We Believe…
..that when running a business, you should always have the end in mind. A lot of our programmes are therefore built around providing a “business SatNav” to help the owners identify where they are now, where they want to get to and by when. We can then help them plot a route to success; ensuring that they always know what is round the next corner and that they have sufficient cash to “fuel” their business journey.
Whether you are a Franchisee, a Franchisor or someone new to Franchising, the likelihood is that Franchise Business Training and Consultancy will be able to speed up the progress of your business journey, help you learn new skills along the way and enable you to move into the fast lane towards success.
We talk the language of successful businesses.
We have delivered training and business consultancy to people from the largest and fastest growing franchise brands, including programmes to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.
For brands entering the UK market, our team are ideally placed to “anglicise” your training and on-boarding programmes.
We have walked in your shoes.
All of our trainers and consultants have financial services backgrounds, with the majority having successfully run their own businesses, and therefore have real-life experience. They have a working knowledge of what it takes to make a business a success so, as well as understanding the theory, they can also draw on endless practical examples to bring a discussion to life.
We are a truly national business.
Our elite team of trainers and consultants are geographically spread across the UK and which means we have a collective understanding of the issues facing business owners regionally, as well as nationally. It also means that we can offer in-person training delivery at facilities across the country.

Business Health checks covering financial and non-financial aspects of business management.
