Who We Serve
World Franchise’s development services are primarily geared toward three markets:
New Franchisors
These clients have already developed a successful prototype and are looking to expand through franchising.
Existing Franchisors
These clients are looking to increase operating efficiency, improve quality, or increase franchise sales effectiveness.
Manufacturers
These clients are currently selling through dealers or distributors and seek to increase operational control.
Our Services
We help clients develop unique franchise strategies and strategic franchise business plans. Our recommendations become the foundation of the franchise program and are incorporated into the legal, operations, and marketing documents.
Our independent franchise attorneys fully represent our clients under a client-attorney relationship. They advise clients concerning franchise structure and relationships, state registrations, compliance issues, international expansion and other franchise matters.
We work with clients to achieve sustainable performance gains by designing customized, comprehensive, online operations manuals, support manuals, and staff training programs for franchisors and franchisees.
Our teams help clients develop franchise marketing plans, conduct franchise management search, expand franchise networks, and improve system profitability by reducing franchisee recruitment costs and improving the quality of new franchisees coming into a system.
We offer clients a full suite of customized franchise financing solutions to help grow their franchise business. In addition, the program provides access to government guaranteed loans for franchise buyers, along with access to equipment financing.
We present franchising as an alternative career option to consumers who are looking to make a career change. We provide guidance, information, education and support to help them identify and evaluate the best franchise opportunities that match their personal goals, needs and expectations.
We help clients expand to over 200 countries, export franchises, import franchises, and connect with qualified master franchisees. We partner with and incubate global franchise brands, leveraging shared efficiencies between our family of franchises to fuel growth.
World Franchise Consulting Scholarship
We will soon provide a tuition-free franchise education program that, combined with its online delivery, will maximize its accessibility and reach. The World Franchise Consulting Scholarship Program is a 12-week economic development program of condensed, intensive franchise courses, provided at no cost to new franchisees and franchise consultants, that are designed to identify, optimize and execute franchise growth opportunities.
World Franchise Development Scholarship
We will also soon launch the World Franchise Development Scholarship Program to teach consultants how to develop and promote innovative emerging franchises by resolving the challenges potential franchisors face, which includes: lack of knowledge on how to franchise their business, lack of proper business strategy and implementation plans, lack of infrastructure to support their franchisees, marketing strategies to grow their franchise business and, access to capital to assist their franchisees.
1 Million Franchises
In addition, 1 Million Franchises is an innovative, philanthropic, inner-city initiative to use franchises to revitalize urban communities, improve neighborhood access to retail and services, and promote sustainable local economic development. The program aims to attract new franchisors and franchisees to emerging domestic markets and help some 125 qualified individuals in each of the nearly 8,800 U.S. Opportunity Zones become entrepreneurs through franchising.
Our Value Proposition
The World Franchise Marketplace will give unmatched exposure to franchises for sale. Seller listings will be shared with our global community of consultants for the broadest distribution possible. Buyers will have the largest pool of franchises to choose from. We will also offer the widest variety of exclusive franchise opportunities not available through any other organization.
Unparalleled Franchise Experience
We partner with leading franchise service providers specializing in each area of franchise development, with over 400 years of combined experience in franchising.
