Franchise Finance Mastery Program
Building strong financial foundations takes more than spreadsheets. Our hands-on program walks you through real franchise scenarios, from initial setup costs to multi-location cash flow management. We've spent years watching what actually works in Australian franchise systems.
How The Program Unfolds
We break things down into manageable chunks. Each phase builds on the previous one, so you're never drowning in complexity. By week sixteen, you'll have worked through actual franchise financial models from our client archives.
01
Foundation Setup
Weeks 1-4
Starting with the basics that everyone needs but nobody teaches properly. Chart of accounts, GST handling, payroll structures. We use real franchise examples from cafes, retail, and service businesses.
02
Cash Flow Analysis
Weeks 5-8
This is where things get interesting. You'll work with actual cash flow statements from struggling franchises and figure out what went wrong. Then we show you the fixes that actually worked.
03
Growth Planning
Weeks 9-12
Multi-location financial management changes everything. We cover royalty calculations, territory expansion costs, and the funding options that make sense for Australian franchisees.
04
Risk Management
Weeks 13-16
Every franchise faces unexpected challenges. Insurance structures, emergency reserves, seasonal planning. We walk through case studies from 2024 when several of our clients navigated tough situations successfully.
05
Exit Strategies
Weeks 13-16
Not everyone talks about this, but smart franchisees think about it from day one. Valuation methods, sale preparation, transfer processes. The financial side of franchise transitions matters enormously.
06
Capstone Project
Week 16
You'll present a complete financial plan for a franchise scenario. Could be a startup analysis or a turnaround strategy. Three mentors review your work and provide detailed feedback.
