Franchise Business Consultant

What is Franchising?

Franchising is a method that allows companies to expand geographically without large capital outlays, and by using independent third parties to do it for you. The franchisor (you) grants a licence to a franchisee giving them the right to operate a business under your name, using your operating systems, methodologies and know how, for a set period of time.  In return the franchisor normally receives an initial licence fee that covers your costs associated with franchising the business, and an ongoing royalty / management services fee by way of a percentage of the franchisees turnover.

Why Franchise?

Franchising provides businesses with the opportunity to expand regionally and nationally for cheaper and quicker than traditional forms of company financed expansion. The Franchise Preference Survey undertaken by the British Franchise Association (Nov 2006), showed that only 23% of those questioned said they would prefer to deal with a non-franchised business compared to a franchised business.
