In addition to providing consultancy, Master Franchise Owners have exclusive access to booking promotions through these franchise owner recruitment tools for franchisor clients based in their area.

According to the FDS franchise database, there are now more than 200 companies offering franchises throughout Ireland.

The FDS Master Franchise Owner will undergo a comprehensive initial and ongoing training programme to ensure they are fully able to assist in every aspect of helping a company to successfully franchise their business, as well as help established franchisors in Ireland to develop their franchises to their full potential.
