riterium Engineers was created for licensed Professional Engineers who want to run their own consulting business. Engineers open a Criterium office for:

Increased financial opportunity. We give you the tools to be successful; the profits are yours.

Ability to do things your way without making the mistakes that small business owners commonly make.

Chance to affect people's lives in a positive way.

Challenge of creating and building something new.

Opportunity to build equity in a business that can be sold someday. Your own business becomes a retirement plan or a source of capital for your next venture.

"I decided to start my own business for the financial gain, security, and pride of ownership in one's work. With my own business, there is excitement at the end of the day."  George Risha, P.E.

Criterium Engineers is for those who like field work and like to have a direct effect on peoples' lives. Few engineers have the opportunity to work one-on-one with the end user of their service. We at Criterium do, helping people make informed decisions, saving them money, and sometimes even saving their lives.

"The most satisfying aspect of the business has been providing a service that is very desired by clients - one that is not reasonably available elsewhere."  Bob Fennema, P.E.

The franchise business structure is an ideal way for doing business in the '90s and beyond. It gives you, the business owner, the resources and ability to operate as a large firm with the flexibility and low overhead of a small one. The guidance provided by Criterium Engineers allows you to make decisions quickly and confidently in an uncertain future.

"When I have occasionally been called by prospective franchisees, the one attribute I always mention is the uncompromising integrity of the organization and its people. To me, this is the most important of all."  JohnMcClancy,P.E.
