At the National Franchise Institute, we do two things:

1. we help franchisees and independent entrepreneurs get new locations open without making costly development mistakes in the process;
2. we help independent entrepreneurs determine if franchising is the right growth strategy for a concept they have created

BRICK & MORTAR FRANCHISE SUCCESS (for anyone leasing space to build a new location)

Newer business owners often struggle with getting new locations opened as quickly as possible without going broke. Many of them are actually scared because they know they don’t know what they don’t know! We specialize in helping them avoid costly mistakes that are usually made when space is being leased and new locations are being built. Topics covered include:
– Corporate structure + accounting & taxes strategies

– Business law and franchise law

– Location intelligence (scientifically targeting where your location should go)

– Real estate and real estate legal (site selection, lease negotiations)

– Architecture and engineering

– Construction and construction management

– Lending

– Insurance

GROWTH STRATEGIES (“Should I Franchise My Business?”)

Independent business owners who have gotten to proof of concept and now want to grow their brand face some interesting options:

1) remain an independent
2) pursue the franchise model
3) consider licensing
4) business opportunity considerations

The National Franchise Institute is the only entity that objectively explains the pros and cons of each of these scenarios so you know how to best grow your concept.

Through in-person education events held in Greenwood Village, both programs go into detail about the areas where many entrepreneurs and franchise professionals have made costly mistakes in both TIME & MONEY to keep you from making those same mistakes.

Our educators are licensed attorneys, licensed CPA’s, lenders, insurance professionals, licensed architects, licensed general contractors and other business and franchise professionals who will be happy to work with you as you work to build your first (or your next) location.
