Blackstone Hathaway provides professional solutions for every franchise situation. Our franchise management team can do everything from turning your business into a franchise to creating franchise models and evaluating your current franchise concept.
If we decide to work together, we will provide you with the resources and services necessary to franchise your business. Our franchise services can be designed to fit your budget.

If you select the master licensing program, you will share in the future revenue stream from the franchising activities for the term of the franchise agreement. These agreements generally require little or no capital investment from you. We make the necessary investment to grow your business through franchising.

If you require only franchise consulting, we design a fee schedule that fits your financial situation.

Research the Market

We will research other businesses, franchised and non-franchised concepts, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and position your franchise offering for success in the market place.

Business Plan Development

We find most businesses do not have a written business plan. If they do, it is usually in the file cabinet or on a bookshelf in their office. We believe the probability of success is significantly reduced if a business plan is not developed and followed.

We will craft a business plan specifically for your company, including how to build and manage a franchise support services department, the sales and marketing plan and the franchise compliance systems. We will determine the right pace of franchise expansion and the management team you will need to support growth and develop financial projections that will drive the growth of the business.

Franchise Documents

We use knowledgeable franchise attorneys to develop the Franchise Agreement and the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular.

The Franchise Agreement defines the relationship between the franchiser and its franchisees. Our agreements are state-of-the-art, incorporating all of the latest aspects of franchise law. They are crafted to protect the franchiser and provide carefully drafted terms under which franchisees can use the brand and the operating system of the franchiser.

Regulatory Filings

We will handle the complete process required in working with state regulatory authorities to obtain the necessary approvals from state agencies before we begin awarding franchises.

Franchise Model Documentation

We will draft manuals that document your existing systems, procedures, and controls to conform to a franchise model. These manuals make it easy for franchisees to follow procedures and to operate their businesses as efficiently as possible.

Franchise Marketing Strategies

We will research the market and design the marketing model and strategies needed to successfully expand the franchise concept. We will also draft a separate marketing plan to determine the best ways to find the right franchisees. Good franchisees are the oil that makes the franchise engine run smoothly.

Board of Director/Advisor Services

With our extensive contacts within the franchise community and our experience in formulating, launching and managing franchise companies we understand the value of good management teams, advisors and Board of Directors.

We provide an advisory service for our clients in establishing a Board of Directors or Board of Advisors. Our services include finding and recruiting board members as well as assisting you overseeing your Board, including but not limited to managing board meetings, developing and implementing corporate resolutions and with the corporate governance process, which cannot be under estimated in the current business environment.

We work with new and existing franchise companies to determine what the best strategy is for expansion by using one of the following growth models:

Direct sales to individual franchisees.

Direct sales to multi-unit franchisees.

Use of franchise consulting and broker networks.

Area Development licensing programs.

Area Franchising licensing programs.

Master Franchising licensing program.

We also can design, prototype and manage complete Area Franchising licensing for emerging franchise companies and structure this without a significant investment by the company.

Whatever the strategy is for growing your franchise system, we can help.

We will evaluate your business concept to determine what is needed to franchise your business. We structure the controls and procedures and an operating system to meet the rigorous standards in franchising.

We design the financial terms of your franchise agreement (initial franchise fees, royalties, advertising fees, etc. ) and structure the guidelines for the franchiser/franchisee relationship.
