Validate the Training

A strong franchisor will have a comprehensive training programme. You must ensure the initial training bridges any gaps in your commercial experience, and that ongoing support is provided as you scale the business.

Speak to Franchisees

The most crucial step of due diligence is validating the model with existing network members. Ask the franchisor for a full list of their network and select the individuals you wish to speak with randomly.

Review the Agreement

Franchise agreements heavily favour the franchisor. It is imperative that you instruct a BFA-affiliated franchise solicitor to review the contract, highlighting restrictive covenants, renewal clauses, and exit strategies.
