One of the biggest transitions to go through in creating a successful franchise is transforming from an entrepreneur into a company. As a franchisor, you must think of everything from food quality to getting your franchisees financed. Laviol's franchise services provide advice on building best-in-class franchisor management teams.
As part of our franchise services, Laviol will advise on best practices for structuring a franchise opportunity, including fee and royalty determinations, and formats available, such as single-unit, multi-unit or master franchises. Laviol partners with our brands to develop and execute franchise services that include a practical expansion plan with measurable goals.
The Laviol development team controls communication with franchise candidates from initial contact to the signing of franchise agreements, and all steps in between, including material distribution, preliminary qualification, initial real estate analysis, and Discovery Days. The Fransmart development team utilizes a proprietary, multi-step methodology to help our franchisees get qualified, understand the franchise business model, ensure all legal/compliance matters are addressed, and streamline communications between the franchisor and the prospective franchisee. Our development directors come from a vast array of backgrounds, including franchise ownership, restaurant operations, real estate, technology, and small business ownership, giving them a relevant perspective to answer questions from franchise candidates.
Laviol has connected hundreds of high quality, qualified franchisees with our portfolio brands. Typical Fransmart franchise candidates include area and master developers, experienced chain operators and high net-worth individuals. Laviol works with our brands to identify essential characteristics of target franchisees, such as financial qualifiers, business experience, personality and commitment to delivering on the brand mission.
Laviol portfolio brands must demonstrate concrete examples of corporate social responsibility
