2. What can we do for you?
We offer franchising consulting and work with any business, no matter how large or small. We
specialise in two key areas:
1. A-Z of setting up a franchise
If you have a business you want to franchise, we can take you from the initial stages right through to
recruiting your first franchisee and beyond. This involves every set-up function within your business. We
can be as involved in this process as meets your requirements, whether you simply need guidance and
expert advice throughout the process or if you want someone working with you in-house. With access to
key franchise professionals, Brand Mark Franchising can undertake a full provision of support in relation to
franchising projects within the UK and Europe.
2. Recruiting quality franchisees
Once you’re up and running as a franchise, you’re going to want to start recruiting those all-important
franchisees. We can help you with the recruitment of quality franchisees to build a strong and successful
network. We can handle the leads process for you so that you can concentrate on strengthening and
improving your franchise offering. We can help with all aspects of recruitment and retention of quality
franchisees, including single-site and area or multi-site franchisees.
With over 23 years’ experience in franchising with large brands such as KFC, Haagen Dazs, Ben & Jerry’s,

businesses, operating small and large franchise networks, recruitment of single and area franchisees,

in franchising, we’ve got experience to suit you. With flexibility in our offering, you tell us what you need and
we’ll fit around your goals.
