Companies must take certain issues into perspective before franchising a company. The first would be to get the franchise registered with the U.S. Trade Mark office. A Trade Mark attorney would be able to take care of this process. The company needs to register the names of all the states where the franchisees are most likely to be opened. They must register for multiple units if relating to more than one franchise operation.

The company must have all the regulations, rules, and other procedures ready as manuals for the franchisees. This manual must cover all the financial, administrative, accounting, and legal aspects concerning the successful opening and running of a franchise. All the training that is to be provided to the franchise employees must be available as and when required. New strategies being implemented into the business must be available for the franchisees perusal. The training must be scheduled as per the training manuals provided and the manuals must also contain updated training procedures for existing employees. Advertising and promotional related aspects ought to be covered in the manuals provided to the franchisees. The franchise must be able to follow all these rules strictly and must not make an exception unless absolutely necessary. If needed, the company must be able to provided trained employees to the franchise during the initial stages.

Another important aspect is to develop the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular that provides the franchisee an insight into the companys history, and background information on the current stockholders and owners of the company. Financial statements for the last three years, details of current franchisers, the company's lawsuit history, and franchising agreement are also part of the UFOC. The franchisee must be able to look in detail into the companys current profits and past losses before committing to franchise for the company. These documents must be in the applicants hands at least 10 days before the agreement is signed and the franchising fee is paid, as per the Federal Trade Commission.

The company must be able to provide market research for increasing the profits of the company. The details produced by such research must be accessible to all the franchises, possibly through a monthly newsletter. The company must also be able to conduct regular trainings for all the existing employees in all the franchises.
