Context
Franchising is a business model and strategy to grow and build a business network without having to
provide all the necessary capital. In addition, franchising enables people with limited business expertise or
experience to establish and run a business.

purchase a handyman franchise called “Hire a Hubby”. Your friend is a Manual Arts teacher and is
considering leaving the teaching profession and starting a business with a colleague. They have limited
knowledge or experience in running a business.

requirements and the current internal, operating and macro environmental factors that may impact on a
decision to start a Hire-A-Hubby business.

of buying a Hire-A-Hubby franchise to potential franchisees, including visual representations and in-text
referencing.

- internal and operating environmental factors of the Hire-a-Hubby franchise structure and agreement to

- external environment of the franchise business to analyse the political, economic, socio-cultural,
technological, legal and environmental forces (PESTLE analysis)
• interpret the relationships, patterns and trends in the SWOT and PESTLE analyses to draw conclusions

franchisees, including visual representations and in-text referencing.
