Owner role
Some franchise agreements allow you to hire a manager; many require you to work in the business. We show you exactly what each franchisor discloses — no hype.

Where you'd like to open, your budget and timing. A FranRelay consultant will follow up by email to arrange a conversation.
Get matched — freeNo introduction to any franchisor without your go-ahead.
Where a franchisor permits a designated manager, there are usually conditions: training, approval, minimum owner hours or a ramp-up period. We show those conditions word for word. We never describe any franchise as passive or hands-off.
How many hours did you work in year one? When did you hire a manager? What does the franchisor require of you now?
We don't use that word. Even where a manager is allowed, owners have ongoing obligations. We help you see exactly what each agreement requires.
Our consulting is free to buyers. If you open a franchise we introduced you to, the franchisor may pay FranRelay a placement fee. We tell you before an introduction whether that applies.
