Important steps to
become a master franchisee

1
The financial package

Constructing a business plan is essential to validate the soundness of your project. It can be a daunting and complicated procedure, but nothing can be accomplished without it. Having opened many stores, our teams know exactly how best to develop this plan and will be able to assist you thanks to the data we hold.

2
Signing the contract

Once you've been got all the green lights, you can proceed to sign the contract. More than simply signing a document, this is about creating a genuine relationship between you and the brand. The project can now really get underway and our teams fully devote themselves. This is not a commitment to be taken on lightly, because many years of working together lie ahead and you need to be prepared.

 

3
The location

The premises are one of the most important aspects of opening your store. Location is the number one criterion because it will play a huge role in your future success. We will help you searching the best location regarding local market.

4
Constructing the showroom and the schedule

Has the contract been signed? Our teams can now get to work on your future store. Our Product and Design Offices will draw up a store proposal in line with the brand's concept. This will be presented to you in detail in order to approve each point and comply with your requests.

 

 

5
Training

85% of our partners don't have a background in kitchens. This is why we've set up the FBD Training Academy. The aim of this academy is to train your team to become real experts. You’ll learn about kitchen design, the products, sales techniques and administration, giving you everything you need to optimise your sales and manage your store well.

 

6
Communication

Finally, to ensure a successful launch of your store, you’ll need to communicate. Our teams will work on an Opening Communication Plan in order to focus attention on the opening of your store in your trading area. Our teams will suggest various advertising opportunities to you, for example the radio, posters, the press and online. The first months are the most crucial in terms of making yourself known, so you’ll need to intensify local communication to attract the first customers.
