While large Franchise Networks often apply very sophisticated accounting systems and use them for comparison of individual franchisees, smaller networks may not want the significant expense and complexity associated with those types of systems. They still need a quick way to compare various Franchises and provide them with effective feedback regarding their performance and potential strategies for improvement. Franchisees in turn expect to be able to compare themselves to their peers in their network and potentially with other competitors in the industry.

With our FINTEL Industry Metrics reports (FIM) or our interactive FINTEL Business Analyzer tool, both franchisers and franchisees will be able to achieve their goals.

• Collect financial and other performance related data from franchisees or have them collected for you by FINTEL
• Be able to compare franchisees on all relevant performance indicators and compare franchisees to other competitors of the same or other industries
• Give franchisees the opportunity to compare themselves to other franchisees or other competitors outside the network
• Allow franchisees to compare their business against reliable benchmarks from privately held companies of over 2,500 industry groups that are not available anywhere else and that will demonstrate the current performance of their franchise
• Provide franchisees with financial benchmarks that they can use with bankers to demonstrate the profitability and credit worthiness of their franchise
• Provide franchisees with a tool that helps them define strategies for their franchise backed by financial and industry analysis from their peers or from industry comparisons
• Establish targets for franchisees by presenting them with performance benchmarks from their peers that are difficult to dispute
• Give members a tool that provides actionable recommendations that have been derived from years of experience and proven successful in many similar cases based on the financial analysis of their business
