Franchise Consultants – The Franchising Centre

The Franchising Centre provides the UK’s widest range of specialist franchising expertise.

The Franchising Centre has a team of commercially aware, professional consultants offering you access to nearly 200 years of practical experience in the creation and management of franchise systems around the world.  We have the breadth and depth of experience to help at any stage of franchise development locally, nationally, and internationally.

Why we succeed

Our consultants integrate as part of your team for the duration of your project and get on with the business of franchising your business while you get on with running it.  We don’t use off-the-shelf templates or one-size-fits-all solutions.  We give you a sleeves-rolled-up approach to your franchising needs and develop a bespoke solution that will work.

Who can we help?

If you are a business just thinking about franchising or are determined to explore this more thoroughly, we can help.

If you are already franchising but it’s not quite going the way you expected, or you need a review or audit of your concept and opportunity to make sure you’re on the right track, we can help with that too.

How we are better than the rest

All our consultants have considerable franchising experience.  All have worked at senior and director level in franchising businesses and all enjoy what they do which is getting heavily involved to produce effective and winning franchise systems.

Our UK consultancy team is spread conveniently across the UK to offer you a truly local service.  Nevertheless, our consultants meet regularly to discuss and review current cases and to support each other to produce the highest quality of work and advice for you.  By working in this way, all clients benefit from the combined wealth of experience within our group.

Franchising covers a vast range of issues from recruiting and training franchisees and support staff, to monitoring and maintaining franchisee performance through to franchise re-sales, and exit planning for both franchisee and you as the franchisor.  Our approach to this range of diverse issues has been to develop a group of specialist businesses to create the broadest one-stop-shop in UK franchising.  This means you always get access to an expert – not a Jack-of-all-trades.

Our Vision

“To be the first choice advisors to prospective & practising franchisors and franchisees, by providing flexible solutions for mutual achievement of business and personal goals to any organisation at any stage of its franchise development anywhere in the world.”

What We Stand For:

“Integrity, honesty, transparency, flexibility, innovation, collaboration and trust.”
