How to Join
Let us show you that with our support, you’ll have more
time, energy, and money to devote to what you care
about most: your business and your clients.
Meet with our Director of
Franchise Sales, Chris Thomason,
to learn more about how we can
support you in acquiring and
building your new firm.
If you decide Padgett could be the right fit for you, we’ll ask you to fill out the Request for Consideration form. We’ll review it along with a background check.
You’ll have an opportunity to
meet with our CEO, Jeff Phillips,
our President, Roger Harris, and
our home office staff in Athens to
dive into the details of our
support and get to know the
people who will be supporting
your new business.
If your Request for
Consideration is accepted,
you’ll then have a chance to
review and sign the Franchise
Disclosure Document (FDD).
We’ll begin the onboarding
process and work with you to
incorporate your history with the
resources Padgett has for the
future. You’ll receive training and
advice from our Home Office and
fellow Padgett firm owners.
If you don’t already own a firm,
we’ll help you identify the right
one to purchase. Working with
Padgett will give the seller
confidence that behind you is a
company with a long history of
success. We’ll also assist with the
transition to Padgett, including
branding, hiring staff and client
communications.
I don't think my office would be as successful as it is if I were not part of a larger network. It's the interaction and the peer relationships I've built and the expertise I get from home office that has helped me be successful.
Dave Gribben, owner of Padgett Barrington
