Becoming a franchisee

For franchisees

For entering, running, and selling a franchise business

You have made the decision for yourself to become a franchisee. The advantages of this are that as a franchisee, you take on less risk than an independent startup, since the franchise formula has already proven itself. Franchising combines the best of both worlds. It combines the benefits of small-scale entrepreneurship with the advantages of a large-scale business. Your entrepreneurship is reflected, for example, in good personnel management, daily operations, and local marketing.

As a franchisee, in most cases, you will receive a franchise agreement with a term of 5 years. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly research in advance whether the franchise formula of your choice suits you. Once you decide to become a franchisee for a formula, the legal process also begins. This can be quite challenging, especially if you have no experience with it. Therefore, Koelewijn & Partners regularly supports franchisees by reviewing the franchise contract, after which appropriate advice can be given. If you aspire to become a master franchisee, we can also advise and support you in this. We do this based on experience in the master franchise model and accumulated international experiences.

Even if you have been a franchisee for a long time, Koelewijn & Partners can assist you. For example, in setting up or supporting the franchise association, but also when the collaboration between franchisor and franchisee(s) no longer works properly.

When you decide to sell your business, various issues may arise that you have no experience with. Consider the valuation, what is your business worth? This is a difficult question to answer and requires professional help. To ensure that you sell your franchise business for the right price and that the sales process runs smoothly, you need the right advice before and during the sale. Koelewijn & Partners can help you with this and offers tailored support, so that you sell your company with confidence.

In short, Koelewijn & Partners can, with years of experience, provide you as a franchisee with advice and support in all desired areas.
