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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
