Course Description: 

The goal of any great franchise is to achieve consistent and sustainable replication of a brand’s promise to consumers, and for the franchise system to be financially successful at every level.

While franchises may look similar to one another, the culture of the company, how it markets its products and services, how it is positioned to consumers, its brand standards, methods of preparing products, its types of services, site selection and development, suppliers, POS and IT system, support, forms, procedures and requirements may all be different.

In this session, we will run through the key framework a franchisor needs to put into place in order to adopt this business model. As a franchisor, the organisation has a vested interest in ensuring the success of the franchisees. We will discuss the tool kit required to facilitate this relationship, such as franchisor manual, standard operating procedures, corporate governance structure, quality audit frameworks, marketing efforts, franchise model’s financial levers and more.
