Consulting
TBD
With this option, your RYG analysis is free. Using it as the backbone of our engagement, we will consult with you on a short term (6-12 months average) 1-on-1 arrangement to get you the mindset, strategy, & resources you need to launch your franchise. Every approach is unique but there are industry standards you will need to establish as well. We meld these elements and curate your custom franchise launch.
As with most any consulting engagement, the rate for this service is based on myriad factors, including length, frequency, and frankly, degree of difficulty. We offer both monthly and retainage based proposals. We will include a proposal in our RYG summary upon request.
*This is a bespoke service. We limit the number of clients we work with in any given quarter. There are times we are too busy and times when we know there is another group better suited to help you. We will gladly refer to one of our many resources.
**There is never any contractual commitment. You may cancel at any time. There are no refunds if you decide to cancel premature of your billing date.
Other Services
The Franchise Ready Roundtables are a weekly virtual masterminds group for all aspiring franchisors and micro-emerging franchisors under 10 units. We discuss topics here and address individual problems in real time.
We will run our RYG analysis for you for a one time cost and present the results with recommendation for you to do what you wish. The results are yours to keep! Use it to continue on alone or bring it to another advisor. We're often referred by advisors as a prerequisite starting point for their services.
We offer a series of group oriented courses designed to bring attendees through the strategies, steps, and pitfalls of a franchise startup. Structured on an ad-hoc basis, attendees can sign up for any or all of the courses.
DID YOU KNOW? Franchise industry development services (marketing, legal, sales, accounting, etc.) are often 3x-10x the cost of same services outside the industry because service providers target large franchise systems with large franchise budgets.
Testimonials
I'm so glad I took the RYG assessment. It showed me everything I wasn't willing to look at with my business and that would have completely impeded my ability to franchise. I've decided not to franchise (at least at this time) and I thank Chris @ Franchise Ready for saving me time, money, and heartache I wasn't ready to invest. Stan - PC Devo
There's no one I trust more to review and advise small businesses on the cusp of franchising than Franchise Ready. And I love that they don't necessarily advise long term. It eliminates the conflict of taking on a client for the revenue. Their business is assessments and they stay true to that. But help in so many other ways too! - Hilary Dolby - Fractional CFO / FR Top Collaborator.
As someone who is very immersed into franchising, I get a lot of people asking about whether they should franchise their business. I automatically send them to Franchise Ready as a source I trust to help them ensure they have clarity about what they need to do and then how to do it! - Angela Cote @ ACinc.
Well worth the money for what I learned about myself and my business. Yes I have a successful business. No, I am not ready to franchise. Yes, I can put the pieces in place to change that. Franchise Ready and their RYG assessment was enlightening. I'm pretty sure I saved hundreds of thousands of dollars and have a clear path forward. Dan C. @ Mosquito Tick Away
When we started franchising our original business, we did not have a tool to help us determine our readiness, and therefore we had to slow down our focus on growth and few times to address these gaps. It's a lot easier to build out systems for things before you have franchisees, so you can keep happy franchisees and a steady growth trajectory. Working with Franchise Ready will help you identify your roadmap to success - Jen Cutillo @ Zorward Consulting
What's Next
Step 1
A free 20 minute call that will allow us to get to know each other. We'll walk you through our process and engagement structure. If it's all reasonable to you, we move forward together.
Step 2 - RYG Assessment
Following our introductory call, you'll fill out our proprietary RYG Assessment questionnaire to get us a baseline of where you are with your company and it's foundation for franchising.
Step 3
We review all the details of your assessment and work with you to gain context on your responses. This includes everything from your leadership team characteristics to your business model, operation, revenue, expense, capital, marketing, and everything in between.
Step 4
We share the results of the analysis with you. Equal parts quantitative and qualitative, the RYG analysis indicator will paint an accurate picture of where you are and what you have to work on.
Step 5 (if needed)
This is where some clients decide to stay where they are and continue running their successful business. Others wish to start or continue building their franchise foundation with us.
