How we help you to Franchise or License your business
posted on Friday, December 18th, 2009
There are some who claim they can franchise anything and in most cases this is indeed possible, if you are willing to take fees to produce something that will not work.
At Next Level, our work in this area is based on solid experience which includes:
• Bringing a USA franchise to the UK in the early 80s.
• Franchising two of my own businesses, both from start up, taking one international.
• Being the lead consultant to a major PLC when they brought out a new High Street franchise in the early 90s.
• Working with a variety of businesses to help them set up a franchise or license programme for all or part of their business model.
This contrasts sharply with some franchise consultants who are themselves franchisees who have been trained in franchising but have never done it for their own business, have never sold franchises or recruited or trained franchisees and have never run a franchise network.
We take you through all the issues involved and because we Mentor you to franchise or license your business, our fees are lower but you are involved in every stage and you understand what is being done and why. This means that when you come to recruit franchisees and run your franchise, you understand what you are doing.
