The first step of your franchising journey
You’ve set up (or you manage) a successful business that is now primed for development. You’ve put in the hard work and shown a passion for what you do and there’s an opportunity for you to expand and replicate your success into other geographical areas. It’s time to look at franchising your business. We’d love to have a discussion with you about this.
The Franchise Company has spent the last 25 years transforming businesses, business owners and management teams into successful franchisors, both within the UK and internationally. We are a small firm of specialist franchise consultants and we can use our expertise and knowledge of successfully franchising many different businesses to help you develop into a successful franchise business.
We are proud members of the British Franchise Association, and we will work closely with you to help you develop a franchise model that can transform your existing business into a franchise business with a significant capital value.
Franchising a business is a big step and to do it right you will need to engage experts. There are many such companies who offer support and consultancy, and the ultimate success of your business can depend on getting the right advice. We have developed a systematic approach that looks at all aspects of the business currently and the market opportunity to ensure that our clients end up with the best possible franchise model for their business and market and one that will compete effectively against any existing franchised competition.
The Franchise Company has the knowledge and experience to provide you with the support that you need in all areas of the franchise model development process and then support with the production of the required franchise documentation. We understand the pitfalls when preparing a business for franchising and can help you avoid these. Our advice is straightforward, honest and professional and we always have a long-term vision for the business.
If you are looking to franchise your business then please get in touch and we’d be delighted to have an initial consultation (free of charge and without obligation) and provide you with some initial advice on how to progress your journey.
The Franchise Company Staged Development Approach
With most clients the work we do is carried out in two stages – Stage One is to develop the Franchise Model and Stage Two is the production of the Franchise Documentation required to start the franchising process.
Stage One – Develop the Franchise Model
At the beginning of Stage One we carry out an in-depth business review looking at all aspects of your business – operational and financial and how you currently approach your local markets. We need to understand what makes your business successful at a local level so that we can build these ingredients for success into the franchise model that future franchisees will operate. We carry out market research, competitor analysis and then we produce a detailed financial and operational model for how we believe your franchise model should be structured.
At the end of this stage, we produce a franchise model that’s got the best chance of success and avoid the pitfalls and mistakes that a lot of new franchisors fall into.
Stage Two – Produce the Franchise Documents required
Once the model is developed, we use all of the information that has been produced and include it into the Franchise Documentation materials that you need to be successful in franchising and this includes:
Working Method
We carry out the bulk of the development work producing draft documents for you to review at key stages. This significantly reduces the time that you need to spend working on this.
Fixed Fees – All of our projects are carried out on a fixed fee basis agreed in advance of any work commencing and we encourage all potential clients to speak to a selection of our current and past clients before committing to work with us.
You can google us all as individuals personally and collectively as the business – we don’t have anything to hide – there are no skeletons in our cupboards – you’ll just find us friendly, professional, extremely knowledgeable about franchising and open and honest to work with.
Now you’re ready to franchise!
