For franchisors and emerging franchise brands

Franchise sales and recruitment services in Canada.

Build a clear path from a franchise inquiry to a qualified candidate. Franchise Starters helps brands develop their opportunity, organize their prospect pipeline and coordinate the sales process.

Make franchise development a structured process.

Selling a franchise involves more than generating leads. A brand needs a defined candidate profile, credible opportunity materials, a consistent qualification process and the resources to support the franchisees it brings into the system.

Opportunity and candidate strategy

Define the franchisee profile, priority markets, territory approach and the information a candidate needs to evaluate the opportunity. Align sales plans with operating and support capacity.

Franchise marketing and CRM

Develop opportunity materials, inquiry forms and a CRM workflow to record prospects, assign follow-ups and track where each candidate stands.

Qualification and sales coordination

Support candidate screening, discovery meetings, franchise sales activity and coordination with counsel on disclosure and agreements.

Support for new and existing franchisors

An emerging brand may first need its operating model, training and support systems prepared. An established franchisor may need a stronger inquiry process, clearer candidate criteria or help executing its franchise development plan.

Franchise sales questions

Can FSG help franchise my existing business?
Yes. The first step is understanding whether the operating model can be repeated and supported. Franchise development and sales work can then be scoped around the business’s stage.
Do these services help franchisors recruit franchisees?
Yes. This service is for brands building and managing their franchise network. Scope may include marketing materials, prospect tracking, qualification and sales activities.
How are franchise sales services priced?
FSG quotes the engagement based on the required work. Some relationships may be structured as an ownership partnership by mutual agreement.
Are franchise sales or openings guaranteed?
No. Candidate demand, the strength of the opportunity and the ability to execute all matter. An area development agreement also does not mean all contracted locations have opened.
