Franchise your business

Familia DNA

Your franchise blueprint.

Familia DNA is where franchising your business starts. Before anything is built, we work out how your business franchises: the model, the numbers, the territories and how you will take it to market. You come away with a blueprint for the whole franchise, set out in the right order so nothing is missed and nothing goes wrong later.

The blueprint

What’s in your blueprint

1

Vision and commercial strategy

Your goals, your model and your competitive position, with a clear picture of what success looks like and the route to get there.

2

Franchise business model

An honest assessment of what is strong, what needs attention and how to structure the commercial model so it works for you and your franchisees.

3

Territory planning and market analysis

UK mapping, demand analysis and territory design that protects future relationships and gives candidates a clear picture of the opportunity.

4

Financial modelling

Lender-ready forecasts, fee structures, royalty modelling and return on investment, so the numbers stack up for everyone.

5

Legal framework

Guidance on the legal structure you will need, so you go into the build knowing what is required.

6

Operations

How your model works at every level, set out as the basis for an operations manual that makes your business genuinely replicable.

7

Recruitment plan

Your target franchisee profile and the prospectus, content and advertising you will need to go to market.

How it runs

It starts with a call and a feasibility analysis of your business, which we walk you through before you decide anything. If you go ahead, we begin with a face-to-face briefing, meet again midway through, and deliver your finished blueprint in about a month.

About a month, and around six to eight hours of your time along the way.

You don’t wait until everything is perfect.

The usual approach is to build everything first and then look for franchisees. We prove the concept sells while the build is under way, so your pipeline starts earlier and your first franchise fees can help fund the rest.

After DNA, your choice.

We build it with you

Most clients choose this. We stay with you through the build, creating your operations, recruitment assets and launch, with franchisee recruitment running through Familia IQ from the start.

You build it yourself

If you have the people to build it in-house, the blueprint gives you everything you need, and we are on hand when you want specific support.

Questions you might have

How long does the blueprint take?

About a month from the briefing to the finished blueprint.

How much of my time will it need?

Around six to eight hours across the briefing, the midway meeting and the final presentation.

What if the blueprint shows my business isn’t ready?

We will tell you, and we will tell you what needs to change. It is better to have that conversation before you build than after.

Do I have to use Familia for the build?

No. The blueprint is yours, and some clients build it themselves.

Where could your business be in five years?
