Paterson
The Paterson Center franchise enables operators to provide entrepreneurial training, leadership development, and business coaching services using proprietary platforms like LifePlan and StratOp to business owners, executives, and leadership teams. Franchisees deliver these services through structured processes refined over 40 years, including cohort professional development, coaching, and champion training. The business model features tiered memberships (BASIC and SELECT, with Restricted or Unrestricted options) that determine services offered, training levels, and support provided by the franchisor.
