Stage 1 – Franchise Feasibility Assesssment

This assessment takes a critical look at your business considering issues such as your competitive advantage and point(s) of difference, what makes your business attractive for franchising and for franchisees in particular.

Should the feasibility assessment indicate that franchising is not suitable for your business, we will advise you accordingly.

The Franchise Development Plan or Franchise Business Plan will act as the road map guide for the development of the new franchising operation. It will form the backbone for your business and may be used in the raising of capital for the operation and also as a guide to ensure you keep focused on the tasks available.
