THE PROBLEM

Why Ambitious Business Owners Choose Franchising

Your business has reached a point where the opportunities ahead are clear, but the traditional path to expansion brings challenges:

Opening new branches yourself requires substantial capital investment

Spreading your expertise across multiple locations while maintaining quality is complex

Finding and trusting managers to run additional sites carries risk

Choosing the right growth strategy needs experienced guidance

Franchising offers an alternative route. When structured properly, it creates growth through partnership, where franchisees bring investment, local knowledge and commitment to building their own success using your proven model.

The choice you're facing:

Continue operating at your current scale, which works well but limits your potential reach. Or explore whether franchising could be the strategic path that takes your business to the next level, creating value for you and future franchisees.

The key is making sure franchising suits your business and doing it ethically from the start.

THE GUIDE

Experience You Can Trust

Real Franchisor Background

Graham Mylchreest has built and grown franchise networks himself, not just advised on them. His work with Apollo Blinds achieved significant growth by doubling the network size and improving franchisee profitability. He's served three terms as an elected British Franchise Association board member.

Ethical Standards

If your business doesn't pass our four-point feasibility test, we'll explain what needs strengthening rather than taking your money. We treat franchisees as partners in your growth, making sure both sides benefit from a well-structured model.

Not-for-Profit Structure

Without shareholders demanding maximum returns, we can focus on fair fees and quality work. Where we negotiate savings with specialist partners, we pass those on to you.

THE PLAN

How We Support Your Franchise Journey

Our 5-Step Process

Feasibility Study

We profile your existing business to ensure it is profitable, sustainable, transferable and fully disclosed, to meet the ethical criteria of the British Franchise Association (BFA). If the model needs development, we'll show you what to address first.

Model Design

We structure your franchise commercially: we create financial models and projections for you and your franchisees. We recommend fee levels, territory sizes, support responsibilities and highlight the point where your head office becomes self-funding through royalties.

Documentation

We work with you to develop the franchise proposal and prospectus; the operations manual; training materials and work with specialist franchise lawyers to create robust agreements that protect both parties.

Recruitment Setup

We profile the ideal franchisee for your brand and design the selection process to find partners who'll succeed in your network. We will recommend a recruitment strategy and budget to match your ambitions and expectations.

Ongoing Mentoring

We support you as your first franchisees join, helping you develop into the network leader your business needs. And of course, we work as closely as you need to support you while you build your brand, helping you develop as a franchisor.

Typical timeframe: 3-6 months to become franchise-ready.

Graham and his team discussed the process step by step. I would without hesitation recommend him to any persons looking to set up a Franchise arm to their business.

SUCCESS

What Life Looks Like When Franchising Works

Picture running a franchise network of as little as 5 or 6 partners across the UK, with particular strength in the North East and Yorkshire. Each franchisee paid an initial fee to join and sends you monthly royalty fees. Your head office costs are covered. New franchisees represent genuine profitable growth, since your overheads are already covered.

You're leading a network rather than delivering everything yourself. A franchise support manager handles day-to-day contact with franchisees. You focus on developing the model, finding new opportunities and strengthening the brand.

Your business runs while you're away. Franchisees hit their targets and royalty payments arrive on schedule. The systems work.

When you're ready to step back, you're offering buyers a franchise network with multiple income streams from established territories. That creates genuine value.

This is what professional franchising builds.

FAQ

Quick Answers

How long does the process take?

3-6 months to become franchise-ready, depending on your business complexity and how quickly you can provide the information we need.

What investment is required?

You'll need to budget for consultancy, legal work and documentation. The advantage of franchising is that franchisees then invest their capital to open locations, rather than you funding each expansion yourself.

What if my business isn't quite ready?

We'll be honest about what needs developing first. We won't proceed if the feasibility doesn't support franchising, but we will show you what to strengthen.

Is grant support available?

Possibly, particularly for businesses in the North East. We'll help you explore current funding options that might apply to your situation.
