What Our Clients Say About Franchise Central

I chose Brainworks because of its philosophy and methodology which is unique amongst all other tuition service providers. From my friends who are running a couple of Brainworks franchises in the west, I came to know about the demand for their services in the west and that’s why I was interested in starting a couple of centres in Melton and Caroline Springs, where they haven’t reached out yet.

My Franchisor appointed Franchise Central to mediate my purchase of the Brainworks Franchise. I have found them really helpful during the purchase. They took the time to understand my situation and provide me with appropriate advice.

I had a great experience with Franchise Central, especially Nick James during the negotiation process. Nick is a great listener and listened to all my requirements and helped me to negotiate the franchise cost and all other relevant costs with the franchisor. He also explained the legal process and always maintained clarity of information. He was really helpful and professional. I will certainly recommend Franchise Central and Nick James to others seeking assistance in buying a franchise.”

Franchise Recruitment may seem a great idea, however there are only a few who truly qualify.

4. Provide personalised service

5. Contains a 360 feedback process

6. Contains a system and process that provides an increased chance of successfully recruiting a good fit to the brand

7. Contain a comprehension of the Code of Conduct within the franchise sector – This is where problems truly begin.

The greatest standout was that we spoke directly to the Principal of Franchise Central and he remained in constant contact throughout the entire process. I was even invited to provide operational discussions with potential franchisees from early in the recruitment process, reinforcing Franchise Centrals ethos and mission to the recruitment program of quality franchisees.

From the onset , Franchise Central not only were professional with their approach, but their comprehension of the franchise relationships within a network gave a truly simulated personal appeal to the entire process

Real Fruit Ice Cream was firstly introduced to Franchise Central by our CPA accountancy practice. In due course we researched possible Franchising Entities and subsequently made our choice to accept our CPA’s recommendation.My initial meetings were with Nick James and we had very low key chats with him being able to hear of our aspirations and limitations whilst also being introduced to his extensive portfolio of his client base.

His honesty and frankness quelled any inhabitations that I may have felt or held. We shared family histories and values and over the ensuing months our report with one another both professionally and personally developed. His ability and people skills have made Real Fruit Ice Cream feel very confident that our launch and recruitment of our Franchisee Network will be very successful. Nick believes and is passionate of our products and services.

Making the choice.

I initially spoke to 2 people regarding franchising prior to Franchise Central.
The first at an exhibition, based in Brisbane. They were well organised but seemed to have a set price, quite expensive, to deliver on the model/operation manual. Legals were going to be on top of that. The second person was very helpful, and happy to discuss, though they didn’t appear to have a set plan or options.
I then contacted Franchise Central, after a first meeting a document was produced which provided a plan, the potential benefits and options regarding services and costs. The choice for Franchise Central was because of price and the ability to choose applicable options. Eg: disclosure document, franchise document, assistance with operations manual. I took some time deliberating, Nick got back to me pretty much according to my time line. Then I decided to move forward. Payment plan was also helpful.

Dealings.
Developing the documents:
The documents were produced in a timely manner and iterations were completed concisely and clearly. Good assistance for clarification during their development. We’ve been able to have friendly/fun conversation, but also frank conversation when the need arose. Franchise Central responded to my feedback In a positive way.

Since beginning advertising the franchise:
This is where Franchise Central has been a real asset in terms of their commitment to dealing with franchise enquiries, learning about franchising from them, going through the process of signing new franchisees, completion of documents. Nick’s experience has been invaluable.

I decided the franchise was the best model for my education model, in order to expand. It has been achieved though we are still working towards goals of expanding the network.
