Sectors we work in

Professional Services Franchising

Franchise your professional services business properly, or grow the network you have, with people who understand how to turn expertise into a system.

Clients pay for know-how, judgement and trust. A professional services franchise has to capture what you do well and help every franchisee deliver it to the same standard. That is what we build with you.

How we help

Wherever your business is now.

Franchising for the first time

We look at your model, your methods and how much depends on you personally, then build the franchise with you: the numbers, the operations manual, the training, the agreements, and the recruitment that finds your first franchisees.

Growing a professional network

We find, follow up and qualify franchisees with the right expertise or the ability to build it, plus the business sense to win clients, so you spend your time with the right people. Every candidate runs through Familia IQ, our recruitment system, and we only get paid when you sign a franchisee.

Professional services businesses we work with

Each has its own qualifications and regulation. We plan the franchise around them.

Our franchise consultants work across eight service sectors, so what works in one often helps another.

  • Financial and business services. Accountancy, bookkeeping, tax and business advice.
  • Legal, HR and compliance. Legal services, HR support, employment law and compliance.
  • Marketing and digital. Digital marketing, web design, social media and brand services.
  • Coaching and training. Business coaching, professional training and leadership development.
  • Property services. Estate and lettings agency, surveying and property management.

Expertise, turned into a system.

Professional services usually need little equipment or premises, clients often stay for years, and the work attracts capable people who want their own practice. The hard part is separating what only you can do from what a well-trained franchisee can do just as well, then writing that down. That is where we come in.

Questions professional services businesses ask

Is franchising right for my professional services business?

It can be, if your results do not depend entirely on you personally, your methods can be written down and taught, and the numbers work for a franchisee as well as for you. We look at that honestly. If you already franchise and recruitment has slowed, we can help with that too.

How do you find the right franchisees for a professional services business?

We look for people with the right qualifications or experience, or the ability to gain them, who can also win and keep clients. Our campaigns lead with your methods, your reputation and the support you give, and we qualify every candidate before they reach you.

Can you franchise a business built on expertise?

Often, yes. The work is separating what only you can do from what a trained franchisee can do just as well, then capturing your methods, tools and client process so they can be taught. Where qualifications are needed, we build that into who you recruit.

How do you handle professional regulation?

We write any qualification, insurance and regulatory requirements into the operations manual and recruitment criteria, and build in checks so every franchisee stays compliant. If you are new to franchising, we help you document what you already do.

What support do professional services franchisees need?

Training in your methods, help winning their first clients, shared tools and templates, and updates as regulation changes. We help you set up support that keeps working as the network grows.
