I would be interested to know who are the people on the forum who have successfully franchised their business, or those that are in the process.

Many thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

That's SPOOKY

I've just booked some advertising on here for my franchising system.

Should be going live in a day or so - watch for the top banner and my locked sticky topic

Ian

I will be honest, I want to franchise my model but probably want to pick the brains of someone who has gone through the process.

What do I need to do, paperwork, legalities, pitfalls etc

You could try clicking on the link at the bottom of my posts (Jolisian)

Ian

I have looked over your website in the past and knew you had a successful model but it doesn't give me the how and that is what I am stuck on.

Should I go and see a professional, is it information I can get for nothing or is it something else?

Rob

Sorry Ian

I clicked on the wrong link

From that I read that you have put together a start up in franchise package that costs £1500.00. Is that package set up transferable to any franchise model?

Your franchise is low cost, mine will have reasonably high initial investment because of the van & equipment, could the paperwork if bought fit my model?

Rob;D

Would you not be better reading up on franchising all you can and then hiring a solicitor to do your contract rob? like you say your franchise model seems like it would be less straight forward than just cleaning windows !

My friend has just took out a green thumb franchise and there is alot involved

I know at some point I am going to have to get professional advice but wouldn't mind a start in knowing what I really have to pay for and what is freely available.

Do you mind me asking what the model cost, what they got for the money etc?

Rob I would go to a franchise show, there is also free advice freely available on franchises, fair play for ian trying to sell his info for £1500 a pop

Hi Rob,

My system will suit any 'repeat visit' type of business.  The reason my franchise fee is low is I don't provide the van - the incoming franchisee pays a fee from which I buy all the equipment, signwriting, uniform etc and he provides his own van.

Am i right in thinking that they would then pay a monthly or yearly fee on top of the first payment of £8950 ?

Of course!!

[landy2]

what i dont understand is for 8000 you could buy a good round witch would belong to yourself and you would nt have to pay any more fees ,  why bother paying for something that would never be your own or am i missing something   

[Rob_Mac]

Sorry Ian & Ian

I have been looking at the cost of protection of the branding. Ian L I wasn't having a dig about the cost of the franchise paperwork - I have no idea what it should cost!

My business is not repeat - so I guess your paperwork kit is not right for me?

What does the figure you have given to Ian get from your model?
