Have you ever felt like you’re the only one facing some of these problems:

• Struggling to support franchisees as your network expands?
• Knowing your brand has more potential, but lacked time or clarity to unlock it?
• Good franchise recruitment leads just not moving forward?
• Feeling frustrated by franchisees ignoring crucial updates or underperforming?
• Dreading dealing with contract issues, renewals, or underperforming partners?

When you speak to other franchisors, what do you tend to talk about? Probably your successes much more than your challenges. Sometimes it can seem like everyone else has got it all figured out. Their networks are growing, their franchisees are thriving, and from the outside, everything looks smooth.

The reality of running a franchise is never that clear cut.

It’s just like reading a social media post, especially on places like LinkedIn. What you’re seeing is the highlight reel, not all the blood, sweat, and tears that always goes on behind the scenes. Which is why, after working with dozens of different franchises over the years, I can tell you with absolute confidence:

It’s not just you…EVERYONE has these exact same problems

In fact, they’re so common we should probably think of them as milestones, rather than problems. They’re simply challenges every franchise faces at some point or another, and are the by-product of success, not of failure.

The big difference is how you deal with it. Running into these milestones is the sign of a good franchise, moving past them in confidence is the sign of a great one.

So, how do you make that happen?

Franchising is built on the principle of working smarter by working together. So why not apply that to running your own network?

Our Franchise Operations & Support Service can provide you with all manner of support from one or more highly experienced franchise specialists, from franchise audits and building stronger operational structures, through to business coaching and dispute resolution, and everything in between.

However, the first step is absolutely free – having a chat about where you are as a franchise, and where you hope to be in the future. We’d be happy to give you a little advice and guidance, and sometimes it’s just good to bounce some ideas of someone who understands. If possible, we will suggest some ways we can help you move forward, if you even need it, but what you decide to do with that advice after that is entirely up to you.

So, why don’t we book that first free chat and see what happens? Just click the button below to choose a time that suits you.

I look forward to hearing from you.
