Helping franchisees through Covid-19
last updated 12/05/2020
How does being part of a franchise help when the unthinkable happens and the whole country goes into lockdown? We’ve been finding out what franchisors are doing for their franchisees.
In our online series Helping Franchisees, we’ve looked at how franchisors are helping franchisees through the current situation. This series of case studies across different industries focuses on the responses of franchise teams to Covid-19 in all sorts of areas from finance and fees to mental health.
Of course, even the best franchisors can’t do everything, but it demonstrates that they really do care about their franchisees – and reinforces the value of being part of a franchise rather than being an isolated independent.
