Our Services
From beginning to exit, FranLaunch USA is designed to be a complete resource for your franchise expansion. How do we do it?
What We Do – How We Do It
Because we’re a management firm as opposed to a consulting firm, we occasionally get some head scratching when we explain our services. But think of it this way – Franchisors need experience and capital to succeed. International concepts have immigration issues coming into the States, or require in-country experience they may not have. You need a team to do it for you. It’s incredibly expensive to do it on your own.
What if you could find someone that has the track record in franchising and access to investment capital you need to get you to the finish line? We know the answer to that question, and we’re betting you’ll come to see it as well.
Candidate franchisors must have a unique concept. International franchisors need an established track record in their home country and a strong training and support model before considering the USA. In some cases, we may offer you a partnership opportunity. Once approved, we craft a. launch plan that includes a complete vision and mission document, benchmarks and team expectations. Only then do we launch and begin selling & supporting franchisees. It’s all part of our PACE Method of U.S. expansion. Planning, Adaptation, Commitment, Expertise. All four elements go toward making sure we create more than just a launch – we create a highly competitive franchise offering.

Venture Capital
We strive to help you in all areas of your business. This means being able to connect you to the country’s best and most strategic capital partners. Venture partners generally get involved early on in a project, taking a larger stake to offset their risk. There are myriad partners to consider and having the right one for your concept when you need it is our goal.
Private Equity
Private equity has been very active in U.S. franchising over the last 10-15 years due to their interest in concepts with strong systems and proven franchise industry management. If this path interests you, we’ll recommend developing a P/E relationship well before you’re ready to execute. We’ll make the introduction and help to assure that the right elements are nurtured as you expand your concept in the U.S or globally.
