FT will help use its expertise in franchise development by evaluating a potential client’s needs, and then planning a strategic launch specific to meeting those needs. FT will start with a detailed and frank analysis of a new concept to assess whether or not that concept can be franchised. Furthermore, FT can help with a client’s franchise sales whether in restructuring an existing sales system or if the franchise sales are outsourced entirely to the FT team.

FT takes an unbiased approach to truly helping someone on the path to franchising a business, and further helping companies develop their brands throughout the world. FT researches the concepts and the companies it takes on as clients, holding a low acceptance rate and high adherence to its own mission and values, thereby making FT and their clients the best in their class.
