Franchising with HBL


HBL works with franchisors, potential franchisors and franchisees to ensure each business is operating at its full potential.

For Franchisors

Whether you are an existing franchisor or are thinking about going global with your business concept, HBL understands the unique aspects of the business relationship between franchisors and their franchisees. Key to a franchisor’s success is developing or modifying a franchise concept in order to maximize profitability of both parties, achieve royalty self-sufficiency and maintain win-win relationships with franchisees. Our franchise team’s in-depth knowledge of these relationships and its assistance with the design of your business model will help you to navigate the cycles and avoid the many pitfalls of the unique relationship a franchisor has with its franchisees.

For Franchisees

HBL is proficient at accumulating peer and industry data, assisting with meaningful accounting and financial reporting, and developing working franchisee business models nationwide. We help franchisees maximize the resources offered by their franchisors and utilize many of the benefits of the relationship with the corporate office. This means we can assist in maximizing your return on each royalty dollar. HBL will dive deep into the business practices you employ, help determine the root cause of profit leaks and work with you to become one of the profit leaders in your network.
