Evaluate the franchise behind the brochure.
A franchise opportunity should fit more than an investor’s budget or interest in a brand. Territory, local customer demand, property requirements, operating complexity, fees and the responsibilities set out in the agreement all influence whether an opportunity deserves further consideration.
Premark’s Franchise Consulting helps entrepreneurs and investors compare opportunities against their investment range, preferred location, target customer and involvement in day-to-day operations. We help organise the questions and comparisons needed before a decision; the final investment choice remains with the investor after appropriate independent due diligence.
Detail
What we assess
Investment requirement and fit
Compare the stated investment range with the investor’s available budget and consider which cost items may need confirmation, including setup, deposits, fees, working capital and ongoing charges.
Territory and location suitability
Consider where the concept is intended to operate, the brand’s territory rules, property criteria, local customer profile and competing categories.
Brand positioning and audience
Review the intended customer, price position, category, brand proposition and whether these appear suited to the target market.
Operating model and complexity
Understand staffing or owner-involvement expectations, operating hours, required capabilities, supply dependencies and the level of complexity described by the franchisor.
Revenue, royalty and fee structure
Review the commercial model presented by the franchisor, including royalty, marketing contributions, other recurring charges and assumptions that require independent verification.
Scalability and future fit
Discuss whether the territory, resources and model could fit the investor’s longer-term plans, without assuming that expansion or profitability is assured.
Questions for due diligence
Identify areas where the investor should request evidence, speak with existing franchisees where possible, and seek professional review of financial, legal and contractual information.
