Altius Franchise Group

Raising the Standard of Franchising.

Altius Franchise Group is the parent company behind Franchise Grade, FranOvation and Franchise Fix. One integrated ecosystem for the whole franchise community.

Altius: higher, elevated.

The name Altius comes from Latin, meaning higher or elevated. It reflects our belief that great franchise systems are built by raising the standard for how franchisors and franchisees work together. At Altius Franchise Group, we are focused on elevating performance, improving alignment, and helping franchise brands grow with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence.

Our approach

Altius Franchise Group was built to strengthen the relationship between franchisors and franchisees and to help franchise systems perform at a higher level.

We work with franchise brands that want to grow intelligently, operate more efficiently, and create stronger alignment across their system. By combining practical franchise expertise, modern technology, and proven business discipline, we help clients streamline processes, improve communication, strengthen execution, and build a more scalable foundation for growth.

Our approach is grounded in a simple idea: franchise growth is strongest when both franchisors and franchisees are equipped to succeed. That requires more than ambition. It requires the right systems, the right support, the right data, and the right strategy.

At Altius, we help franchise organizations close the gap between vision and execution so they can grow with greater speed, consistency, and long term sustainability.

Our offices

Rooted in History. Built for the Future.

Canada

St. Catharines, Ontario

39 Queen Street, St. Catharines

Our Canadian office occupies the historic Dominion Building, dating to the late 19th century. Originally associated with the Bank of Toronto and later Dominion Bank, the building has long been part of downtown St. Catharines’ business heritage.

The address is especially meaningful to our founder, who spent much of her childhood in St. Catharines, playing in Montebello Park and enjoying the city’s rich culture and community spirit.

United States

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

2598 E. Sunrise Blvd., Suite 2104, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304

Our Fort Lauderdale office represents the next chapter of our growth. We chose South Florida for its international connections, entrepreneurial energy and access to global markets.

Known as the Venice of America, Fort Lauderdale is famous for its waterways, luxury yachts and prestigious waterfront, including the area often called Millionaires’ Row.

Fun fact: St. Catharines was once home to Harriet Tubman, who helped freedom seekers find safety through the Underground Railroad.

Two offices. Two countries. One shared vision for the future.
