Franchise Platform
Assess readiness, implement playbook setup steps, and connect to vendors and other operations resources – all in one place
The faster a franchisee can be qualified and operational, the faster everyone can make revenue.
Flexible Platform for the Entire Franchise Ecosystem
Let StartBlox online platform guide the way through the process while easing one of the biggest challenges to getting off the ground: making sure all setup steps are completed for a successful launch.
In addition to the fundamental things every business owner needs to do – getting permits/licenses, setting up accounting, hiring employees, etc. – franchisees need to consider specific franchise requirements
This could include things like signage and advertising standards, preferred vendors, and many other items that may or may not be formalized in a playbook.
Regardless if this is the first business or the fifth, there are many details a business owner needs to keep track of simultaneously, and our platform will lead the way forward through them all.
We're your virtual setup hub
