Administrative Support
The following is a partial list of the administrative support services we can provide to franchisors. Please feel free to ask about services not listed below.
Compliance And Regulatory Matters
You can outsource your compliance and regulatory processing requirements to us. We can cost effectively review and update your UFOC, file your UFOC, respond to regulator questions, and manage several other related matters.
Convention Planning And Management
Planning an exciting franchisee convention can be a challenge. Smaller franchise systems face a unique set of issues due to their limited budgets and headcounts. Because our affiliates own and operate franchise systems with 1,200 franchised locations, we plan and manage several large conventions annually. These conventions are held at great venues, feature excellent professional speakers and are first-class events. We can assist you in hosting your next franchisee convention in conjunction with ours and thereby give you access to the same pricing and features as a much larger meeting.
Affinity Vendors Relationships
Due to the large buying power of our affiliate franchise networks, we have been able to negotiate preferred pricing and terms with approximately 20 vendors which supply services such as express mail, printing, direct mail, cell phones, long distance, computer hardware and software, etc. We can also make these same preferred vendor programs available to you and your franchisees.
Insurance Brokerage Services
Our affiliate, Marathon Insurance Brokers, LLC, specializes in placing insurance coverage for franchisors and their franchisees.
SBA Loan Brokering
We have national relationships with Preferred SBA Lenders whereby we can assist franchisors and their franchisees in applying for SBA loans in all 50 states. The process is designed to be very efficient and provide access to SBA Lenders on highly competitive terms.
