For franchisors

Declare war on stagnation.

You only pay once your new partner has signed.

Your system works, but growth has stalled: territories stay open because the right partners are missing. We find franchisees and master franchisees, in your home market and worldwide, vet them and see them through to signature.

Your growth comes down to one question: who runs the next location?

Territories are reserved, enquiries come in, yet the contracts never get signed. Every territory left empty is a market another system can take. And every week your head office spends chasing leads is a week missing from your existing partners. We run partner recruitment as a process in its own right: search, vet, negotiate, hand over. On request, your new partners get a turnkey location from us, so they can open sooner.

  • Candidates who match your profile

    We find suitable candidates for your open territories, approach them, assess their fit and take them through to a signed contract. Your head office only ever sees candidates who match.

  • Territories filled in your order

    Open territories are filled in a sequence agreed with you. You always know which location is at which stage.

  • Open new countries through a master partner

    For new regions and countries we place master franchisees who build your system locally and lead the partners there. The usual route for brands entering a new country.

  • One point of contact from planning to handover

    We structure the entire process from target planning to the handover to your head office, and we remain your point of contact through every phase.

Who we work with

We work with systems that are already on the market. We do not develop new business models. Whether your system is ready is something we settle in the free consultation. If we see no realistic chance for your system, we tell you there.

A good fit

Your system is on the market, the first locations are running, the concept is documented and transferable, and you have open territories or a new country in your sights.

Not a fit

You have not opened your first location yet, or you are looking for someone to develop your franchise concept in the first place.

Systems we recruit partners for

  • Kaiser’s
  • Pinkberry

You only pay once your new partner has signed.

No upfront payment, no invoice before the signature. Our fee is success-based and has two parts.

  1. Part 1 · One-off

    On signing

    A commission on the entry fee your new franchisee pays to you. It falls due when the contract is signed.

  2. Part 2 · Over the agreed term

    Ongoing

    A share of the ongoing franchise fee paid by the partner we placed. We only earn over the long term if the partner is a lasting fit for your system. Term and amount are set out transparently in the contract.

The exact terms depend on your entry fee and your fee model, and they are written into the contract before we start searching. We go through them openly in the free consultation.

How we win your next partners.

Four phases in a fixed order. Each phase delivers a defined result before the next one begins. What we need from you is listed with every phase.

  1. Analysis

    We look at your system, your target territories and your current partners. From that we work out where growth makes sense and in which order.

  2. Partner profile

    Together we define who you are looking for: experience, role, financial requirements, region. The profile is the yardstick for every decision that follows.

  3. Outreach and selection

    We approach suitable candidates through our own research, targeted outreach and the enquiries from prospective founders who come to us. We hold the first conversations and assess their fit. You only see candidates who match the profile.

  4. Signing and handover

    We prepare the contract talks, support them through to signature and hand the new partner over to your head office in an orderly way. The decision and the signature are yours.

What you should know up front.

Answers for franchisors. Everything else we settle in the free consultation.

What does working with you cost us?

You only pay once a partner has signed: a commission on the entry fee and a share of the ongoing fee paid by the partner we placed. The first consultation is free, and there is no upfront payment.

For how long do you receive the share of the ongoing fee?

Term and amount are set out transparently in the contract before we start searching. We go through the structure openly with you in the first consultation.

How long does it take to find the first partner?

That depends on the sector, the region and the requirements profile. After the analysis we give you a realistic estimate, before you decide.

Where do the candidates come from?

From our own research, targeted outreach and the enquiries of prospective founders who come to us. You only see candidates who match your profile.

How much of our time does it take?

One conversation at the start, your territory plan, the alignment of the partner profile and, later on, the approval of the candidates you want to meet. Search, outreach and pre-selection are on us.

Who leads the contract talks?

You do. We prepare the talks and support them. The decision and the signatures are yours and your new partner’s.

We already recruit partners in-house. Does this still make sense?

Yes. You can hand us individual regions, or the search for a master franchisee for a new country, while your team looks after your existing partners.

We want to enter a new country where we have no presence yet. Where do we start?

Usually with a master franchisee who builds your system locally and leads the partners there. In the first consultation we look at whether your system is ready for the step abroad, and which country makes sense first.
