The franchisor referral network

The candidates you turn away are another franchisor's next signing.

ORBIT is a referral network for franchisors. When a qualified candidate isn't right for your brand, you pass them to ORBIT. When they sign with another member, your company is paid a flat referral fee.

A territory sells once. Don't waste the extra candidates. Refer them through ORBIT.
