The scheduled workshop topics are:

  • Franchise Risk, Loan structuring and Product Development 
  • Winning Strategies in Franchise Lending

The key benefits to lenders include:

  • Helping ensure franchise line bankers are “fit for purpose”
  • Supporting effective franchise risk and portfolio management practices
  • The provision of up to date reference material and ongoing franchise information for business leaders, risk operators and bank legal team).
  • Improved external credibility for franchise business development operators
  • A reduced reliance on updating internal training materials
  • Independent external facilitation, examination and monitoring of ongoing Continuing Professional Development Requirements.
  • Credit Points towards the Certified Franchise Executive program

Successful graduates of the program will qualify for inclusion in the Australian Franchise Registry’s publicly accessible list of Registered Franchise Lending Specialists and will be authorised to use the post nominal “RFLS” in all dealings. Registration will be reviewed annually and subject to 20 units of activity (as approved by the Registry’s lender advisory board).
