Why Franchise FastLane?

1. Find the Right Franchisees

Thousands of franchise brands work to attract the right franchisees for their business. For owners asking, "How do I franchise my business?" the first step is building a compelling story. We help craft that story around your brand, create the right FDD, discovery process, marketing materials, and more to get your business noticed.

2. Grow Faster to Avoid the Slow Death

We have all heard if you aren’t growing you’re dying. The same holds true for business owners asking, "how to franchise my business," especially if they process drags on too long. Slow growth still requires much of the same systems to support franchisees but doesn’t provide the capital needed to hire people and invest in those systems. To grow your franchise into a sustainable brand, you must quickly grow and build your team and resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a franchise development company do?

A franchise development company gives business owners a clear path to scale. At Franchise FastLane, that means refining your systems, connecting you with qualified candidates, and guiding you through the process just like we’ve done for the brands featured on our Brands page. 

How do franchise development services help me grow and expand my business?

The right services take what you’ve built and make it easier to replicate in new markets. They create structure, provide marketing and sales support, and help you avoid the common challenges franchisors face.   

What challenges do franchisors face without a franchise development service?

Many franchisors struggle with trying to do everything at once. They are supporting their growing franchisee system while also managing marketing, compliance, and candidate recruitment. It is challenging to focus on building and expanding the business simultaneously. By outsourcing to a development partner like Franchise FastLane, franchisors can stay focused on supporting franchisees and strengthening their position in the industry. 

 

FastLane also brings credibility that new franchisors cannot achieve independently. When a brand joins a franchise sales organization like ours, it gains instant recognition and trust in consultant networks. Being associated with the FastLane name signals that the brand is stable, vetted, and prepared to support future franchisees the right way, right away.       

Do you work with emerging brands?

Absolutely. Emerging brands are our specialty. Many of the companies in our portfolio began with a single location, and with our support, they’ve grown into thriving national systems. 

What is the CarPool Program?

The CarPool Program is designed for brands that want to keep development in-house and grow at their own pace. This could be a new brand preparing for larger expansion, or an established brand that already has a developer but only wants to grow 10–20 units a year. CarPool members gain access to FastLane’s backend support, including compliance resources, sales materials, proven marketing assets, and our technology platforms, such as Frick and FastLane Playbooks. They also receive one-on-one coaching and benefit from being associated with the Franchise FastLane name, while still maintaining control over their development speed.       

Why do some franchises fail?

Most failures stem from moving too quickly or launching without solid systems in place. Our role at Franchise FastLane is to make sure your brand avoids those mistakes, keeping growth steady and supported. 

What’s included in franchise development services?

We focus on essentials, such as refining your FDD, creating a strong discovery process, and guiding marketing and sales efforts. These services are part of why franchisors choose us as their trusted partner, as highlighted on our Why Franchise FastLane page. 

How quickly can I scale with Franchise FastLane?

Every brand grows at its own pace, but many of our partners are amazed at how quickly their dream of scaling becomes reality—sometimes hitting milestones in two years that other brands take a decade to reach. 

Do you support brands after launch?

Yes. We act as an extension of your team, continuing to drive development so you can stay focused on your franchisees. That ongoing partnership is one reason many franchisors share their experiences in our online Testimonials

How do I know if franchise development services are right for me?

If you’re ready to expand but want to build a healthy franchise system      the right way, right away, you may be a strong fit. Submitting your application is a helpful first step in understanding your current position.
