Franchise Consultant: The Roles and Responsibilities With the ups and downs of the market and uncertainty affecting every industry, many people are searching for security. For would-be business owners, that can mean turning to a franchise rather than starting their own business, as a franchised business is one that comes with a proven track record and a built-in support system. Others, tired of losing money in the stock market, are interested in buying a business or franchise with their retirement funds.

Someone who is interested in purchasing a franchise may be familiar with the roles of the franchisor and the franchisee, but in researching franchises, they will likely come across what might be a less familiar term:

franchise consultant.

In addition, there are also small business owners who are interested in franchising--that is, they would like to take their existing small business and turn it into a franchise, becoming franchisors themselves. To do this, many will work with franchise consultants. This is where a Profran Consultants franchise consultant enters the scene. Even though you are not doing the development work, you are answering the initial questions and explaining the process in building a franchise system and network.

So, what does a Profran Consultants consultant do? That depends on whether they are working with franchisees, franchisors, or someone that requires funding for their project or business. A Profran Consultants franchisee wears several hats.
