DISCOVER HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
FRANCHISE YOUR BUSINESS
Making strategic and informed choices for long term profitability.

Deciding to franchise your business and how to do that is one of the most critical choices you will make as a business owner.

The benefits of franchising your business are:

• Fast growth and development.

• Less capital investment than other types of growth.

• Less direct human resource requirement .

Greater accountability and personal investment from franchisees who operate as business owners instead of managers.

However, these obvious benefits are underpinned by critical decision making that can easily be the difference between the success or failure of the whole, including your original organisation.

We treat the development of a franchise with the integrity and detailed approach of a new business. That means recognising the franchise model as an entity in its own right, and not simply carbon copies of the parent organization. It also means choosing representatives and locations with precision and focus, as well as creating a strategic approach to short and long term goals and practical considerations for sustainable development and profitability.

BUY A FRANCHISE
Finding the right model to help you achieve your goals.

For those looking to be in charge of their own business and take control of their work and lifestyle, buying a franchise has clear advantages.

If it’s done correctly, the benefits are:

• A strong support system for you and your business.
• A proven business model that someone else has tried and tested.
• Saving money in set up time and costs.
• An established brand name and reputation.

However, choosing a franchise to buy into is not as simple as looking for the best known or most prevalent. Equally, if you know a franchise in one part of the world and want to bring it to another, it’s not as simple as transplanting it; a common misconception.

When buying a franchise, there are a lot of things to consider. From what works near you to the support that the franchisor offers, and analysing the details of the franchise programme including its profitability.

While large franchise brands may appeal because you’ve heard of them and they have a proven model, sometimes it’s newer franchise models, with fewer locations, that will provide the best support and opportunities for growth because they have a greater vested interest in the success of your business.

At Mayfair Franchise, we understand where franchises fail and succeed, and we work with you to understand what you want to do, how you want to work, and to find the best partnership for you.

SELL YOUR FRANCHISE
Making your time and money work for you.

The most common problem amongst companies looking to sell franchises is not generating a good volume of leads, but generating the right type of leads. This leads to very low conversion rates.

The result is:

• Money wasted on ineffective marketing.

• And time wasted on the wrong type of leads.

We work with you to get to know your business, generating an intuitive understanding of the criteria that you require in your franchisees. We will review any existing sales processes and recruitment systems. Then we will devise a programme that will generate qualified leads and enhance your franchise on-boarding process. All the while we will work with you on due diligence and other key factors in the sales process.

We will then generate exposure and filter the potential franchisees that fit your criteria before sending them on to you.

For this service we do not charge an up front fee, but are paid on commission only.

FOUNDER

FAHIM KHAN VFP

Director

Mayfair Franchise was founded by Fahim Khan VFP, who is an expert in setting up franchise systems, financial modelling and negotiating franchise offerings.

During his career as a franchise consultant, Fahim has had extensive franchising experience with brands around the world and has previously worked for one of the world's leading and largest franchise firms. While his personal passion is for helping smaller organisations to establish themselves in the franchise market, he is experienced working with businesses of all sizes up to an initial investment of US $500 million, and has been the lead franchise consultant creating franchise strategies that have sold for up to $160.6 million.

Fahim started his franchising career at the grassroots level of one of the largest and most successful franchises in the world, McDonald's, where he became the youngest manager of the region at the age of 17. As a result, his understanding of the franchising industry runs from top-level management and strategy all the way through to daily, on the ground operations, making for a clear and detailed vision of what leads to success and failure in franchise systems.

Having earned a Bachelor's degree in IT (with distinction) and a Masters Degree in Business Management, since then he has personally supported more than 60 international brands, with a total of 200 collective branches around the world, to either set up franchise systems or sell franchises.

He has experience with brands from the UK, Portugal, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Canada, Turkey, Mauritius and Hawaii, and has also worked in a range of industries. These include food and beverage, retail, education, health and beauty, spa and leisure, fitness and sport, water sports, theme parks and entertainment, spa and beauty, pet care, cleaning and property.

Fahim is accredited by The Quality Franchise Association as a Verified Franchise Professional. VFP accreditation requires holders to meet stringent criteria and demonstrates the holder's high level of franchising knowledge and expertise. The accreditation is approved after an assessment of the individual's background and experience, requiring them to show the ability to demonstrate franchising knowledge and skills attained through practical experience.

He is also a member of the Executive Board of Advisors of the company, Stochos.

TESTIMONIALS

As a Project Manager, I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Fahim Khan on constructing the ‘Franchise Strategy’ for one of the hospitals I co-lead in the UAE. Fahim’s role entailed the franchise set up and the strategic recommendations of the Hospital’s growth via franchising. My experience working with Fahim was no less than thrilling, as I have found him to be inspiring and energetic! Fahim’s subject matter knowledge, attention to detail, instinctive professional creativity and passion brought about a Quality Product. And just as important, I found Fahim to be a professional who adheres to optimum ethical standards. With great confidence, I recommend Fahim wholeheartedly and trust that he will serve any role with distinction.

As the project leader, I worked closely with Fahim when developing the franchise program for Global Village. I found Fahim extremely knowledgeable and experienced in franchising terms. His understanding of our business was phenomenal, and it was clear that he did his thorough research. Fahim also possesses excellent financial knowledge and impressed us with his financial modelling skills. I found him very well composed throughout the project and especially when presenting to our board of directors. I have no hesitation in recommending Fahim to anyone who needs franchising assistance, as he can deliver a project of any capacity given that he has worked with us on the biggest franchise offering in the Middle East and arguably one of the biggest in the world.

Working with Fahim was extremely beneficial to me and my business. His consulting professionalism was impressive, he explained the whole process thoroughly and efficiently, ultimately heightening my market understanding when I didn’t have much knowledge about franchising. He had a very honest and dedicated approach, always patient and catering to times of availability from my side. After all the meetings, I felt like an expert!
