TYPES OF FRANCHISE EXPANSION MODELS
You may begin your journey with ICFDS by choosing one of three pathways, each one requiring a different level of involvement, resources or expertise.
Master Franchise
The larges and the most sought after is the Master Franchise. It is available for those who are not only financially qualified but also business savvy and dream of impacting an entire country.
Your responsibilities will be to:
- expand the subfranchising network across the entire country
- assist in the business development of your franchisees
- maintain the highest level of training within your territory
- promote the brand nationwide
Apart from the obvious benefits, one that stands out is the ability to leave behind a lasting legacy and shape the face of football in your country.
Area Developer
If you dream big, however, your resources are temporarily limited, perhaps you will be interested in taking care of a selected region. Depending on a country you are from this could range from a multimillion metropolitan area to province, county or the state.
Regardless of your choice, your responsibilities will be similar to the one of Master Franchisor. Nevertheless, you will also be encouraged to operate locally and deliver classes as the sub-franchisee.
Sub-Franchisee
If your passion is to coach and experience the smile on children’s faces, look no further and become one of our sub-franchisees.
This option entails a reasonable investment level and does not require a business degree to succeed.
Your goals and responsibilities will be to:
- promote the brand locally
- acquire and maintain clients
- manage venues
- deliver classes
There is no limit to where the sub-franchise can be located, as long as the territory is available and you feel confident to handle the responsibility.
Finally, being present in over a dozen international territories and serving thousands of clients each week, we do understand and appreciate diversity and business culture differences. That is why if you have a valid alternative to how we can cooperate, feel free to mention it to us, and we will be able to create a fully customized approach.
