Is Your Business Suitable For Franchising?

    Many types of businesses from a wide variety of market sectors have been successfully franchised. In essence if you have a successful (profitable) business model, that can be documented and trained to others, so that they can set up a “clone” in another area (or country) – then you have the makings of a successful franchise.

“Franchising – Reproducing Success Over and Over Again”

Of course in reality, it is not quite so simple. When you start to seriously assess if your business is suitable for franchising there are multiple considerations to take into account and if you have never franchised a business before, how can you be sure to cover every area?

Making Your Franchise Assessment Simple

IFMC provide franchise suitability advice to a large number potential franchisors every year. It really couldn’t be simpler to obtain expert franchise advice when considering your businesses franchise potential.

Just pick up the phone, or send us and email...

How Do IFMC Assess Business Franchise Feasibility?

Through a straight forward 4 stage process…
 
  • The first stage is a FREE telephone conversation to cover some initial topics; to check that at the outset the business does appear to be franchisable. If both you and ourselves feel that there is real merit in continuing to evaluate the franchise potential of your business, we would then provide you with a bespoke quotation for a full detailed Feasibility study of the franchise potential.
 
  • Next we would ask that you fill in a detailed fact finding questionnaire, giving us some more detailed background information and email to us.
 
  • Then we would arrange an appointment for you to meet with one of the key business partners for an initial assessment meeting.
 
  • Over a further series of meetings and correspondence would would develop a full picture of your business. Then we combine this information with separate market research and expert franchise system knowledge to produce a detailed feasibility report.
 
Armed with your feasibility report you will have a road map to start building your franchise project on - or a document that warns you not to pursue and make a costly mistake.
