It is sadly sometimes the case that a Franchisee tries to pull the wool over a Franchisor's eyes, possibly working on the side using the Franchise business to avoid paying dues. We work with a number of Franchise companies to provide a solution to the problem
Nearly all Franchise operations work well with a good relationship between Franchisor and Franchisee, especially if the Franchisor is a member of such as the British Franchise Association
On occasions that relationship is abused by the Franchisee. We obtain the evidence you as a Franchisor will need to terminate the contract, and possibly seek redress
One example is a longstanding client of ours who operates 100+ franchisees Nationally throughout the United Kingdom
The company support their franchisees with marketing and material support; they also collate sales and performance data, which will flag a poorly performing franchisee. This may be an indicator of dishonesty
Their sales and performance data shows who is performing and who is not; while there may be legitimate reasons for the latter it can suggest some misdoing
Once every six months or so we will be tasked to routinely watch the day to day activity of what is often the poorest performing franchisee. It is almost inevitable that when we report back showing addresses visited, and work done, that it does not tally with the reports the franchisee submits, work being done 'on the side' (using the franchisors marketing and resources) and the proceeds pocketed
In the subsequent performance interview, when our evidence is presented to the franchisee, either a second chance may be given, or more commonly, the franchisor has grounds to terminate the franchise arrangement
This does of course enable the Franchisor to not only legitimately resell the franchise but to restore the work revenues they should have been receiving
There is also a further advantage in that the message is quielty put out to other franchisees that, while their Franchisor may be a co-operative partner, they will not accept dishonesty
We work Nationally throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe. To explore possibilities further, or to arrange a meeting either at your head Office or by telephone / Zoom, talk to us regardless of whatever stage matters have reached
