Art of Franchising, the specialized consultancy arm of Singapore-based Eccelerate PTE LTD, has introduced an innovative support program aimed at fostering sustainable growth in the Philippine franchise sector. Departing from traditional consultancy models, the initiative combines profit-sharing arrangements with pro bono services to reduce financial barriers for emerging franchisors while ensuring alignment of interests between advisors and clients.
Art of Franchising's approach directly addresses key challenges facing new franchise systems, including precarious unit economics and scalability issues that contribute to high failure rates globally. By tying compensation to client success rather than charging upfront fees, the organization mitigates financial risk for entrepreneurs while incentivizing quality advisory services. The complementary pro-bono component further expands access to expert guidance for high-potential businesses lacking initial capital.
