Is Your Business Ready to Franchise: How turn one profitable location into a hundred - or find out why you can't

Is Your Business Ready to Franchise?Franchise Readiness Series, Book OneIs your business doing well because of what you've built, or because of you?People tell me their business is ready to franchise before I've asked a single question about it. They're usually doing well. Often very well. Doing well feels like it should be enough.It isn't, though, and that's not a bad thing to hear. It means one question hasn't been answered yet: does your business run because of the systems underneath it, or because you're standing inside it every day, holding it together?I'm Cat. My husband Dan and I built Your Man With A Van from one van and one town into a franchise network of more than sixty branches across the UK, in under two years. Along the way, we learned what separates a business that's simply successful from one that's franchisable, sometimes the easy way, and sometimes the hard way.Inside this book, you'll find: - The three conditions that all have to hold true before a business is franchisable, and the four disqualifiers that mean it isn't, yet - Four questions that reveal whether your business runs without you, including the one most founders are afraid to try - What franchising costs in the UK, with a total most guides won't give you - What a franchise agreement can and can't protect you from, told through a case that nearly cost one franchisor everything - Why a pilot run somewhere that isn't your home patch is the only way to find out what you don't know yetThis isn't a book that will turn you into a franchisor by the last page, and it won't talk you into franchising or talk you out of it either. It's a straight answer to the question underneath every conversation I have with business owners: are you ready, or are you close?Cat was named Entrepreneur of the Year at the 2026 Global Business Woman Summit. This is Book One in her Franchise Readiness Series, the honest guide to franchising for UK business owners.Scroll up and grab your copy to find out exactly where you stand.
