Were you at the Franchise Show at Birmingham NEC last week? It was a great event if you’re thinking about franchising your business as it gave everyone an opportunity to see how other franchisors have managed their journey. There’s no doubt that the franchising world is continuing to evolve – especially after everything that’s happened over the last few years – but there is definitely a feeling that people are looking to the future more now, and franchising is very much seen as a fantastic way to do exactly that.
If you were there, you might have caught the Friday lunchtime seminar hosted by the bfa: How to Franchise Your Business. It was led by none other than our very own Alan Wilkinson – a familiar face at these events. With three decades of experience and dozens of brands guided through those first crucial steps, there’s very little Alan doesn’t know about the ins and outs of turning a good business into a successful franchise.
If you did see it, and you have any questions about what he talked about, then please do get in touch and we’d be happy to go into any of the topics in more depth. Just click the button at the bottom of this email to schedule a call.
If you missed it, don’t worry. We’ve lined up something special for next week.
Two free online sessions, hosted by myself and my colleague Michael Hulmes. Michael has worked with countless brands here at TFC, guiding several from concept through to recruiting their first franchisees and building real momentum in the market.

We’ll be sharing our experiences and expertise, as well as drawing on all the insights Alan shared at the NEC presentation. There’ll be plenty of opportunities for discussion and questions, and we want to give you the framework you need to decide if franchising is right for you, and how to go about getting started on that journey so that you’re setup for success.
They’re all about giving you the clarity and practical tools to decide if – and how – you should take that next step. Please do come and join us!
