Every business owner knows how important it is to do things right!
I have written below an example of our Full Business Franchising Package Option.
There is no magic formula to draw upon when franchising a business, it takes hard work. But, believe me there are tried-and-true methods which are cost effective for businesses. Many business owners cannot dedicate the time needed to franchise oneself, nor do they have the experience. Business franchising has its complexities, and the sheer work involved may make our Full Consulting Package an advantage and cost effective approach to franchising a businesses like yours!

DOCUMENT
PREPERATION
Franchise Agreement and Franchise Disclosure Document
We visit your location and will ask you to supply answers to questions that will help us describe your services and/or products. Based upon the information received from you and our observations, we will develop the required Franchise Disclosure Documents, Franchise Agreements, and Operations Manual. Pursuant to discussions between CKQ and American Horse, a final copy of these documents shall be prepared by us and made available for American Horse’s use.
Master & Area Development Agreements
Master & Area Developer Agreements will be created as separate documents, but the Franchise Disclosure Document and Franchise Agreement will refer to said documents as required.
Additional Forms
We will prepare these additional forms for you: Agreement of Intent, Franchisee Disclosure Questionnaire, Supplemental Information, Sales Agent Disclosure Form, and Uniform Consent to Service of Process, California State Application Forms, and Training Guideline. We will also create training and operational materials, print ads, logos, fliers, sales brochures, logo art, and franchise offering brochures.
Operations Manual
We will ask for your help in collecting and organizing your operational materials. Using these materials we will write your required Franchise Operations Manual.
CONSULTING
We Travel to your Location
We will travel to your location (myself and other team members) and begin with a Strategic Planning meeting, so that everyone involved in the preparation to franchise knows what the expected results are for the next two to three weeks. We will in this Strategic Planning meeting decide approximately how long we will be at your location, and we will assign different parts of the project to individual team members. We will advise you concerning each team member’s responsibilities and accountabilities. We will expect that you will be an integral part of this franchising project, and will be present at all meetings and provided training. When you are not available personally to be involved in the project you must provide someone with approval authority during normal business hours.
Franchising a Business will take Two to Three weeks
Franchising your business will take a two to three week period. This is the quickest we think we will complete the task, although the full consultation process will continue for years as you call to bat around ideas. We are basing this projection upon the time frame we suspect the Franchise Disclosure Document & Franchise Agreement, Franchise Operations Manual, Master Franchise Agreement, Area Developer Agreement, state specific application forms, training and operational materials, print ads, logos, fliers, sales brochures, logo art, and franchise offering brochures take to complete.
We will Create your Operations Manual
We normally assume a two week period in which the both of us (including my team) will work together to create the Operations Manual. The Table of Contents of which must be included in the franchise documents (the Operations Manual is normally written before the completion of the franchise documents, although it will take years to finish since all franchisers continue to refine their Operations Manual during their operation). We will also write the core Franchise Documents, having a draft ready for your review within 30 days.
We Create your Advertising and Operational Forms
We will create training and operational materials, print ads, logos, fliers, sales brochures, logo art, and franchise offering brochures.
The Franchise Documents will be a comprehensive set of documents exceeding federal and state requirements including nearly 300 pages, and 50,991 words! The Operations Manual will include manuals such as, a Relationship Manual, Records Manual, Basic Insurance & Legal Manual, Basic Pre & Grand Opening Manual, Basic Procedures Manual, Basic Resources Manual, and Basic Policy Manual.
We Additional Identify Proprietary Products as Income Streams
We normally assume one to two days working with you to define mission, core values, vision, strategy, internal and external threats, and identify operational issues and proprietary services/products for your franchise.
Training - The FTC Rule
We normally assume one to two days discussing the FTC Rule and the importance of compliance. This will involve especially the franchise offering and Rule compliance before the sale. You may ask anyone to join with us in this training who will be involved in running the franchise.
Training - Internet
We normally assume one day discussing your website and the internet, so please make plans to have your webmaster join us for this time. We will continue to provide consulting services concerning websites and the internet beyond the initial franchising period.
Setting-Up a Sales Process
We will accomplish all the required franchising steps including setting up a sales process. We will establish a system to gather leads, filter the results, and work the resultant prospects to the signing of the Franchise Agreement. This will include promotional strategies, scripts, presentations, website referral system, pay per click advertising, and email. This will involve some costs on your part paid directly to providers; I will consult, not direct the process. You will be free to choose methods and providers of these services. However, before you use this system you must have registered with the state and fulfilled their requirements.
Megabytes of Information
We will also supply you with megabytes of forms, and documents, which will be invaluable to you in the process of operating your franchise.
Registration States
The time it takes to finish the process of franchising in a Registration State will be totally dependent on you. The franchise documents will have to be submitted to the state along with other state specific application forms. Since this is dependent upon your accomplishing the submission of the documents (you must sign them, mail them, pay fees), and the formation of the franchising corporation (you must sign forms and pay fees), and the addition of pages to your website, I base the projection upon the time it takes my company to accomplish the specific tasks described above.
