About Us
Founded in 1976, Francorp was born from a vision to professionalize the way businesses expand—by introducing the world’s first consulting firm dedicated solely to franchising. At a time when franchising was a loosely understood concept, Donald Boroian, founder of Francorp and a pioneer in franchise strategy, recognized the untapped potential of structured business replication. Under his leadership, Francorp became a global thought leader, architecting expansion strategies for brands ranging from single-unit startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Over the decades, Francorp has grown its footprint to over 50 countries, advising thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate leaders on how to scale sustainably through franchising. With a robust, end-to-end consulting approach covering strategy, legal, operations, marketing, and training, Francorp has played a pivotal role in transforming regional players into national and international franchise brands.
In India, Francorp made its foray under the experienced leadership of Mr. Gaurav Marya, one of the most trusted voices in the franchising ecosystem. With over 18 years of deep-rooted industry expertise, Mr. Marya built Francorp India into the country’s leading franchise advisory platform. Backed by a team of consultants from top consulting and business backgrounds, Francorp India has empowered hundreds of Indian brands to expand rapidly—while avoiding the common pitfalls of unstructured franchising.
Today, Francorp stands not just as a consultancy, but as a partner in entrepreneurship—helping business owners turn local success into national recognition. Our Entrepreneur-to-Entrepreneur (E2E) model is a testimony to this vision, where we bridge the gap between brand owners and ambitious franchisees to create mutually successful partnerships.
From its Chicago roots to becoming a global leader in franchise development, Francorp's journey is defined by innovation, impact, and a relentless focus on client growth. We don’t just build franchise models—we build legacies that endure.
