Franchise my business: where to start

If you are asking how to franchise your business, the honest answer is that it starts with the model, not the paperwork. A business is ready to franchise when it makes good money, someone else can run it from a manual, and there is demand beyond the place it started.

From there, franchising your business means building the foundations: the numbers for you and your franchisees, the operations manual, the franchise agreement, your territories and a plan to recruit your first franchisees. Whether you want to franchise your brand, your company or one successful site, the steps are the same.

The videos above take you through each stage. For the full picture, read our guide to how to franchise your business, or see how we franchise your business with you.

Can I franchise my business?

Most service businesses with a proven, profitable model can be franchised. The test is whether someone else could follow your system in another town and make a good living, with enough margin left for you. If it is not ready yet, we will tell you what to fix first.

How long does it take to franchise my business?

Most businesses take three to nine months to get franchise-ready, depending on how much is already in place. Recruitment can start before everything is finished, so your first franchisees are not waiting on the last document.

How much does it cost to franchise my business?

It depends on your business and how much is already in place. We agree the scope after a first call and a feasibility analysis, so you know what it will take before you commit. Our guide to what it costs to franchise a business covers the main costs.

Do I need a franchise consultant?

You don’t have to use one, but most first-time franchisors underestimate the work involved. A good franchise consultant has done it before and helps you avoid the expensive mistakes. Ours have built a UK franchise network themselves.
