SUPPORT FOR FRANCHISORS

Franchisors have specific requirements as they seek to optimise returns from businesses managed by others, as their success ultimately depends on the rapid uptake by franchisees.

Onyx work with franchisors to implement the appropriate financial controls to support the franchisee and alert the franchisor to businesses that may not be performing to expectations.

As well as implementing Business Financial Controls for each franchisee we will deliver comparison reports from across the franchise enterprise to the franchisor to ensure that pro-active investigation and remedial action can be quickly taken to protect the brand.

We will also help to address the need to finance new product development required to capture new markets and streamline costs.

Management Accounts Pack
