Are you confident your Restaurant Franchise Business is getting first-class risk management protection?
When you open a restaurant franchise business, you are often joining forces with a mega brand in the industry. As such, there is usually a playbook for you to follow that outlines everything from how to design your restaurant and make the donuts to what prices you should charge to attain the most significant profit, to critical details on hiring, benefits, and more. These guidebooks were written by the many franchise owners who came before you. And, if you follow their lead, you’re likely to reap the same rewards. For more than 30 years, Fred C. Church has watched franchisees achieve success through, of course, a lot of hard work but also by following the skillful guidance of others. This experience led us to develop a franchise insurance playbook of our own. As a result, when you hire us to join your team, you’re getting more than an insurance broker. You’re also gaining a trusted resource, with years of industry experience, who can offer restaurant franchise owners essential risk mitigation advice.

Areas Of Focus
Serving the needs of restaurant franchise business owners across the U.S.
There are all different types of restaurant franchise businesses, from pizza delivery and ice cream parlors to sandwich and donut shops. However, being in the same industry does not mean that these operations have the same risk profile. Experience has shown our team that it’s far more likely for each franchise operation—even ones under the same corporate parent—to have very distinct risks and coverage needs. Therefore, we evaluate a franchisee’s level of risk exposure using several factors, including their location, their workforce, any approved menu customization, and more. When you work with Fred C. Church, you get an insurance broker who not only understands that no two franchises are alike but who may also be able to help you balance the requirements of corporate guidelines with the way you want to operate and manage your business.
We deliver customized risk management programs and services to a variety of restaurant franchise operations, including ones in the following industries:

Our Three-Step Risk Management Process
Working hand-in-hand with you to regularly monitor your company’s potential losses.
Identify
We start by mapping out your potential operational and financial risks; how likely each is to happen and how frequently; and what impact they may have on your organization and finances. Then, working together, we take a proactive and strategic approach to help you determine which risks require your attention first.
Assess
Our goal is to understand how you currently deal with your identified risks and if this aligns with our knowledge of best practices for your specific industry. We also review your current insurance policies, and their limits and exclusions, to discover possible gaps or redundancies that may warrant changes to your plan.
Address
Our team puts together a risk management program to address the risks you knew about, but that may not have been adequately covered, and those that we identified for you through this process. We then offer a variety of insurance solutions that will allow you to make decisions that align with your appetite for risk.
