Is a great business structure enough for success?
Many franchise companies out there have built their success on a solid business structure that can be duplicated and easily implemented by others. So why is it that even with a proven structure that works, and generates money, that franchisors are faced with the problems of underperforming franchisees and have to work so hard to keep the good ones pushing for more?
In the same breath it can be said that now more than ever franchisees are looking for the franchisor to add even more value to the franchise package and the key, number one concern for potential franchisees (even before money in some cases) is how much support will I get to help me.
Intelligence Plus is an independent solution that is designed specifically to solve both these issues with a simple and highly effective low cost solution that offers not only ongoing support, development, coaching and training but also vital face to face time with industry experts.
Nigel Toplis (former Chairman of the British Franchise Association) has recognised the vital need that Intelligence Plus fulfils and the unique way in which they achieve this.
"You might find online help and maybe some face to face consultancy out there but nothing has gone far enough until now. Intelligence Plus is different in my opinion because they draw on a wide range of experts and not only have a web facility (www.IntelligencePlus.co.uk) for the franchisee to use but more importantly they give access to one on one advice and clinics that would be beyond most franchisees means normally." Mr. Toplis goes on to say, "I am impressed that they have thought about this problem from every angle and even offer the franchisor the ability to white label their service to become a seamless part of their own offering to potential franchisees. This makes it a very valuable addition for nearly all franchisors."
There are a number of organisations in talks with Intelligence Plus at this time including two of the major banks that see the difference this will make to franchise business success. Vodafone have already offered their support and further blue chip association looks to continue with Intelligence Plus' success.
Intelligence Plus is designed to help develop the skills and abilities of business working from grass routes right through to successful business growth. Intelligence Plus is working with Young Enterprise to introduce the service for free to the next generation of business owners. The service is also free to schools, colleges and charitable organisations.
