Franchise Business Advice

One of the biggest pressure points in franchising is transparency, especially when it comes to how franchisee royalties are spent. If your network contributes to areas like national marketing, franchisees expect clarity and reassurance that those funds are being used effectively. We help franchisors build trust through clear reporting and open communication, so everyone stays aligned on value and delivery.

In some markets, like the US, statutory audits are a legal requirement to support that transparency. While the UK where regulations differ, we can still provide assurance services that help you stay compliant, credible, and in control. Whether you’re scaling or simply tightening up your internal processes, we’ll make sure your revenue model works for you.

Consistency is the heartbeat of any successful franchise. When every location sticks to the same model, the brand stays strong, and trusted. That’s why franchisors lean on us to deliver a uniform, high-quality service across their network. By acting as a preferred or even mandatory accounting provider, we ensure every franchisee receives the same level of advice, support, and financial clarity.

From standardised charts of accounts to consistent reporting structures and benchmarking tools, we help you create a rock-solid foundation that franchisees can follow and grow with. It’s about more than numbers. It’s about protecting your brand, supporting your people, and giving everyone the confidence to deliver the same great experience, everywhere.

Every franchisor hits the same challenge: how do you grow fast without losing grip on quality, performance, or brand standards? That’s where we come in. We provide the financial insights and data to help you make confident, informed decisions. Whether that’s setting the right royalty percentages, adjusting franchise fees, or deciding how many sites one individual should operate.

By giving you clear, consistent reporting across the network, we help you spot trends, manage risk, and stay in control as you scale. It’s not about slowing growth, it’s about growing smart, with the right structure and safeguards in place to protect your business and your brand.

Taking your franchise global is a big leap, but you don’t have to do it alone. We work with franchises across the world and can tap into our growing international network to give you the insights, contacts, and compliance support you need to scale with confidence.

Whether you’re entering the UK market or looking to expand overseas, we’ve got the local knowledge and global reach to guide you. From structuring and tax to reporting and cross-border consistency, we help you stay ahead of the detail so you can stay focused on the big picture.

First impressions count and a strong start sets the tone for a successful franchise relationship. That’s why we go beyond the numbers to support new franchisees from day one.

We can join training days, run webinars, and provide guides to make onboarding smooth and stress-free. We even support business plans and forecasts to help secure bank funding.

In some cases, we’ve been involved right at the recruitment stage, helping to convert prospective franchisees by showing them the level of support and guidance they’ll get once they’re in. It’s about giving them (and you) peace of mind that they’re not going it alone.

Cash is king – especially in a franchise model where growth, stability, and performance all hinge on getting the numbers right. We support franchisors with setting appropriate fee levels, building sustainable growth targets, and modelling the financial impact of scaling the network.

For franchisees, we’re right there too, helping to shape business plans, secure borrowing, and plan for multi-unit expansion. Whether it’s day-one funding or long-term financial strategy, we bring clarity and confidence to the cash conversation.

Every sector wrestle with employment tax, VAT, and general compliance headaches, but in franchising, those issues can quickly multiply. From PAYE to pensions, input VAT to flat rates, we help you stay on top of it all, avoiding costly surprises and keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

It’s just another way our tax expertise shines through. We understand the nuances, we stay ahead of the curve, and we translate complexity into clear, actionable advice – so you can focus on the business, not the red tape.
