Real experience, not theory.

We took our own business from one location to a UK-wide franchise network, winning the British Franchise Association’s Emerging Franchisor Award along the way, and have built more than 20 franchise brands since. So we don’t advise from the sidelines. We become part of your team and do the work alongside you, until your franchise grows.

“Martin and Julie actually know their stuff: they’ve built franchises themselves, not just advised on them.”

We recently worked with Martin at Familia to develop Eagle Bay’s franchise blueprint, covering everything from market potential and the legal framework to the commercial model, franchisee recruitment, investment costs and our operations manual. Martin provided excellent franchise advice while also helping us think more broadly and critically about our business model. He took the time to visit us twice in person, developed a strong understanding of the business and produced the work remarkably quickly. The final blueprint was exceptionally well researched, analytical and full of genuinely useful insights. It has given us a clear and practical foundation from which to develop the Eagle Bay franchise model. I would highly recommend Martin and the Familia team to any business considering franchising.

For a long time, I have been wandering how to expand my business in a smarter way. I met Julie and Martin at the right time. Julie is amazing to work with – a great cheer leader. With 15 years of experience, I am confident of her ability and guidance to help me turn my business into a franchise.

We'd been thinking about franchising for ages but hadn't a clue where to start. Martin and Julie actually know their stuff - they've built franchises themselves, not just advised on them. They were honest about what would and wouldn't work, which saved us a lot of time and money. Really pleased we found them.
