Howarth Franchising is the UK’s leading business consultancy firm specialising in the area of franchising. If you are a potential or existing franchisor and you have a question about franchising – ask Howarth.

Thinking of franchising your business?

It is said that almost any business that can be run as a branch network can be franchised - that's not necessarily true, but if your business is suitable you could grow your network much more quickly and establish your brand using other people's money and enthusiasm.

From bespoke consultancy to our low cost all-in package, Howarth Franchising can provide the best advice on how to achieve this. Franchise-in-a-Box has been developed to provide a low-cost route to franchising. It enables suitable organisations to get to the stage of launching their franchise offer to the prospective franchisee community, and to be ready to start to generate enquiries from potential candidates in a highly cost-efficient manner.

Already a franchisor?

If you are already operating a franchised network then our range of seminars, consultancy services and training programmes will help you do it better.

This might include review and development of:

• Franchise Network Development Plans and Financial Forecasts
• Operating Systems and Manuals
• Franchise Marketing Plans and Franchisee Recruitment Processes
• Franchisee Accounting and Reporting Systems
• Franchisee Training, Motivational and Communications Programmes

Franchising does not figure prominently in the programmes of many academic institutions so The Franchise Training Centre was created to provide practical development and coaching for executives working in the franchise community. Contact us for more information about The Franchise Training Centre’s regular workshops.

Considering International Franchising?

Whether or not you have franchised outlets in your home country, franchising offers you the opportunity to benefit from your know-how by taking your successful format and building your brand around the world. Howarth Franchising has unrivalled expertise and contacts within its international franchising department, so whether you are looking to franchise outside of the UK, bring a system into the UK or are seeking master licensees, call Howarth.
