Our Story

Why We Started Galactic Enterprises

We’re not career franchise brokers who’ve never owned a business.
We’re entrepreneurs who just went through the entire franchise acquisition process ourselves — the good, the bad, and the “why didn’t anyone tell us this?” moments. We invested in a Fransurge master franchise territory and are currently developing our first Children’s Salon & Spa location, opening in 2026. We spent months navigating FDDs, financing, site selection, buildout, and franchisor negotiations.

We chose the semi-passive model because we wanted to build equity without sacrificing our existing careers — and it works. Our plan is to operate 5-7 Children’s Salon & Spa locations across Eastern Missouri within the next 10 years, proving that franchise ownership can fit into a balanced life.

Now we help other professionals in Eastern Missouri avoid the pitfalls we discovered and make smarter decisions faster. We combine our backgrounds in sales and service with hands-on franchise ownership experience — right now, in 2026.
Unlike consultants who’ve never signed a lease or hired staff, we’re building alongside you. We know what it actually takes because we’re doing it right now.

Meet the Founders

Laura Carter, MBA

Founder

“Going through franchise due diligence taught us more than any seminar could. We’re passionate about guiding others through what we just learned the hard way.”

Charles Elgart

Co-Founder

“After years in sales and service, I wanted to build equity instead of just earning a paycheck. We chose franchising for the systems and support — now we help others do the same.”
Our Approach

Why Our Model is Different

01

We Pre-Qualify You Before Wasting Your Time

Most brokers send you 50 franchise options hoping something sticks. We have a 10-minute intro call to understand your capital, timeline, and goals — then match you with 2–4 brands that actually fit.

02

We've Been in Your Shoes (Literally This Year)

We’re not career consultants. We just completed our own franchise purchase and are opening our location soon. We know the questions to ask franchisors because we asked them ourselves.

03

Territory

Our Expansion: Children's Salon & Spa

Galactic Enterprises LLC holds the exclusive Fransurge territory for Eastern Missouri. We’re launching our flagship Children’s Salon & Spa location in 2026 and planning to operate 5-7 locations across the region within 10 years.

Why Children’s Salon & Spa? It’s a semi-passive model that lets us build equity while maintaining our existing careers. We’re proving that franchise ownership doesn’t require 60-hour weeks — you can grow a multi-unit empire on your own terms.

Our territory encompasses Camden County (Lake of the Ozarks), Taney County (Branson), Boone County (Columbia), and every county to the east. Whether you’re in downtown St. Louis, the Ozarks, or anywhere in between, our team provides hands-on, in-person franchise advisory support.

Our Expansion: Children's Salon & Spa

When we successfully match you with a franchise and you complete the purchase, we receive a placement fee from the franchisor — typically a percentage of your initial franchise fee. This costs you nothing extra.

Our Expansion: Children's Salon & Spa

  • We only get paid when you find the right fit and move forward
  • You get our services at zero cost
  • We're incentivized to match you correctly (not just quickly)
  • We represent multiple brands, so we match you to the best fit — not the highest commission

Our commitment: We follow FTC guidelines for franchise consulting and prioritize your long-term success over short-term placements. If a franchise isn’t right for you, we’ll tell you — even if it means we don’t get paid.

Our dual role: We’re also Fransurge master franchise owners for Eastern Missouri, which means we’re building our own franchise business while helping you build yours. We have skin in the game.
