Consultation
1. Franchise Terms and Conditions.
Franchise terms and conditions are often heavily biased in favour of the franchisor, leaving franchisees with limited negotiating power and control over their businesses. This imbalance can result in restrictions on operational flexibility and significant financial commitments. Understanding and navigating these terms is crucial for protecting your interests and ensuring your success as a franchisee
2. Buyer Beware!
Entering the world of franchising can be enticing, with franchisors often wooing and courting potential franchisees with promises of success and support. Before making any commitment, it's important to thoroughly evaluate the franchise, understand the long-term commitment and be confident you have the right ongoing support.
3. Business Plan and Funding
We assist franchisees in developing robust business plans for initial funding and then also for long-term strategic growth. Our independence ensures that we provide honest, unbiased advice, giving you the truth you need to reduce risk and make informed decisions.

Critical Care Review
1. Revenue and profit less than expected?
If your revenue and profit are below expectation, it’s time to examine the factors affecting performance. This could be due to operational challenges, market conditions, or misalignment with the franchise model.
We suggest reviewing your business plan, finances, and operations.
We offer independent advice to help identify and address these issues, whether that means challenging the franchisor or creating a plan to improve your business.
2. Where are the leads?
Investing in a franchise promises a proven marketing strategy and tools for success. While specific lead numbers aren't guaranteed, the franchisor should support lead generation. If your sales pipeline is weaker than expected, address the issue early. Document communications if the franchisor is unresponsive.
We can help you approach the franchisor effectively, as well as develop new strategies to boost your marketing and lead generation.
3. Can't afford the fees!
The franchisor's goal is to sell franchises and collect ongoing fees. If these fees are causing you financial strain, take action immediately.
Seek advice promptly and approach the franchisor with a firm strategy. Addressing the issue early can lead to a solution that benefits both parties and helps you manage your franchise finances more effectively.
Franchisee Doctor can help you navigate these discussions as well as develop a strategy to address these issues long-term.

Business Health Check
1. Do you have a long term strategy for your franchise?
Developing a long-term strategy is essential for sustained franchise growth and success. This involves setting goals, identifying key performance indicators, and creating a roadmap for achieving milestones.
A clear strategy helps you navigate challenges, adapt to market changes, and improve operations. Regularly review and adjust your strategy to align with evolving business needs and market conditions.
Franchisee Doctor can assist you in crafting and refining your long-term strategy to ensure sustained growth and success.
2. Do you have a clear concise long term business plan?
A written business plan is a crucial tool for guiding your franchise’s growth. It should outline your business goals, target market, competitive analysis, financial projections, and operational strategies.
Documenting these elements provides a clear direction for your business and serves as a reference for making informed decisions.
We can work with you to develop a customised business plan to reflect your needs.
3. What is a Business Health Check?
A Business Health Check is a thorough evaluation of your franchise's performance and operational efficiency. Through interviews, questionnaires, and benchmarking we produce a confidential, customised report that assesses all aspects of your business.
This report provides recommendations to help you identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement allowing you to make informed decisions and implement strategies to enhance your business's performance and profitability.
Regular Business Health Checks ensure you stay on track and can proactively address any issues that arise.
