Proper communication structures are the lifeline of cooperation. Koelewijn & Partners assists franchises to determine the amount of participation and influence of franchisees. We advise you about the franchise council, franchise association and commissions and we support you in questions such as:

• How do I organise the influence of my franchisees
• How do I set up a proper franchise council without setting up a culture of endless meetings
• Who becomes the chairperson: myself, one of the franchisees or is it better to choose an external party?

Franchisees are entrepreneurs and want to participate in the decision making processes. Proper communication is crucial to the success of the franchise formula. How do you set up a proper participatory system without creating a culture of endless meetings? Koelewijn & Partners assists you in setting up and maintaining a franchise council. Our role often consists of being an independant chairperson, inspirator and advisor.

Franchising does good to many entrepreneurs. However, sometimes cooperation leads to differences of opinion. Because Koelewijn & Partners supports both franchisors as well as franchisees, we are very capable of fulfilling the role of mediator. This prevents expensive procedures with lawyers and leads to results more quickly.

The succes of your franchise is determined for a large part by the interactions between you and the franchisees. Satisfied franchisees lead to growth in the number of locations, high productivity and a positive impression towards customers and employees.

When your franchise grows, the internal communications often grow exponentially as well. This necessitates franchisors to regularly revise the agreements surrounding internal communication. Koelewijn & Partners enables you to stay ahead of many problems surrounding internal communications. We are experienced in achieving this and possess practical instruments through the intranet of FranchiseNet.
