Supporting franchisee growth and business transfers
From signing to scaling – and beyond
Turning candidates into franchisees
Once the franchise agreement is signed, it’s time to activate the partnership. A strong onboarding process sets the tone for success. That means providing thorough training, clear operational guidance and support with local formalities such as business registration, location setup or store renovations.
We help ensure a smooth handover between recruitment and operations teams, and support a seamless start for each new franchisee. Our recruiters monitor the process closely to ensure no step is missed.
Managing franchise relationships
Once the business is up and running, structured support is key. Franchisees need more than just initial training, they need ongoing engagement and clear communication to stay aligned and motivated.
We assist with:
- Tracking key dates such as anniversaries and contract renewals
- Writing and storing structured visit reports and meeting notes
- Organising regular franchisee group meetings and follow-up communications
- Maintaining up-to-date franchisee records and documentation
Our consultants and systems help you keep everything in order, so that you’re always ready when strategic decisions or transitions arise.
Scaling up or stepping out
As franchisees evolve, two key paths may emerge:
1. Multi-unit growth
When franchisees are ready to open additional locations, it’s important to have clear criteria in place. We help define and measure KPIs related to their personal development, team performance and financial results.
Our services include:
- Defining growth KPIs and targets
- Conducting development assessments
- Creating KPI dashboards
- Coaching franchisees towards the next step
2. Selling the business
If a franchisee chooses to exit, finding a qualified successor is essential for business continuity. A successful transfer protects the value of the network and maintains operational performance.
Franchise+ can help source a successor via our Franchise for Sale service and support the entire transfer process. Our partners can also assist with:
- Negotiating the handover
- Business valuation
- Legal documentation and closing
- Financing arrangements for the buyer
