Franchise Pool International

Our Group of Franchise experts

All FPI network partners can help their national franchise systems and commercial enterprises in their expansion abroad. Our main business is brokerage, but we also assist in readying systems through providing our clients with the know-how they need for international expansion. We are offering two types of service:

Outgoing-Business

We represent businesses from all countries where a FPI Network partner is established. These brands are presented by visiting and attending trade shows, seminars and conferences where we usually appear as guest-speaker. Furthermore, we organize Master Conferences in conjunction with local partners in many countries We use suitable internet franchise web portals for marketing purposes.

We are, moreover, represented at international trade shows where we market ourselves at our own exhibition stand and where we actively look for master franchise partners for our clients. On request we are also happy to research specific markets for certain industries and to approach potentially interested parties directly.

We are an international network, but we also offer local accountability because only
local consultants have the in-depth knowledge of the domestic market and know how to contact investors that
may be suitable for international brands. With these ongoing activities, we have been successful in finding excellent international partners for established businesses over the past years. A number of outstanding examples can be found in our list of references.

Our success lies in undertaking a thorough pre-selection and gaining the trust of the candidate. If required by the client, we assist in facilitating the negotiation process.  A precondition for including a new brand into our portfolio is a personal on-site inspection of the business and a study of the system’s feasibility in the respective countries targeted. Should you have any questions regarding our services, please do not hesitate to call our head office or your local FPI partner. Globalisation and the evolution of technology have opened up the world for business development. Whilst building companies and their brands across international markets remains challenging, support from a specialist consultant can add real value.
