Welcome to the iFranchise Group

Our consultants bring decades of experience to your franchise planning and implementation efforts. Founded on the principle that great people make great companies, the iFranchise Group delivers ample expertise to every engagement. Virtually all of our senior people have real-world experience -- having either worked for significant franchise companies and/or sold franchises -- so they know what it's like in the trenches.

Our services are primarily geared toward three markets:

• First-time franchisors: Companies seeking to franchise a business for the first time who already have developed a successful prototype and are looking to expand through franchising.
• Existing franchisors: Companies who are already franchising who are looking to improve on an established franchise system, hire personnel, increase their operating efficiency, improve quality, or boost franchise sales.
• Manufacturers-dealer/distributors: For networks currently selling through dealers or distributors, the iFranchise Group has developed a proprietary system to help increase operational control, improve brand image, and increase product sales.

Advantages of Franchising a Business

While franchising provides individual franchisees with a proven system and the support of a much larger organization, the advantages to the franchisor are even more significant:

• Lower Capital Expenditure Requirements
• Higher Return on Investment
• Risk Reduction
• Greater Speed of Growth
• Reduced Role in Day-to-Day Operations
• Highly Motivated Management and Lower Turnover Rates
• Better Quality Control
• Maximized Unit Performance
• Lean Structure
• Effective Brand Building and Advertising
• Easier International Expansion

Congratulations! You are at an important and exciting crossroads in your business development. As you contemplate whether or not franchising is the right vehicle to propel your expansion and growth, consider the following:

Successful franchising begins with several key components:

• A Brand - defined by elements such as your trademarks and service marks, your corporate look (i.e. logo, trade dress and décor), and other intangible factors that create customer loyalty and build brand equity.
• An Operating System - the proprietary combination of your products, services, marketing/ sales programs, manufacturing/production processes, operating procedures, formulas, and other elements particular to your concept that have enabled you to experience success thus far and to build and maintain customer relationships.
• A Successful Prototype - a business outlet that has been tried and tested, and will serve as the model for all future locations. Or through our Business Development services, we can assist you in developing your concept into a successful prototype.
• The Proper Resources - the leadership/management team and financial resources to provide initial and ongoing training, support, and services to franchisees.
