Programme Overview

The programme is delivered over two consecutive days, allowing delegates sufficient time to develop both a sound understanding of financial management principles and the practical skills required to apply them within a franchise environment. Through a combination of presentations, practical discussions, business examples and interactive exercises, delegates learn how to interpret financial information, identify opportunities for improvement and use financial data to support franchisee performance and profitability.
