Introduction
As a small business Franchise Options truly understands the demands of growing a business through its network and then managing a network of franchisees who are not employees-the look and the feel of these businesses are different but all have the same goals of business growth and profitability together with robust brand standards.
Most businesses believe they have a unique opportunity so we believe in total honesty with our clients whilst also recognising that the standard business franchise format can be pretty inflexible for the 21st Century.
So we can adapt and tweak the “Franchise Tool Box” in line with a client’s brand and aspirations
Strategy
The development of a Feasibility and Viability Study, including an analysis of-
The business’s current operations and capacity towards the development of new networks
A complete Market Research Review
Recommendations for the development of the network
Business Planning
Franchise Options will model options for network development including
Franchisor Model
Franchisee Model
Incorporating a franchise roll-out plan based on a number of potential scenarios
Franchise Structuring
Franchisee Support-we will identify the type and scope of services to be given to the franchise network
Internal staffing-making recommendations for structuring the right internal team as well as identifying key profiles
Operations
Operations Manuals and Guidelines-we firmly believe that the best process to create a suite of Operations Manuals is to “partner” with key personnel within the franchisor team guiding the contents, style of manuals, language used
Franchise Recruitment Processes and Documentation
Legal
Whilst we are NOT lawyers, we do know our way around a Franchise Agreement (both UK and International) and have worked with the very best of lawyers across the world.
We can work with your existing lawyers or introduce you to our network, shortcutting the legal structuring process whilst ensuring that the Franchise Agreement is in line with the network’s operational goals e.g. cross referenced to operational procedures
The Franchise Agreements will reflect the style of operation e.g. Unit Franchisee, Master Franchisee, Area Developer
It’s also not just about the Franchise Agreement and should include all necessary Non Disclosure documentation as well as conforming to local regulations.
Sales and Marketing
We will work with our clients to ensure that we have in place
Franchise Marketing Plan
Franchise Marketing Collaterals
Franchise Sales Procedure and documentation
Franchise Recruitment Process
Training
We can ensure that our clients develop a robust Training Programme.
We also firmly believe that key departments within the Franchisor’s organisation need/must understand the new network relationship and so can develop a programme of communication that engages the management team in franchising so as to open up the essential concepts of a Franchise operation.
Franchise Healthcheck
We are often asked by existing Franchisors to go in and discuss key issues within the network that are impacting upon growth, profitability and very importantly brand integrity.
An “external view” is often an easy answer to issues within a network especially when everyone is “head down” on the symptoms of the issues.
