Kim Graham works hand in hand with franchisors, business brokers and BeneTrends clients to provide total funding solutions for the life of their business, which include developing 401(k)/IRA business funding solutions while maintaining tax-deferred status and the flagship Rainmaker Plan that allows small business owners to access their qualified retirement funds to invest in their new business.  Some covered topics are franchisor capital requirements and funding options. 

Nancy Lanard's boutique business and franchise law firm represents businesses in the greater Philadelphia area, including Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and Philadelphia Counties from start-up to small publicly traded corporations and every size in-between.  They also represent franchisee and franchisor clients nationwide and review, revise and negotiate commercial leases nationwide on behalf of their business and franchise clients.
