Franchise development

Is my business ready to franchise?

Ten questions, about two minutes. Answer each one honestly to see where your business stands today and which gaps to close before franchising. Your answers stay on your screen unless you choose to send them to us.

  1. Does your brand appeal to customers beyond your current market area?
  2. Does one product or service produce more than 80% of your sales?
  3. Is your product or service offering focused enough that another team could deliver it the same way?
  4. Is the business profitable after paying a manager, supplies and franchise fees?
  5. Can a trained manager run the business without you for a month?
  6. Are your suppliers and key inputs dependable, with backups in place?
  7. Could your location and format be repeated within a set budget?
  8. Have you confirmed your brand and legal readiness with franchise counsel?
  9. Do you have the head-office support a first franchisee would need?
  10. Do you have a pilot location that has met its targets?
