EPCB Franchise Establishment Fee

Leverage your business - align with EPCB

When you have paid your initial (once only) establishment fee, please provide us with a suitable image (usually a "head and shoulders" photograph of your lead consultant), up to 300 words about you; and contact information comprised of a nominated person, telephone contact and an email address.

Please note: EPCB will conduct a due diligence exercise on the application and reserve the right to reject the application and provide you with a full refund.

A full EPCB Affiliated Consultant Package includes the following three elements:

1. A hosted website presence. This integrated element includes a listing, by name and region, on the EPCB About Us page. The listing is hyper-linked to your hosted web page. Your hosted web page is customized within a generic standard to include information you provide - specifically, an image (usually a "head and shoulders" photograph), up to 300 words about your service; and contact information comprised of a nominated person, telephone contact and an email hyper-link.

2. Intellectual Property. Please note that this is only made available to support your consulting projects when you win business and take up an annual franchise fee. This includes our acclaimed Buttress® Consulting Module which you can tailor to meet the needs of your clients; Power Point Presentations which support workshops, exercises and training aligned with EPCB's approach to business continuity & emergency planning; and exclusive access to other resources (links and downloads) from a password protected area of this site.(Where the franchisee sells Buttress® to a client, the head office receives a 20% commission from the sale.)

3. Logo rights. Rights to display and use EPCB logos on your promotional, training and other materials (including consulting proposals).

NB While EPCB Affiliates demonstrate alignment with EPCB approaches, they maintain their independence as individual service providers. This independence also includes responsibility for coverage of their liabilities (through insurances).

Referrals. Leads received through the head office will be forwarded to the best placed affiliate. The best placed affiliate will be a head office decision based on client needs, provider proximity and best service fit.

Payment of the initial establishment fee confirms acceptance of EPCB's offer and establishes your affiliate support rights. This can be done through Paypal from this website or through the international Banking system using IBAN/SWIFT.

Once business is generated through EPCB - indicated by the need to use of EPCB intellectual property (such as Buttress®), the franchisee will be subject to the annual franchise fee.

A discounted Annual Fee (Full Fee) option is available as a payment option. This provides you with an established franchise and immediate access to the intellectual property resources.
