Franchise support

Support for the people actually running the shops

Franchise Hub publishes what is moving in South African franchising. Support is the paid side of that: working directly with an operator on the decisions the data points at. It is scoped and priced separately, and it never changes what this site publishes about your brand.

What support covers

Before you sign

Due diligence

Reading the agreement and the disclosure document against what the Brand Index, the Playbook and the published cost lines actually show. What the setup cost leaves out, what the territory clause really gives you, and what the site has to turn over before the deal works at all.

Once you are trading

Operations

Your cost lines against the ones we publish. Labour, rent to turnover, electricity and water, menu pricing, and where your basket sits against the brands trading around you.

When you exit

Valuation and sale

Preparing the business, agreeing a range you can defend across a table, and running a private sale through the Marketplace at half a standard broker’s commission.

How it works

Step one

Tell us what you are dealing with

One email describing the business and the decision in front of you. No form and no account, so nothing about you is stored on this site to make an enquiry.

Step two

We say whether we can help

Sometimes the answer is that the Playbook, the Brand Index and the free tools already cover it. You will be told that rather than sold something.

Step three

Scope and price in writing

Agreed before any work starts. There is no rate card on this page because the work varies too much for one to be honest, and a made-up number is still a made-up number.

Where this sits against the journalism

Independence

Coverage is not for sale

Buying support does not change what the Brief, the Brand Index or any benchmark says about your brand. Every figure is collected the same way whoever is paying, and the method is published so you can check.

No trade

Support is not a route to coverage

Editorial is not bundled into a support engagement, and support is not sold off the back of a piece. If either is what you are after, this is the wrong site.

Disclosure

We say when we have worked with you

Where we publish about a business we have supported, the piece carries that on it, in the same place every figure carries its source.

Start with an email

Tell us the business, the format and the decision in front of you. You will get an honest answer on whether this is worth paying for, and a scope and a price in writing before anything begins.
