Commercial Property: The Franchise Decision Nobody Talks About 

First Friday | The Franchise Company 

Property can be one of the biggest financial commitments a franchisee makes, yet it is often one of the least understood. 

Join Linda Fogarty Smith MRICS and Jonathan Hand MRICS, Directors of The Lease Negotiator, for an informative and practical session exploring the property decisions that can make or break a franchise. 

From choosing the right site and understanding the true cost of occupation, to negotiating the lease and avoiding costly mistakes, Linda and Jonathan will share the key things every franchisee, and franchisor should know before committing to a property. 

They’ll explore: 

  • ???? Is this really the right property for your franchise? 

  • ???? What is the true cost beyond the headline rent? 

  • ???? Which lease clauses could have a major impact on your business? 

  • ???? What should you negotiate before signing? 

  • ⚠️ What are the common property mistakes that can prove expensive? 

  • ???? How can franchisors better support their franchisees with property decisions? 

With real-world examples, practical advice and plenty of opportunity for questions, this session is designed to give you a property health check framework you can take away and use. 

Whether you are considering becoming a franchisee, already running a franchise, or are a franchisor supporting a growing network, this is one session you won't want to miss. 

Property can look right on paper- but is it right for your business? 

Come along and find out what you should be asking before you sign.
