We are aware of the sensitivities and are able to take into consideration both the targets of the franchisor as well as the interests of the franchisees.
Realizing locations
A common use of project management is the realization of new retail locations. Koelewijn & Partners are able to assist in this or we can even take it completely off your hands. We are aware of the relevant issues in realizing retail locations. This ensures that every franchisee is off to a successful start.
Assessment of locations
You have spotted a specific new location for your organization? Koelewijn & Partners is able to assess the potential of the location. We pay attention to the size of the area the store is able to service, the quality of the location, local competition, success factors, financial viability as well as investments- and exploitation budgets.
Financing
Starting franchises often do not have a financing arrangement with a bank. However, as soon as the first franchisees are getting ready to start, Koelewijn & Partners can support franchisors and franchisees in setting up the financial agreements. We have close contacts with the relevant banks in the Netherlands. This can make our support decisive in getting the necessary financing. Also when franchise organizations are growing, we are able to support franchisors in getting an arrangement which results in visible benefits to the franchisees.
