Who we are
Built by franchise leaders, not theorists.
The Franchise Partners is different from a typical agency. We are operators who have built, scaled and restructured real UK franchise networks. Between us we’ve worked with brands from their very first site through to established networks, across sectors such as care, beauty, food, fitness, automotive and more. We combine board-level strategy with day-to-day operational support, so you get advice that actually works in the real world.
How we work
From 1 to 100 – a clear path, not guesswork.
Whether you are a new franchisor or an experienced brand looking to grow again, we start in the same place: by understanding where you really are today and where you want to end up. Successful entrepreneurs work with the outcome in mind – we help you turn that outcome into a clear, practical route.
1. Diagnostic & fact-find (first 3 months)
An honest, detailed look at your brand, numbers and network – so we’re all working from reality, not wishful
thinking.
- Full fact-find across operations, marketing, finances and support.
- Review of existing franchisees (if any), agreements and obligations.
- Identify risks, quick wins and longer-term opportunities.
2. Cashflow & growth plan with the CEO
Together with the CEO/owners we map out the end goal – then build a cashflow and growth plan that shows
how to get there.
- Bespoke cashflow model built around your brand and ambitions.
- Territory and network growth modelling from 1 to 100+ units.
- Clear milestones, KPIs and scenarios so everyone sees the path.
3. Hands-on delivery & troubleshooting
We don’t just hand you a report and disappear. We plug in as an extended head-office team and help make it
happen.
- Support with complex franchisees, disputes and under-performance.
- Regular sessions to review progress and adjust the plan.
- Practical, sleeves-rolled-up help when issues appear.
What we do
A one-stop solution for franchisors.
We work with emerging and established franchisors who want a partner to help them grow properly – not just sell a few franchises and hope for the best. From platforms and lead generation through to Getting Into Business documents, manuals and network support, we act as a very hands-on, senior extension of your head office team.
Franchise design, documentation & compliance
We help you build the structure, documentation and systems you need so your franchise offer is credible,
compliant and ready to scale.
- Getting Into Business (GIB) packs and onboarding journeys.
- Operations manuals, processes and playbooks.
- Support to meet franchisor legal and regulatory obligations.
Lead generation & recruitment process
Attract better prospects and take them from first enquiry to fully onboarded franchisee in a structured,
professional way.
- Ad platforms and campaigns set up for your target profile.
- Messaging, brochures and presentation decks.
- Discovery calls and meetings, follow-up and getting into business.
Network support & troubleshooting
We’re often asked to step in when things are complicated – under-performing or unhappy franchisees,
strained relationships or stalled networks.
- Independent view on issues between franchisor and franchisees.
- Action plans to turn around performance and rebuild trust.
- Ongoing mentoring and support for both head office and network.
