International franchising
Franchising your business overseas can be a complex process – professional advice is essential.
You will need to:
- Consider why you are doing it?
- Consider where you intend to start?
- Consider the risk of losing focus on core UK business
- Consider the costs
- Fully research the market to ensure there is a genuine need for your product / service taking into account any differences in local cultures
- Set up a pilot operation to test the concept
- Decide on the franchise structure – there are three main methods used – master licence, wholly owned or joint venture.
