40+ Years of Proven Franchise Growth Strategies
We don’t just consult—we operate 10 franchise brands ourselves. Our experience becomes your shortcut to success.
An Entrepreneur with a Strategy — How It All Began
In 1986, entrepreneur Ray Titus launched his first business, Signarama, with his father Roy Titus in Farmingdale, New York. What started as one location quickly expanded into a powerful franchise brand with over 700 locations worldwide.
That early success laid the foundation for United Franchise Group, a global powerhouse of over 10 brands and 1,600+ franchise locations in more than 60 countries.
But Ray didn’t stop there. His deep, hands-on experience with franchise growth inspired him to launch Accurate Franchising—a consulting firm built by franchisors, for franchisors.
