Funding

Our funding arm is an independent source for raising capital for both start-up and growth of franchise businesses; our team of finance professionals work with the client to develop a bespoke business plan and funding application, which is used as a platform to broker the best rates for the money that they need. 2020 brings a new element to our funding team as we are now able to provide Asset & Vehicle finance for both start-up and existing franchisees.

Accountancy

d&t is a well-known as being a chartered accountant which delivers all the core compliance services you would expect from a leading accountancy practice, as well as additional expertise and advice for franchise specific businesses. Including our Franchise Dashboard, a bespoke franchisee benchmarking tool, which allows franchisors to view all high level KPI’s across their entire network, in one place.

Business Advisory

We know that running a Franchise Network can be like peddling up a steep hill… towing all your franchisees behind you. Sometimes an outside opinion and strategist can lift the weight from a franchisor’s shoulders, giving them the breadth of space to grow and develop their franchise model. Our suite of business advisory team covers ancillary support services, right the way through to development workshops. Not to mention our franchise recruitment, operations manual and lead management options.
