Client Testimonials
Working with Lynn and her franchising team assisted my team to implement integration and franchised store growth seamlessly into what we do every day. 12 years on and Lynn remains very much part of our team — and still at every store opening no matter where it is in sub-Saharan Africa.
Lynn and her team at Franchise Assist really showed me what building a brand was all about. She helped me franchise my brand and build a cohesive structure that was hard to copy. Starting on my third franchise, Lynn is continually doing what needs to be done in order for us to have a solid franchise brand in South Africa.
During my tenure as Head of Alliances and Special Projects at ABSA Micro-Enterprise Finance, our brief was to introduce a franchise Micro-Enterprise Loan Centre. Lynn and her team added great value to the project through her professional experience and invaluable insight to franchising and business in South Africa.
