Franchise & Royalty Compliance Auditing

Determine the accuracy of the franchise and royalty fees owed to you

 

Accurate franchise and royalty payments benefit all of your individual franchise owners—assuring dollars for marketing and promotional programs.

At the heart of our franchise and royalty compliance auditing is a thorough search for common under-reporting problems and other issues that can cut your profitability:

  • inefficiencies and mismanagement
  • accounting system weaknesses
  • employee theft
  • insufficient loss prevention programs
  • poor inventory control

We have audited hundreds of franchise owners over the last decade:

  • from Quick Service Restaurants to professional services
  • in the U.S. and abroad

Gain additional assurance about how well your franchise contracts protect you and your brand with our Franchise & Royalty Agreement Review Service

We bring to our franchise auditing a sensitivity to your relationships and a willingness to help your franchisees improve their financial processes.

“What’s really been wonderful about the relationship is that StoneBridge Business Partners sends the same team out to most of our domestic franchisee audits, so the knowledge gained in audit number one is applied to number two, number three, and so on—mitigating the learning curve. They have found some significant royalty dollars that we would never have seen if they hadn’t done the work. And I can attest to the fact that StoneBridge creates relationships, with us as well as our franchisees. They’ve been very accommodating and flexible on scheduling. Overall, they execute in a professional and efficient manner that delivers a win-win-win—for themselves, the franchisor and the franchisee.”
