2. Great we have a good beginning as you and your personality make up 50% of the reasons why all franchisees select your particular franchise system

3. Now for the really tough question... Are you prepared to put your money where your mouth is?
So many potential franchisors we talk to on the telephone making preliminary enquires about franchising their particular business go to water as soon as we mention the real cost of establishing the professional foundations elements for a franchise system which will stand the only real test... time!

4. Any franchise system can be put together for as little as $5000 which gets you a 'knock off franchise agreement' and a fundamental disclosure statement to comply with the mandatory franchising Code of Practice.
But if you are serious and want to buy an insurance policy to work with proven franchise specialists it will take around five months to teach you how to be a franchisor and put in place all the critical franchise control documentation.
We generally quote a fixed fee when we have spent an initial day with a potential franchisor at our fee of $1,750 inclusive of GST.
Yes I can hear you groan, its going to cost you money to find out FIRST if you really SHOULD be franchising your business.

5. You can franchise just about anything, and over the last 22 years we have seen believe me just about every type of business you can imagine and our fair share of cowboys!

6. You must believe in yourself and understand from the outset when you have made that big commitment to franchise, you will be in two businesses . That means you stay in the business you already have developed to the point you can show others how to run successfully and NOW you must learn from EXPERTS how to run a franchise system.

7. If you are still with us, try this on for size. Can you see yourself having at least 10 franchisees within the first year of franchising? If not what business are you in?

8. Now pick up the telephone and book a day with us to look at all the pro's and con's of franchising your business or even your proposed business concept as it is NEVER TO EARLY to get an honest and expert franchise opinion as to whether we think you have what it takes.

9. Our claim to fame over the last 22 years is that we have never had a client failure, but sadly we also have to add, of those clients who have taken our advice in its entirety ! Have you heard about "selected hearing" ? Maybe you suffer from this one too?

10. Be prepared for a day with the "franchisee from hell" because we know all the right questions to ask and boy you will be put through our investigation wringer!

Wouldn't you like to know at the beginning whether you are ready or should franchise your business?

We have been called expensive, blunt, tough and to the point but nobody has asked for a refund and if that first day is stronger favourable you will be under no illusions about EXACTLY what your commitment to franchising means and the very exciting financial benefits you will enjoy.
