An invitation to join the FDS franchise consultancy team

Build you own highly successful six-figure franchise consultancy business

Established in 1981, Franchise Development Services (FDS) is a one-stop shop for potential and existing franchisors, as well as those who wish to buy a franchise. As members of both the British Franchise Association (bfa) and the International Franchise Association (IFA), FDS is pledged to uphold the high standards demanded by both professional bodies and is at the forefront of all areas of franchise development.

Well known throughout the franchise industry at home and abroad, FDS already has a number of successful franchise owners selling and delivering the entire range of FDS consultancy services, and is now looking for franchise owner candidates to continue its nationwide expansion programme.

If you can communicate genuine enthusiasm, show your prospects the possibilities beyond the current boundaries of their business, enjoy helping people to realise their dreams and expand their business horizons, then you can train to become a professional FDS Franchise Consultant – a career and business that you will be extremely proud of.

Your ability to think differently, to see a business for what it can become rather than what it is, to show your prospects that the franchise route is the safest, quickest and most cost effective way of taking a business and building it into a national brand – these are the qualities that we can take and build into professional franchise consultancy. We will teach you how to professionally explain and deliver franchise consultancy and how to ensure long term success.

For an investment of £45,000, successful candidates will receive detailed initial and ongoing training both at the Norwich head office and in the field, a comprehensive business plan, access to the FDS systems and databases and full marketing support.

"Being an FDS Consultant has enabled me to not only provide initial consultancy in preparation for launching a new franchise, but through our in-house FDS media to also help generate quality prospects for the purchase of the franchise. In this way, I have the satisfaction of both initial and ongoing involvement. Also, as a member of the FDS team, I have the pleasure of relating to colleagues at head office, in the regions and internationally. In this way I can draw from the expertise of others, enjoy FDS workshops together and benefit from giving and receiving within the FDS 'family'."
Gordon Patterson, FDS Franchise Consultant
