The Money Collectors Franchise
Background
With many years experience of credit management consultancy, our founder, Mike Segall, decided to launch the debt collection company, Money Collectors, in October 2021. We became the preferred supplier to the British Franchise Association (BFA) for debt collection and related services. After exhibiting at the British & International Franchise Show in 2023, we received several enquiries regarding the possibility of buying a franchise. From this, the idea for The Money Collectors Franchise was born.

The Recruitment Process
There will be an initial video call to discuss the franchise and costs, essentially for the prospective franchisee to decide if this is the right opportunity for them and for the franchisor to decide if the applicant is suitable. If both parties agree, the franchisor will send all relevant information regarding the franchise to the franchisee and then a face to face meeting will be set up, where possible. Once both parties have decided to proceed, the Franchise Agreement will be sent to the prospective franchisee, after which there will be the opportunity to ask any questions about moving forward. Subsequent to this, the franchisee would sign the Franchise Agreement, pay the franchise fee and we would then diarise initial training.
