EDitors NOTE: The Authors of the Report below never responded to our email to assist them. ======================================== Business Alliance Inc, John Tittle, Crooks, Criminals and Con Men - They Stole $19,000 from me Seattle Washington I was introduced to Business Alliance Inc. by a guy (Mike Reis) who called me out of the blue offering the best business in the world. I know my mom told me if it sounds to good to be true, it is. I was very sceptical and asked many questions of this Mr. Reis. He told me that he is a broker and works only referrals from attorneys and cpas. I asked him if I needed experience in sales and he absolutely not, in fact he told me that many successful brokers have had no sales experience at all. I have an accent, being from Nigeria originally, and Mr. Reis told me that people like accents and their would not be a problem selling franchises. He told me I was fully qualified and had me talk to Mr. John Tittle, President of Business Alliance Inc. Mr. Tittle was very slick, I asked how many brokers fail, he said they don''t they only move on to own their own businesses or work for some of the franchise companies represented. I asked to speak with a list of people to verify the information. He gave me a list of 12 brokers, (one I learned used to run the con game, Dan Pretchel before selling to Mr. John Tittle) the list was planted, all of the names were in on the con; they all were very successful, some only working 20 hours a week making $250,000 per year. I asked about leads and they told me that Mr. Pete Casey has more leads than the company can handle. In fact that is the reason Business Alliance Inc. was recruiting. To meet the demand of the leads. I was trained in less than 8 hours, told to read this outdated manual filled with typed errors and unprofessional animated drawings. In reviewing the financials of the company, I found the business dd not make anywhere near the revenue they told me it made. They told me they sold hundreds of franchises, when I asked to speak with a few franchise companies, Mr. John Tittle told me that he did not allow people to harrass his franchise partners. I later learned that Business Alliance Inc. Brokers have a horrible reputation for taking short cuts, not following up and lying to clients. I called every name on the Business Alliance Inc. list of franchises and they told me how many franchises were sold by business alliance brokers. the number was less than 75 franchises combined. This is very interesting in that there are more than 600 brokers in their system. What lies, what a great con job and what a horrible thing to do to those trying to acheive the American Dream. I love this country, but Mr. John Tittle, Mr. Mike Reis and others have me questioning the ethics of this nation. I am calling all Business Alliance Inc. brokers to unite and shut down this unethical, corrupt con job of a business. I am contacting the Attorney General''s office of my state and Washington state. In my country we have a saying, a single pebble can not change the course of a river, but with enough pebbles, a river can be turned. I want this company to stop stealing the dreams and more importantly the money of hard working Americans.

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. Tom Branch, Atlanta, Georgia.

My apology to the Nigerian gentleman who was scammed. This sounds like a real organized crime business scam. I hope that you can put them out of business and I am glad that you told me about this. I am looking for a job and I have friends who are also looking for a job. We might have been conned by this guy and his scam or one just like it if it hadn't been for you reporting this. THANK YOU.
