With offices from coast to coast, Schooley Mitchell is North America’s largest independent cost reduction consulting franchise. We have been creating solutions for businesses since 1997 and began growing our franchise base in 2004.
Schooley Mitchell operates in an industry with limited competition, and is the dominant cost reduction consulting solutions provider. We offer a strong value proposition to businesses of all sizes.
The size of our network has given us tremendous influence with suppliers, allowing us to identify and deliver objective solutions to save our clients money.
Our commitment to independence and objectivity is a unique competitive advantage that endears us to our clients.
90% of our initial consultative agreements are cost reduction, contingency billing- based engagements which include a three-year commitment for implementation and ongoing reviews. This provides the basis for a strategic-partnership with the client, while the regular reviews create strong recurrent income and the opportunity for additional consulting opportunities.

Our Concept Is Simple, and Offers a Great Opportunity for Success
• Most businesses spend more than they should on their various business services – up to 35% more.
• Many businesses assume their existing supplier is the best option for service improvements or advice.
• Recent turmoil in these industries has led to confusion and uncertainty.
• Few businesses have the time or the optimal business solutions.
• Schooley Mitchell looks at various business expenses including telecommunications, merchant services, shipping, waste, fuel, and many more.
• We recommend ways to maintain or improve service while reducing costs. The client fee is typically 50% of the savings. This no-risk, contingency-based billing option is very attractive to businesses and non-profits seeking ways to reduce costs.
