Fractional Franchise Consultants

FRACTIONAL FRANCHISE CONSULTANCY

Expert Franchise Support Without the Full-Time Cost

Whether you’re building business foundations, launching your first franchise, or scaling an established network, you need experienced guidance. But hiring a full-time franchise director isn’t always practical.

Our Fractional Franchise Consultancy gives you access to experienced franchise specialists who’ve built and scaled their own networks – on a flexible, cost-effective basis.

It’s like having a franchise growth director on your management team, but without the full-time overhead.

Julie explains how fractional consultancy provides strategic franchise support when and how you need it – without the cost of full-time staff.

WHAT WE WORK ON

Fractional consultancy is flexible by design. We focus on whatever matters most for your franchise right now:

Business Foundations
Building professional brand identity, digital presence, documented processes, and operational systems that create a replicable business.

Franchise Development
Creating operations manuals, franchise agreements, territory planning, fee structures, and recruitment materials.

Franchisee Recruitment
Optimising recruitment strategy, improving conversion rates, refining sales journeys, and accelerating your pipeline.

Network Operations
Strengthening support systems, improving franchisee communication, resolving operational challenges, and refining as you scale.

Strategic Growth
Territory expansion planning, fee optimization, performance management, and making key growth decisions with confidence.

Whatever You’re Facing
Some months focus on recruitment. Others on operations or strategic planning. The support adapts to your current priorities and challenges.

HOW IT WORKS

Regular Strategic Sessions

We meet for focused working sessions where we tackle challenges together, make decisions, create action plans, and ensure you’re moving forward.

Completely flexible:

Minimum: 1 hour per month
– Frequency adjusts to your needs (weekly, fortnightly, monthly)
– Session length varies (1-2 hours typically)
– Can dial up or down at any stage

Some months you’ll need more support. Others less. The rhythm adapts to what you’re facing and what’s most valuable.

Each session, you leave with:

– Clear priorities for the coming period
– Specific actions to implement
– Understanding of why each step matters
– Confidence about what to do next

Goal Setting and Accountability
Regular check-ins to keep you focused on growth priorities and moving forward with recruitment and network expansion.

Email Support
Document reviews and practical feedback when you need it – from recruitment materials to franchisee communications.

1:1 Zoom Sessions
Talk openly about growth challenges, recruitment decisions, and scaling strategies that are holding you back.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Fractional consultancy works for franchise businesses at any stage:

If you’re exploring franchising and want guidance through the development process without expensive mistakes.

If you’re launching your franchise and need support recruiting your first franchisees and establishing your network.

If you’re scaling an established network and need strategic support on recruitment, operations, and growth decisions.

If you’re a business owner who needs to build professional foundations before franchising becomes possible.

The common thread? You need expert franchise guidance but can’t justify (or don’t need) a full-time franchise director on your team.

Ongoing Partnership, Not Just Projects

Unlike project-based consultancy, fractional consultancy provides continuous support. We become part of your team – understanding your business deeply, knowing your challenges, and helping you navigate growth over time.

You get consistent guidance from someone who knows your journey, not one-off advice from consultants who disappear after delivery.
