EUROPEAN EXPANSION
• It is through franchising that some of the world’s largest and best-known brands have achieved international expansion
![Page 4: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

PRODUCT / SERVICE EVALUATION
•Before considering entry into any other member country of the EU it is essential that proper needs-based analysis has been undertaken of the market
![Page 7: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
•Never assume that all countries are the same
•Every market must be treated individually
•You have to be flexible and understand that market
![Page 8: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF
ENTERING THE EU MARKET ?
![Page 9: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
EXPANSION ROUTES
There are four main international franchise expansion routes:-
• DIRECT FRANCHISING – this involves the grant of franchise rights by a Franchisor directly to a Franchisee in another country:
– all Management Service Fees paid to Franchisor
– the Franchisor carries all costs associated with translation, support, legal compliance, training
![Page 10: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EXPANSION ROUTES
There are four main international franchise expansion routes:
• A NATIONAL MASTER FRANCHISEE typically acquires the rights to an entire country with a view to establishing a pilot operation and then sub-franchising to single/multi-unit franchises
![Page 11: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EXPANSION ROUTESThere are four main international
franchise expansion routes:
• Alternatively, a Franchisor may choose to appoint a number of REGIONAL MASTER FRANCHISEES either by sub-dividing a country or in countries where the economics don’t fit a Master– As with a Master, the Regional will sub-
franchise
![Page 12: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
EXPANSION ROUTESThere are four main international
franchise expansion routes:
• As a fourth option, a Franchisor may choose to appoint a number of AREA DEVELOPERS– As with a Master and Regional the agent
may have the right to issue a limited number of sub- franchise units
![Page 13: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DIRECT FRANCHISING•This is NOT a common route to market
– Franchisor must consider how to generate multiple enquiries in the territory under consideration
– Franchisor has to manage brand image and quality
– Local legal requirements mean that franchise agreements will be different
![Page 14: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MASTER FRANCHISEE•This is the most common route to
market
– It involves the Franchisor granting franchise rights for the whole or a part of that country
– Quickest way to establish the business in the country using someone else’s funds
– Franchisor has to sacrifice a proportion of both the up-front fee and ongoing fees
![Page 15: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
REGIONAL MASTER LICENCE
•A fast growing method of international franchising– The Franchisor retains some of the
operational support and central logistical support
– Regional Master Licensee will generally have a shorter term licence than a Master but will not have the same infrastructure requirements
– Franchisor takes larger percentage of shared MSF
![Page 16: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
AREA DEVELOPERS
•An approach often used in the USA– The Franchisor retains most of the
operational support and central logistical support
– Area developer will generally act as the representative of the Franchisor
– Franchisor may take back the territory when initial development complete
![Page 17: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
EXPANSION ROUTES
•Becoming a Master Franchisee involves taking a brand and adapting the existing business to suit a new market utilising your local knowledge
![Page 18: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DOES YOUR OPERATIONS MANUAL TAKE ACCOUNT OF
UNDERSTANDING?
TRUNK ???
![Page 19: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
EUROPEAN EXPANSION
•The franchise business model has enabled companies to adapt swiftly to cultural and economic differences, capitalising on the local knowledge and contacts of their local representatives to build the brand in new markets
![Page 20: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TRAINING & SUPPORT
•As technology has grown more sophisticated and the global market has become smaller, providing training and support to Master Franchises around the world has become easier
![Page 21: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TRAINING & SUPPORT
•A Master Franchisee can expect to work on their own initiative, but like single/multi-unit franchises they should receive training and support as part of the franchise package
![Page 22: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
COMPANIES & INDIVIDUALS
• It is common for companies as well as individuals to become Master Franchisees
![Page 23: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
HOW SHOULD YOU ESTABLISH
A FEE STRUCTURE?
![Page 24: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SOME CONCEPTS FOR DIRECT FRANCHISING
•POPULATION – many franchise concepts base territory fees on domestic population– a more accurate figure would be to relate
this to spend as a percentage of income
•BUSINESSES – sometimes based on average spend on a product or service– more accurately needs to be adjusted to
factor local cost base
![Page 25: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
MASTER FRANCHISING
•POPULATION – for service/product franchise concepts based on population a review of European populations by percentage identifies an immediate problem– Can the population sustain the
infrastructure costs of replicating the Franchisor’s business
![Page 26: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

MASTER FRANCHISING
•REMEMBER – a franchise works because everyone wins– When calculating the fee structure there
has to be a viable return at all levels in the chain
– You need to balance up-front fees along side ongoing revenue stream
![Page 28: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WHAT ARE THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTERING THE EU?

SETTING UP IN A COUNTRY
•Many countries welcome “reputable” franchise concepts and have no real legal restrictions
![Page 30: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SETTING UP IN A COUNTRY
•Many countries welcome “reputable” franchise concepts and have no real legal restrictions
•Some countries however have taken the view that local Franchisees should be protected, and impose stringent registration or disclosure requirements
![Page 31: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
AGREEMENTS
•As a rule you should expect that a Master Agreement will be subject to negotiation and as such legal costs can escalate
![Page 32: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
AGREEMENTS•As a rule you should expect that a
Master Agreement will be subject to negotiation and as such legal costs can escalate
•Generally the Sub-Licence Agreement is non negotiable, however it is most probable that you will need to have agreements adapted for each country’s legal requirements
![Page 33: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
AGREEMENTS
•Where a franchise requires a number of employees you need to be aware of local employment law issues
![Page 34: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
TAXATION
•When calculating the viability of any entry into another country not only should you take account of the set-up costs but the impact of taxation on foreign earned income, e.g. withholding tax
![Page 35: CLIVE C HOULSTON CHAIRMAN and MANAGING DIRECTOR MR.ELECTRIC UK AIRE SERV UK](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649db45503460f94aa5439/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
