Furthermore, many of those brands have outperformed industry “norms” with help from our franchise consultants.

We can deliver any size of licensing project or franchising assignment. Our regional offices offer a local presence in 10 regions of the UK from a pop up consultancy in Edinburgh and permanent offices from Newcastle down to Exeter and everywhere in between.

Franchise Consultants

There are considerable benefits to using franchise consultants for anyone looking to create a franchise system. There are over 1000 franchise brands in the UK resulting in over 45,000 franchised units between them.

The number of franchise opportunities is on the increase as a result of this growth. The role of franchise consultants is to provide inside expert advice and strategic input to create franchise systems and optimise existing franchise networks. Our experience and connections within the franchising industry provides the resources you will need to successfully realise your franchise objectives.

Invaluable guidance every step of the way

Our franchise consultants provide expert advice to potential franchisees too in contrast to many other firms. We can help you to build a sound business plan which matches your skill set to the ideal franchise systems you could join.

It is proven that one of the single most important elements to success in the world of franchising is to match the right business with the skill set of the franchisee. Consequently, our clients generally do better by getting the match right. As expert franchise consultants, we ensure that every franchise opportunity is pre-screened. This means we can properly assess if that franchise brand matches your criteria, investment, work life balance etc. Also of course if it is in a market that genuinely interests you.
