An experienced business executive, Paul Eckert used his decades of experience in franchising, business management, and entrepreneurship to foresee the needs of owners in the money service industry. After using the Family Financial Centers franchise model to address their most obvious needs, compliance, process management and bank relationships, he then leveraged his personal experience dealing specifically with franchisees and independent financial service center business owners to address three more vital needs – legal assistance, insurance, and selling their business when the times comes. Thus, he created attorney operated Legal and Mediation Services, Family Partners Insurance, and established a division of Family Financial Centers which focuses on providing an exit strategy for owners looking for a cost-effective way to sell their business. The Eckert Group leverages decades of industry credibility established by Paul and Family Financial Centers to position and market an overall business package for owners of money service businesses. The package includes compliance, bank relationships, process & vendor relationships (FFC), P&C insurance including General Liability, Crime and Fidelity packages (FPI), legal services (LS for independents only), and business sales assistance.
