The primary objective of the Chantry Foundation is to empower small business owners in making their inaugural strides into the world of franchising.
What Sets the Chantry Foundation Apart?
The Chantry Foundation is a not-for-profit community interest division initiated by Chantry Group, dedicated to giving back to the franchise community it serves. Each year, the foundation selects three businesses with a enthusiasm for launching their franchise network. The chosen trio is then nurtured through the challenging early phases of finding and onboarding their crucial first franchisees.
Under the seasoned guidance of a team boasting decades of collective experience in franchising, the Chantry Foundation offers a unique package for the selected businesses. This includes Chantry Group's proven franchise marketing set-up and launch process, lead handling and conversion support, and ongoing mentoring for franchise operations.
