FAQ

WHAT DOES A FRANCHISE CONSULTANT DO?
A franchise consultant helps businesses grow through franchising. In the UK, a franchise consultant provides expert advice on turning a business into a franchise model, recruiting franchisees, and supporting ongoing network growth. At Familia, we guide clients through every stage, from strategy and legal frameworks to marketing and operational support. We use our own experience as franchise owners to ensure advice is practical and relevant, not just theoretical.
HOW MUCH DOES A FRANCHISE CONSULTANT COST IN THE UK?
Costs vary depending on the scope of work. In the UK, franchise consultancy fees can range from a few thousand pounds for initial strategy planning to tens of thousands for a fully managed service. At Familia, our pricing is transparent, with staged packages that let brands start small and scale their investment as the project develops. This ensures you only pay for the services you actually need, without unnecessary extras.
WHY HIRE A FRANCHISE CONSULTANT INSTEAD OF GOING IT ALONE?
It saves time, avoids costly mistakes, and increases your chances of success. Franchising is a regulated and competitive sector in the UK, and going it alone can lead to legal, operational, or recruitment challenges. An experienced franchise consultant like Familia helps you set up the right systems from day one, attract quality franchisees, and keep the network running smoothly. Our approach combines real-world franchise ownership experience with proven growth strategies.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FRANCHISE A BUSINESS IN THE UK?
Most projects take between three and six months. The timeline depends on the size of your business, how ready your operations are, and whether you choose a staged or fast-track approach. At Familia, we work efficiently while ensuring every element — from your legal agreements to your franchise marketing — is complete before launch. This balance between speed and thoroughness means you’re ready to recruit with confidence.
