The TPF Process
Success in franchise ownership doesn't happen by chance. TPF’s methodical approach ensures every client's journey is complete, accurate, and has longterm success as the objective. Consequently, they have a detailed process to help clients explore franchise ownership:
Step one: Understanding Goals & Priorities:
TPF spends time with each prospective client to understand their personal and professional goals, investment capabilities, risk appetite, skill set, motivation, and experience. If franchising appears to be a potential fit, the client will move to the next step.
Step two: Franchise Matching:
Based on the client’s profile, the TPF Consultant identifies franchise opportunities that align with the client's strengths and aspirations. The client chooses the brands they want to learn more about and goes to the final step of the process.
Step three: Due Diligence:
Clients are guided through the research and validation phase, where they speak with franchiserepresentatives, reviewfranchisedisclosuredocuments (FDDs), and interview current franchise owners. This is when the clients learn everything they need to know to make an informed decision about the brand. TPF Consultants use the proprietary Six-FactorAnalysis to focus the clients on the critical information they need to learn to make an informed decision.
