What do we do?

Our range of services is broad and covers virtually all aspects of franchising. If your company is looking to launch a franchise system - get in touch with us. We will check whether it will be sensible and profitable. We will indicate the most effective form of developing a franchise system, prepare financial analyses, an operations manual and a franchise agreement. We will conduct a recruitment campaign to attract franchisees and promote your franchise offer. What's more - you can outsource the comprehensive management of your franchise network to us - so you don't need to create a new department within your structures.

If you already have a franchise system in place, you can have us audit it. If there is room for improvement, we will do it.
