars last year in this business, however everyone on their list of successful brokers were telling me that they made up to $500,000 a year working 20 hours a week. I know now this is one of the biggest skemes run state to state in the country today. I was never afforded the opportunity to talk to other brokers who did not make because John Tittle told me there were only less than 10% who left being an affiliate. The reason they left was to either buy a franchise or work as a consultant for a franchise. I have contacted the states Attorney General''s Office for the state I am in and will be contacting the states for WA, GA and beyond. When I confronted Business Alliance Inc. about this, I was told to buy more leads from Pete Casey and they would help me close more deals. The leads I purchased from Pete Casey were worthless, and I have come to find out that Business Alliance pays Pete Casey to sell leads multiple times to all new Business Alliance Inc. Brokers. The other brokers would never purchase from them. Business Alliance fully endorsed Pete Casey''s program and continues the lying even as I write this report. Just two days ago Business Alliance Inc. sent an email to my home office telling me that leads from Pete Casey are better and more plentiful than ever. I have also learned that business Alliance has had more than 600 affiliates go thru their skeme. 90% fail because of their lack of support, lack of selection criteria (seems they pick anyone with a check) and inability to allow affiliate to communicate freely with each other to work the business with synergy. They know that the more we find out about the skeme, the more will go the their State''s Attorney General''s office. This must stop. Do not waste your money like I did and lose my house. My family has depended upon my income and with Business Alliance promising their program and training works, I trusted them to the end of my financial resources. Lies do have consequences John Tittle, Dan Prechtel, Pete Casey, Mike Reis. My family is now out of a home and all retirement resources not solely because of you, but because of your lies that kept me trusting in this system. I want my money back now.

I am a franchise attorney in Atlanta and, while I do not currently represent Business Alliance, I have worked professionally with both Mike and Dan, and am very familiar with Business Alliance. Business Alliance has been around for many years, and many of its brokers do very well. I know that many reputable franchises sell through Business Alliance, including some of my franchisor clients. Unfortunately, in every business there are people who do not follow the system and then blame others instead of taking responsibility themselves. It is actually very impressive that there are so few complaints, considering that the company and these individuals have been in business for so many years. In fact, there are actually no valid complaints against them, because we have learned that the reports on this site have been fabricated by one of the competitors to try to discredit them, since they have been unable to successfully compete against them. Lastly, I know Dan and Mike to be men of integrity and know that they are both very experienced in the field of franchising. I did not want the negative posting to go unanswered and wanted to give my heartfelt endorsement of Mike and Dan, as well as Business Alliance.
