We specialise in supporting emerging franchisors from concept to full launch and beyond.
WHY FRANCHISE
YOUR BUSINESS?
Franchising lets you scale by partnering with driven, independent business owners who invest in your brand. But doing so successfully isn’t just about having the right documentation—it’s primarily about strategy, positioning, and recruitment. That’s why we believe the real focus is to first define your “Why” to ensure you stand out in a crowded marketplace.

To understand "how to franchise my business"
Assess viability for you and your franchisees
Be distinctive as a franchisor and not follow the crowd
Refine your business into a scalable franchise model
Avoid common startup mistakes
Create a compelling brand voice and marketing that attracts ideal franchisees
Manage franchise enquiries on your behalf via our in house sales team

setting up your business to be ready to Franchise is a process. Bringing onboard your first Franchisees is an artform.
ARE YOU READY TO FRANCHISE?
The UK is a thriving market for Franchising, with businesses of all shapes and sizes jostling to find and secure Franchisees so why not work with the UK franchise experts. Many Franchises when set up are done following the same old path and the same old methods and messaging - you have to do better than this.
we help you answer the big questions, such as:
Should you franchise? Not just can you.
What makes your business franchisable? Is it replicable, profitable, and differentiated?
Can others deliver your quality? We'll help build the tools, systems, and culture to make it happen.
Who would buy it? We identify your ideal franchisee and show you how to reach them.
Is your brand strong enough? We'll position you so prospects choose you—over your competitors or going it alone.
There is lots to consider and you are undoubtedly an expert in your field, but why take a risk and try to Franchise it alone. You wouldn’t build a house without an architect…

WHAT STAGE ARE YOU AT?
it’s a vision
Do you have an idea that you believe would make a great Franchised business?
We assess your business concept and give honest feedback on its franchising potential, based on decades of experience across franchising in the UK and overseas.
a concept to convert
You have an initial concept which is thriving. It’s making money, and is a great brand.
Turning this into a Franchised business could be the best way to scale up your operations and to take your brand national. There is much to consider - running a Franchised business requires skills and experience far outside of running your own concept.
We can help outline these, put in place the processes and be an invaluable part of your team as you grow.
treading water
You’ve got all of the documentation ready… the website set up, the agreement waiting for your first few franchisees but cannot seem to sign them up.
This is the most important step, and one that is often overlooked by consultants. Posting your business on a handful of sites and waiting for the enquiries to roll in is not a viable strategy anymore. The World has moved on, and so have your competition.
We help you identify who your ideal franchisees are, where they are, and help you to proactively go get them.
THE KINDLING WAY
we are proudly different in the way that we work.
Your business is unique - so why would you settle for a copy and paste franchise model that doesn’t truly reflect your story and your vision for the future?
We believe you deserve better. This is how we do it…
