    The iFranchise Group is comprised of the nation’s top franchise professionals, and provides substantial depth in all of the key areas of franchising including strategic planning, operations documentation and quality control, franchisee training, franchise marketing and sales, and executive recruiting for franchisors. The iFranchise Group is the world's premier franchise consulting and development firm, and our consultants have worked with

      iFranchise Group’s services are primarily geared toward three markets:

      1. First-time franchisors: Companies seeking to franchise a business for the first time who already have developed a successful prototype and are looking to expand through franchising.

      2. Existing franchisors: Companies who are already franchising and are looking to improve on an established franchise system, hire personnel, increase their operating efficiency, improve quality, or boost franchise sales.

      3. Manufacturers-dealer/distributors: For networks currently selling through dealers or distributors, the iFranchise Group has developed a proprietary system to help increase operational control, improve brand image, and increase product sales.
