About the course

Owning a franchise means running your own business as part of an established system. You have people, processes and resources to support you, as well as decisions and responsibilities that belong to you as the business owner.

This course helps you make sense of that role from the start. You’ll explore what your franchisor provides, what you are responsible for locally, which parts of the business need your regular attention and how to find the right person to help when a question comes up.

You don’t need to know everything on day one. The aim is to leave with a clearer picture of your role and a practical support map you can use as you build your business.
