When it comes to franchising it is not a easy job and it cannot be done in a haste. It requires a minimum of six months to complete the entire process which involves many steps. But do not worry as we are here for you to guide you and take you forward in the right path.
The initial step would be evaluation where things like structure of the franchise, number of units, growth strategy etc should be decided. Then the next and the most important step would be financial analysis. Here is where you decide regarding all the financial issues and needs completely before proceeding further.
Then we go about looking for a suitable location for the franchise. Simultaneously we prepare the operations and procedures manual. This is very important and complete care with the preparation as this would give a complete outlook to several of your questions at a later stage. Franchise agreements and the other disclosure documents are to be prepared after which recruitment and training would be done.
