It is also a crucial part of the business plan. If the franchisee is going to request financing, lenders will want to see a comprehensive marketing plan. You are going to have to approve the plan before the franchisee can proceed, so it makes sense to help develop the plan. You can either provide a format for the plan or a checklist of items to be covered.
