Which Master Franchise is for you?

There are many companies with master franchises looking for partners to spread the word and the name of their business and to get their logo and brand out there to a bigger area and a mixed demographic.

The fee is always a consideration and some are in fact low cost master franchises. One in the travel industry could be from around £3000.00 per sector or a hair salon with minimum investment £15,000 plus salon costs.

The fee structure can be as follows; for around £100,000+ new opportunities will provide the agreement for a certain period of years, finance assistance through a third party, initial training and ongoing training, fit out of the premises, equipment including tills and software and some stock. Usually this would be per unit and often a discount on the first one.

Generally with the best master franchises the company owner will send in their best store designers and visual merchandisers to share their knowledge and expertise, spend some time training the staff, have planning and marketing meetings and workshops and prepare the new one for its grand opening.

Some  opportunities are available where the owner will sell the rights to a whole region or country. For instance the best ones in coffee shops or cafés will have a fee structure and the brand owner will expect the following; fee, royalties, investment for equipment costs, provide site location and attendance at training sessions.

For this fee the franchisee will receive multi-year brand license, area exclusivity, full training, lay out plan and product supply and start up assistance.
