Franchising is a journey, not a one-off project. And you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

At Ashtons Franchise Consulting, we help businesses at every stage of their franchising journey. Whether you’re wondering if franchising is right for your business, preparing to launch your first franchise, building an established network or facing a particular challenge, we’re here to help.

We’ve been helping businesses with franchising since 1981, so we’ve seen a lot of franchise journeys along the way. We bring experience, practical advice and a straightforward approach, without believing that every business needs the same solution.

Sometimes you need help with the whole process. Sometimes you just need someone to talk through a particular problem. We can provide as much or as little support as you need, at your pace and within your budget. 

Thinking about franchising?

Taking your first steps can feel daunting. We can help you work out whether franchising is right for your business, what needs to happen and how to build a franchise model that works in practice.

 We can support you with:

• Assessing the potential of your franchise model
• Planning and preparing for launch
• Franchise manuals and operational systems
• Franchise documentation, working alongside specialist franchise lawyers
• Franchisee recruitment
• Advice and support throughout the launch process

Already a franchisor?

Getting the franchise launched is only the beginning. As your network grows, new questions and challenges will inevitably arise. That’s where we can continue to help.

Whether you need support with a particular issue or want someone alongside you on an ongoing basis, we can help with:

• Reviewing and improving your franchise system
• Updating operational manuals and processes
• Franchise system refreshes and reboots
• Franchisee recruitment and resales
• Franchise prospectuses
• Troubleshooting particular franchise challenges
• Ongoing advice, mentoring and support

You don’t have to do it all yourself. We’re here when you need us, whether that’s for a single conversation, help with a specific project or ongoing support as your franchise develops.

We also regularly run our How to Franchise Your Business online seminars, giving businesses considering franchising a practical introduction to the process.

Whatever stage you’re at, if you’d like to talk things through, get in touch with the Ashtons Franchise Consulting team.
