Franchise Consulting Services

Who our franchise consultants can help…

Our franchise consulting services are primarily geared toward three markets: Companies seeking to franchise a business, companies who are already franchising, and manufacturers selling through dealers or distributors.

1. Companies seeking to franchise a business for the first time. These clients will already have developed a successful prototype and are looking to expand through franchising.
   
2. Companies who are already franchising. These clients are looking to improve on an established franchise system, hire personnel, increase their operating efficiency, improve quality, or increase franchise sales effectiveness.
   
3. Manufacturers currently selling through dealers or distributors. The iFranchise Group has developed a proprietary system for helping these clients increase operational control, improve brand image, and increase product sales.
