Most brands should not franchise yet, and we will say so
Franchising multiplies whatever your business already is. If the unit economics are thin, the SOPs are in someone's head, or the supply chain only works because the founder chases it, franchising will multiply the failure faster than the success.
Our first engagement is always a feasibility assessment, and roughly one in four ends with a recommendation not to franchise this year. That recommendation comes with the specific list of what has to be fixed first.
- Feasibility before fee-earning expansion work
- Unit economics modelled from your actual outlet data
- Legal architecture reviewed by external franchise counsel
- No commission arrangements with franchise brokers
