What Franchise Mentoring Actually Is
Franchise mentoring is not business coaching with a franchise label on it.
It is specific, structured guidance through one of the most complex growth decisions a business owner can make — whether to franchise, how to do it properly, and what it will actually take to build a system that works for franchisees as well as for you.
At FranchiseED, mentoring is grounded in independent research and more than 20 years of direct franchising experience. The work is practical and specific to your business — not generic frameworks, not off-the-shelf templates. You will work through how franchising will actually function in your operation, what it will require of you, and what needs to be in place before you can scale it successfully.
The Franchise-Ready Accelerator
Our flagship mentoring programme for business owners ready to get serious about franchising.
The Franchise-Ready Accelerator is a 90-day, one-on-one mentoring programme designed to take you from uncertainty to clarity — and from clarity to a fundable, executable franchise plan.
Over 90 days you will:
- Confirm whether your business is genuinely franchise-ready
- Work through how franchising will operate specifically in your business
- Build the strategic and operational foundations of a franchise system designed for sustainable growth
- Understand what it will take to recruit, support and retain good franchisees
- Leave with the knowledge, confidence and documented groundwork to move forward with clarity
Why This Mentoring Is Different
Independent. Research-backed. Experienced.
Many people offering franchise coaching have a financial interest in your decision. Franchise brokers and some consultants earn commissions when you proceed. That is not a criticism — it is simply a fact worth knowing.
FranchiseED operates independently. Kerry Miles is not a broker, is not affiliated with any franchise system, and does not earn commissions. Her only interest is in helping you make the right call for your business.
That independence is backed by credentials that are rare in this space:
- 20+ years of franchising experience, including time as a franchisor
- Former General Manager, Franchising Centre, Griffith University (approximately a decade)
- Certified Franchise Executive (CFE)
- Adjunct Research Fellow, University of the Sunshine Coast
- Founder, FranchiseED — independent franchise research, education and mentoring consultancy
Who This Is For
Franchise mentoring with FranchiseED is for business owners who have a proven, profitable business and are ready to work through seriously what franchising will look like in practice — not just whether to do it, but how.
Specifically, this programme is for you if:
- You have a proven, profitable business you believe could be replicated
- You are ready to work through the practical detail of how franchising will function in your business
- You want independent guidance rather than a sales pitch
- You are willing to do the work to understand what franchising actually involves
- You understand that the right answer might be "not yet" or "not this way" — and want to know that before you invest
If you are looking for a shortcut or a rubber stamp, this is not the right programme.
