What you can hand over
- Building the franchise system from your unit economics, with no off-the-shelf templates: commercial model, financial model, operations manual, training and prospectus
- Franchise agreements, disclosure documents and master or area development agreements, prepared with franchise law firms it works alongside
- Trade mark registration and watch, coordinated with specialist IP advisers, so the brand is protected in the markets you plan to enter and conflicting marks are flagged for review
- Territory mapping, franchisee profiling and partner search, from single-unit franchisees to master franchisees and area developers
- Franchise marketing that runs franchisee lead generation and consumer campaigns together
- Market entry in the Middle East, North America and Asia through its own teams abroad
- Master franchise structuring, setting out the territory, rights and development commitments a master franchisee takes on
- A standalone franchise documentation audit and review of manuals, training material and prospectuses against how the business runs today
- Ongoing franchisor support once the network is open, to keep standards consistent and franchisees supported
- Brand acquisition for operators, investors and groups looking for a particular type of franchise or a specific brand to bring to their market
