Today we’d like to introduce you to Hossein Kasmai.
Hossein, as an electrical engineer was an executive at Motorola for many years, leading a team of engineers in developing high tech pagers and later mobile phones. He left Motorola in late 90’s and started a high tech communication company named Infopage, providing wireless products used for transmitting messages to LED signs and TV sets in restaurants, hotels and airports. His company grew exponentially and within one year after inception, it was acquired by a large wireless firm.
As an entrepreneur, next, he developed a complex hardware/software system to capture a child’s electronic fingerprints, photo and other information needed by the police in order to aid in finding a missing child. The service was offered to parents in schools and day cares in Miami. Quickly after launch, he franchised Guard-A-Kid and began offering franchises to those who wanted to start a similar business in their area. His business quickly grew to be ranked as the leading franchise in it’s industry, while being ranked consistently among the top 500 franchises and the fastest growing franchises in the nation.
By 2010, only five years after it initial launch, the company expanded to over 175 franchises in 11 countries worldwide. Guard-A-Kid was acquired in 2010 by an investment firm.
After the rapid success with Guard-A-Kid as a franchise, he quickly became recognized as a franchise expert and was approached by many companies that requested his advice on franchising their business. In 2011, he founded Franchise Creator, providing franchise consulting services to companies nationwide. Hossein is currently the CEO of Franchise Creator and along with his team of experienced franchise consultants works with business owners who wish to expand their business nationwide through franchising. By providing a free initial franchisability assessment, the team at Franchise Creator can determine if a business is ready to be converted into a franchise operation. Franchise Creator has quickly grown to multiple offices throughout the nation, with more offices opening each month. Franchise Creator has now franchised tens of businesses throughout the country and has helped them grow from one or two locations into tens of locations nationwide (and worldwide in some cases). After franchising a business, Franchise Creator helps sells franchises for that business. He is considered an expert in the franchise industry and also acts a business adviser to many recognized brands.
Hossein and his companies have been featured multiple times in articles in recognized publications and news outlets including Entrepreneur Magazine, NBC News, CBS News, Franchise Times Magazine, Specialty Retail Magazine, Opportunity World Magazine, INC Magazine, The Miami Herald, Des Moines Register and more.
Has it been a smooth road?
Being an entrepreneur and running businesses is never a smooth road. I have always been very selective about the employees that I hire. I recognize that employees represent the brand and the company. My biggest struggle when I first started Franchise Creator, was finding the right team. Franchising is a very unique field and finding consultants who truly understand franchising is not an easy task. It took a few changes before I was able to find the perfect team of employees which I have now.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Franchise Creator story. Tell us more about the business.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
Franchising has seen the fastest growth in the last decade. More and more businesses are selecting franchising as their preferred method of growth. Franchising adds a significant increase to the valuation of a business and therefore many business owners select to franchise their business, grow it and then have an exit.
