What is a franchise consultant?
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 Franchisor (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.
Other Franchise Help - Optional Add-On Services
Our Franchise Consultants can provide these "Optional Add-On
Services":
Franchise Registration:
There are 14 "Registration States" that
require specific approval prior to selling a franchise in that state.
We can provide registration services for any of these states. Typically,
this service costs approximately $1,500 (including the state fee)
per state. Naturally, you could handle this registration process
yourself, but we find it goes a lot smoother and faster with us handling
the process.
Franchise Training:
We will be happy to visit your location and
train your staff on "How To Sell Your Franchise". This service
is charged on an expense plus $500 per day basis.
Trademark Services:
All clients will want to trademark their name!
We can provide this trademark filing, if desired. Our trademark attorney offers a
full range of legal services related to trademarks and service
marks, including selection, registration, protection, enforcement,
licensing and transfers of marks, trade names and internet domain
names.
Marketing Materials:
Our team can design brochures, pamphlets,
sales sheets, postcards, promotional items, or virtually anything
you may want or need to promote your franchise. We will come
up with a custom price for your project.
Website Design and Optimization:
First impressions can make a
sale. Don't settle for second-class design based on budget constraints.
Our team can start on the design of your logo or website for
your franchise today...at very affordable prices.
After that,
we can help you with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which drives
