5. How much control and how much freedom do I have as a franchisee?

As a franchisor, MWW AG offers you a framework to avoid mistakes and to benefit from tried-and-tested processes. These must be properly observed and followed. Nevertheless, every franchisee is an independent entrepreneur. He is responsible for his own profitability. Within this framework, he can make free decisions, e.g. in the choice of employees or property acquisition.

Limitations exist in compliance with the specified processes (and thus in the use of the given IT and controlling systems) as well as in compliance with the corporate design and corporate identity (code of conduct and quality). This is the only way to ensure the uniform appearance of all locations.

6. Under what name does my property manager act in a franchise cooperation?

In the case of a franchise cooperation, the franchise partner adopts the name of the respective location. At the Stuttgart location, for example, this would be MWW Stuttgart GmbH/UG/AG.

In this case, you would rename your existing company/property management and no longer appear under the previous name XY Hausverwaltung, but without exception as "MWW location GmbH/UG/AG".

7. How does the location allocation of franchise partners work and which locations are still available?

Each location is assigned exclusively to just one franchise partner. For example, there is only one "MWW Frankfurt" location in Frankfurt. Proper management is possible within a radius of about 100 km according to the franchise agreement. Further distances must be considered individually.

8. How long does a franchise partnership exist?

Since MWW AG is interested in a long-term and successful cooperation, the franchise agreement is usually concluded for a period of five years.

9. What legal form must my property management adopt?

Any corporation (UG, GmbH, AG) is possible.

However, we recommend a GmbH.

10. How can I become a franchisee?

Fill out our contact form. Please send us a link to your property manager's website and/or an up-to-date CV. You will then automatically receive an email with our franchisee brochure.

After reviewing your documents, we will contact you immediately and arrange a first non-binding telephone conversation.

If this goes well for all parties, this will be followed by a personal meeting at our main office in Leipzig or (due to the pandemic), if you wish, an online meeting to get to know each other personally.

If all parties agree on a franchise cooperation, the final contract negotiations will follow.
