3 important questions to ask before hiring a franchise consultant

Deciding to invest in a franchise business is exciting, but it also requires plenty of forethought, planning, and research. One of the easiest ways to ensure a strategic transition into the industry is by hiring a consultant. With so many companies out there to choose from, how can you make sure you’re getting the best help available? We recommend asking three specific questions.

Question #1 – Could you tell me about your industry experience? You want to work with a franchise consulting team that is familiar with the tools and skills it takes to succeed in the industry. Someone who has been in business for at least 10 years has been around long enough to see the good times and the bad. They’ll also be able to alert you to key industry insights and information that can help you avoid common mistakes and pitfalls.

Question #2 – Do you provide training and educational resources for your franchisees? If you’re new to the world of franchising, there’s a bit of a learning curve. Choose a partner that provides all of its franchisees with educational resources. The more you learn about operating a franchise business, the better.

Question #3 – Are you familiar with current industry trends and developments? Just like other industries, the world of franchising is constantly evolving. Knowing what customers want and how to maximize your efficiency via the help of new technologies can help keep you ahead of the competition. A top quality franchise consultant should be able to provide you with current industry insights and will also have a knowledge of what to expect in the future.
