The first step is for the franchisor to conduct extensive market research to determine if their business concept is suitable for franchising. They assess the demand for their products or services in various locations and identify potential target markets.

Understand the specific regulations and requirements for operating an education-related franchise in the target regions. Ensure compliance with educational standards, licensing, and any other legal obligations.

The franchisor creates a comprehensive business model that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both the franchisor and franchisee. This model includes details about the initial investment required, ongoing fees, training and support provided, and the operational guidelines.

Franchising involves several legal agreements, including the Franchise Agreement. The Franchise Agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which the franchisee operates the business.

The franchisor typically handles national or regional marketing and advertising efforts to promote the brand. However, local marketing support may also be provided to help franchisees promote their individual locations.

Once the franchisee is satisfied with the terms and conditions, both parties sign the Franchise Agreement, legally binding them to the terms outlined in the contract.

The franchisee follows the business model and guidelines provided by the franchisor, while the franchisor continues to offer support and monitor performance.

The franchisor maintains an ongoing relationship with franchisees through regular communication, updates, and periodic visits to ensure compliance with standards and to address any concerns.

Franchise agreements typically have a set duration (e.g., 5 to 10 years). After the initial term, both parties may have the option to renew the agreement. If the franchise is successful, the franchisor may also consider offering expansion opportunities to existing franchisees.
