Our Franchise
Consultants at How To Franchise provide turn-key franchise development
help to companies wishing to expand their successful businesses.
Franchising is often the perfect growth vehicle for just such a company!
Our Franchise Consulting includes Franchise Advice in the following areas:
Feasibility Study - "Franchise My Business Report" We'll
take a look at your profitability and compare that with similar
franchised operations. Then we will look at a franchisee's ability
to pay your royalty, plus earn a living, with a franchise of your
operation. This study with result in a "go" or "no-go" recommendation.
Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and the Franchise Agreement Together
we will develop the royalty structure and franchise fee. Also,
we will develop territory, training and financial controls to
fit your franchise model. The FTC has very strict rules on what can
and must be presented to prospective franchisees. Following those
guidelines we will develop your FDD and Franchise Agreement.
These documents will be reviewed and approved by our attorney.
These
two documents must also be filed in registration states before
a prospective Franchiser (the company selling franchises) is
permitted, under Federal regulation, to advertise, offer, or attempt
to sell franchises. The FDD explains the details of the franchise
being offered and ensures that buyers will understand the terms of
the relationship.
Franchise Operations Manual
Your Operations Manual will be the basis for the training of
your franchisees. It will also be used by the Franchisees to
refer to during their ongoing operations, as a guideline reminder
on how to run a successful franchise.
Franchise Sales Training Manual
Your Franchise Sales Training Manual will be used to train you and
your staff on the nuances of selling your franchise to interested
buyers. You will learn how to educate the buyers on "Discovery
Day" and close the sale.
Franchise Site Selection Manual
Not all franchises are location dependent. For those that are, we
will develop a Site Selection Manual that takes into consideration
demographic data, competition, and lease & build out consideration.
