There are three important things to remember when choosing a company to work with as a franchise consulting group.
One: Make sure that the company has it’s resources in house. The internet and evasive marketing can cloud the fact that many franchise consultants do not have an in-house consulting team. Why is this important? Because you don’t want to play general contractor on your franchise development project. The business owner and entrepreneur should not have to be tracking people down throughout the development of their program. Francorp has an all in-house team that does not outsource any part of the franchise development. Francorp is the only franchise consulting firm that has an in-house legal staff. This is important because the franchise attorneys should be involved in all aspects of the franchise development process, the business planning, the operations development, the marketing materials, the website design and throughout the planning of the project.
Two: Depth and Resources. What happens if you hire an individual consultant or “Group” of consultants when the consultant working on your project decides to retire, take a vacation or has other work to attend to? The fact is that you need a team of experienced people who have depth and the resources to provide a complete consulting service. Francorp has been in operation for 33 years and worked with thousands of franchisors, the company is not going anywhere and will be here tomorrow. This is important because a new franchise company needs the guidance for years after they are introduced to the market.
Three: Experience and Diversity of Work. When developing a new franchise organization every company is unique and different, it is important that there is no magic pill for creating a successful franchise company. Each business and company has it’s own philosophies, culture and business model. The franchise consulting company should have a broad range of clients and work that they have done in order to draw from that experience and impliment the appropriate strategies and structure for their franchise organization. Why is this important? There are many franchise consultants out there who associate themselves with franchise systems they worked on while with other companies, they played a part in the development but did not run the projects or oversee the implimentation of the programs. Even other consultants claim work on franchise projects that in reality they played little or no part in the development of the critical aspects of the franchise program. Francorp brings more experience and a more extensive client list than any other franchise consulting organization. The depth and extent to which Francorp has worked with franchise systems of all kinds is unmatched by anyone in the market.

Comment by Senn Alan October 15, 2008 @ 2:38 amFrancorp is a great organization, I have met with them several different times and they have evaluated my franchise concepts which were different and in totally unique fields. Their analysis was accurate, complete and in the end they gave me direction for how I could prove my model out further before taking this step. I never paid them a dime and they worked with me for several years all together. Great company, great name.
Comment by Jerome Ruthmire January 30, 2009 @ 5:41 pmWhen I founded Francorp there were no companies that provided the work that Francorp does for small businesses. I franchised several companies before getting into this business, the idea and focus of Francorp has and always will be to support small business owners in making this transition from sole proprietor into the franchise world.
