1. Franchise advice that works for your business.
Worldwide
Franchising
Based in the UK, but working worldwide, AMO specialises in advising businesses
on how to start up a franchise, how to grow their franchise network and (when
the time comes) how to franchise internationally.
Our goal is to help our clients businesses become profitable, sustainable and
ethical through franchising. We have the experience and to make this goal a real-
ity.
Professional History
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1981 and spent 13 years in private prac-
tice as a business advisor and corporate finance practitioner. Over the last 18
years I have developed a particular expertise in franchising and have acted for
franchisors in a variety of sectors.
An active member of the British Franchise Association (bfa), I was awarded an
honorary Qualified Franchise Professional (QFP) qualification and sit on the final
assessment panel for candidates finishing their academic study. I have been a
judge of the bfa’s annual Franchisor of the Year Awards on a number of occa-
sions.

how improvements can be made.
