Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about joining ERA, how the franchise model works, and what to expect as part of our network.
What backgrounds do most franchisees come from?
There’s no set profile for a franchisee of ERA Group. Our franchisees come from a broad range of positions and industries, e.g. sales, general management, marketing, purchasing, advertising, telecommunications, consulting, engineering, IT, transport and financial services. Licensed franchisees usually have a minimum of 10 years of experience in management positions or have significant technical expertise in a particular category.
What is a Joint Venture?
Making a project successful involves different tasks, ranging from acquiring clients to client relationship management and analyzing projects. In order to make our work as efficient as possible, the majority of our projects are carried out as joint ventures, in which franchisees work ogether and specialize on their specific strengths. This means that to become a licensed franchisee of ERA Group you do not necessarily have to be a strong analyst and business developer at the same time. We encourage franchisees in the areas of business development, client management and analysis to join our network.
Do I have a designated territory?
The answer is ‘yes’ and ‘no’. Franchisees protect their business by registering prospective and actual clients on our CRM, and each verifies availability before canvassing new clients. Within your country, you are free to work with any client provided they aren’t already a client or a prospect of another licensed franchisee. Outside your country you have the opportunity to benefit from client referrals without worrying about their location.
How much can I earn?
You determine your own income level. The more money you save for a client, and the more clients/projects you have, the more money you earn. Typically, you earn 50% on the category you are engaged to work on over a period of 36 months from the implementation date. The majority of our projects are performed as joint ventures. In this case two joint venture partners share the revenues derived from their savings.
What is the typical amount I’m likely to save for a client?
Savings depend largely on the type of industry, the size of the business, the efficiency of their purchasing systems and the category you’re working on. It is difficult to come up with a concrete figure. However, on average ERA Group saves clients close to 20% and we typically manage 4-5 projects per client.
In what areas do we help clients to save money?
We have established systems and supplier relationships that span over 50 expense areas. We call these areas ‘categories’. Here are just some of the categories projects you may deliver for clients with your colleagues: Utilities and Energy, Telecommunications, Freight, Packaging, Waste Management, Insurance, Printing, Logistics, Facilities Management, IT, Bank Services, Fleet Management, Industrial Gases, Cleaning, Office Supplies, Security, and many more!
What makes ERA Group different?
There are three main ways our services stand out from other consulting firms:
1. Success-fee remuneration model. Our services bear a low-financial risk for our clients. In other words – no savings, no fee. The client only pays for results.
2. Implementation-Focused. We don’t just create a report; we also implement the recommendations and secure savings through long-term client relationships.
3. Enormous expertise. The ERA Group network consists of more than 1000 consultants worldwide, each bringing their own area of expertise to the business. This allows you to joint-venture with your colleagues to deliver maximum value to your clients.
Why join ERA Group?
As a franchisee of ERA Group you will be a member of one of the world’s leading cost optimization consultancies and 'Best Business & Professional Services Franchise 2026'. You will operate your own business, but as part of a worldwide network of more than 1000 consultants. You will be helping organizations of all sizes to maximize their profits by identifying savings opportunities on everyday spend.
Can I operate the business on a part-time basis?
When setting up a business, the rate of growth will depend hugely on the amount of effort put in at the beginning.
With this in mind, we would recommend that you start an ERA franchise on a full-time basis. That being said, after successfully establishing a pipeline of clients, some franchisees manage to sustain a significant income on reduced hours.
Your investment
Starting up with ERA is a low-cost, low-risk way to grow your own business within a network of like-minded, driven and successful people.
Indeed, there are almost no fixed costs to running your consultancy: there are no printed materials and no essential need for a dedicated office; all you really need is a laptop and a method of travel when required.
There are different territories and licence types available internationally.
One of our team will happily run through the pricing structure on a scheduled call and can answer any questions there and then.
Your target clients
Your target clients will be businesses with annual turnovers of 10m- 100m+. Leveraging any existing C-suite commercial relationships will see you get off to a flying start, and the experienced ERA support team will guide you thereafter with proven lead generation strategies.
The number of clients you attract is less important than the number of projects – meaning it’s ideal to foster enduring relationships in which clients provide you with multiple projects to work on.
What support do I receive?
We know how tough the first year of starting any business can be, no matter how dedicated you are or how honed your skills may be. That’s why we have cultivated a dedicated in-house franchisee support program to give your consultancy the powerful boost it needs to thrive quickly.
This will cover your initial 2 weeks training followed by regular interactions from our Academy team during your business start-up. We’ll also get your IT systems set up and introduce you to our in-house marketing team before you meet up with your local support team and business mentor.
How does the ERA franchise model work?
The ERA model is based around an attractive “No Win, No Fee” business proposition to clients, with franchisees sharing in what they are able to save their clients. This offers exceptional earnings potential and the ability for you to really get out of the business what you put in – how many people chained to a desk in their employer’s office can say the same?
What’s more, our processes are backed by a steadfast attitude and ethics – treating fellow business owners and clients alike with the utmost respect and values. In short, ERA believes in doing things properly.
