Initial Assessment By Ashton Franchise Consulting

The golden thread that runs through every brand that our team has developed into a successful franchise is that they have all started with laying solid foundations. This begins with a comprehensive data gathering by our leading franchise consultants and the creation of the assessment and Outline Franchise Development Business Plan.

Why Carry Out An Assessment?

If you are looking to franchise your business, this is the most important investment in the process of setting up a franchise. The twin goals of the analysis are for AFC franchise consultants to study the business and its market and to identify what modifications may be required to ensure its smooth transfer to a franchise concept.

The analysis by our franchise consultants will identify the operation's systems, corporate strengths and relevance in other markets. There will be aspects that are vital to the success of the business which should be built into the franchise concept. There will be elements that must be removed or amended to ensure that the franchise relationship is fair and profitable. There will also be elements that will not affect the franchise either way. The analysis will recommend whether the latter be included or removed depending on the competing costs involved.

AFC Franchise Consultants

When you commission an AFC franchise consultant to conduct an initial assessment, we consider all aspects of your business. Having identified the best way to proceed (there are normally three ways of how to franchise your business), we then outline the work programme and budget requirements. This thorough process will allow you to reach a highly informed decision and identify the most practical and profitable route for the benefit of your own company, as well as your future franchisees.

Normally within three to four weeks, a AFC franchise consultant will meet you to present and discuss a detailed considerations report, this will help you to crystallise your thinking in all of the essential areas that will be developed to ensure that your franchise achieves your goals. This valuable work programme has been delivered to clients throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australasia.
