I looked into this company and business opportunity quite thoroughly(I am a person who has owned 2 companies and sold both at substantial gain)and I must agree with the complainant that it is a scam to get your $19,900 check. The names on their so-called referral list of counselors they give perspective investors appear to be plants. When talking to these people on the list they all seem to be selling you on investing with the companyand sing a universal tale about how they all are making multi-six figure incomes. However, when you try to pin them down on what franchisors they work with mostly, they are alarmingly evasive. In truth most of the names on the list don't have listed phone numbers in their local directory. When talking to many large franchise companies,100% of them either told me they never had heard or done business with Business Alliance inc. or the few that had told me to be very careful and that Business Alliance Inc. is not an organization they would do any business with. The gentleman who claims to be a franchise attorney "not affiliated" with Business Alliance inc. but staunchly supports them on all the complaints on the web appears also to be a company plant. Why else would a supposed attorney with no connection to the company be searching web sites for complaints against Business Alliance inc.and responding like a company shill? Contrarily I have no axe to grind against this company since I did my due dilligence and did not lose 1 nickel and have no qualms putting my ph# of 952-974-0996 or email address of [email protected] if anyone wants to contact me to learn more about what else my investigation of Business Alliance, inc. turned up.

Please disregard the other rebuttals I filed under this report. I was new to this system, and they were partial responses that were filed by mistake. Below is the complete response. 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.
