Once You Are 'Franchised'

With the completion of your franchise system and the granting of your first franchises you will face a new role in business.  Managing the relationships as well as the business can, at times, be challenging.

Your 'family' of Franchisees will also be working hard to comply with all of the things that are new to them as well as running their new business.  This environment for both of you is at times tense and will require a firm, decisive and yet consultative stance in respect to operational and policy development issues.

In the past, and still today, we have found that our services are valuable to clients well beyond the completion of the project to initially develop and document their business system.

We provide a Franchise Coach Service that can be tailored to suit your specific circumstances and needs.  Typically, we are a 'sounding board' for issues relating to the process of recruiting Franchisees or the further development of your group and some operational/policy matters. With extensive experience in the sector we are a valuable resource and we believe it is important that you are able to tap into this resource - it could save you time and unnecessary stress; as well as money. It is not expensive and we value the ongoing relationship considerably by becoming a part of your team.

At times the relationship between Franchisor and Franchisee can become difficult.  Managing the resolution of these difficulties is the difference between a good Franchisor and one who struggles.

Both parties are in business (independently and yet together), and this relationship must be respected for that reason alone.  Rights and obligations are spelled out in the franchise agreement, however it is wise to manage any issues to resolution rather than simply rely on the clinical written words in the contract.

As your franchise matures you will identify issues that may require some amendment to the original operational methods.  This, too, will require your best management skills to see the continuing evolution of the business passed on to all in the system, both effectively and without undue interruption to operations.

In certain circumstances, we may be in a position to assist in some aspects of the daily management of your new business, should our skills and capacity match your needs.

We can help with all of these issues, thereby making your task of building a sound and profitable business that much easier, and enjoyable.
