However, a key asset of the franchise model is that none of this capital is tied up in stock.Open days for potential franchisers are currently being held at Rohan’s head office in Milton Keynes every Wednesday, where new outlet owners will receive two weeks’ initial training.For more information or to express interest in becoming a Rohan franchisor, visit the Rohan website.
