What We Do

We create the strategic framework, operational and marketing plans and all required documentation for franchising and other methods of expansion. Additionally, we develop solutions to operational challenges caused by rapid growth.

We connect with our clients on a highly personal level in order to understand their objectives and motivations. We then apply our experience, knowledge, and strategic smarts to facilitate the fulfillment of their goals.

We begin by understanding your aspirations for the business. To this end, we ask a lot of questions around four basic issues:

1. What motivates you to expand your business? Sure, you probably want to make more money, but usually there are more fundamental motivations at work; and, they are critical.
2. What is your exit strategy? By starting with the end in mind we can create the appropriate structure for you.
3. Should your business be franchised? Not every business can or should be franchised. We’ll probe your situation carefully to determine if franchising is right for you and your business.
4. Will your business model generate profitable results for a franchisee and for you? This is perhaps the most important point to address before any decisions are made.

After we fully understand what you hope to achieve, we will recommend an appropriate expansion strategy. The possibilities include:

• Franchising
• Licensing
• Partnerships
• Other

With an appropriate strategy agreed upon, we help you overcome all the regulatory, operational, and marketing barriers to implementing your strategy. We don’t just provide a plan and walk away; we continue to support you as your expansion unfolds.

Operational Solutions to Rapid Growth

Expanding a business is never easy. Whether you embark on franchising or some other form of expansion, you may face a stiff learning curve. Perhaps you have granted more franchises than you anticipated, and have stretched your ability to train and support your franchisees. Or you have hit a growth plateau after an initial period of success forcing you to question your assumptions and systems. Unlike other franchise consultants, we don’t just set up the framework and leave the implementation to you. We also provide ongoing advice and support to help you through the rough spots ahead.
