Tony was incredibly genuine in his advice. He took the time to thoroughly review my situation, discussed possible scenarios, and guided me based on what was best for me—without any pressure to use his services. His honesty and depth of experience really stood out. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy and knowledgeable guidance.
Tony is amazing
Tony has a vast wealth of knowledge with regards to franchisees and franchisors. I was struggling to exit my contract early but Tony settled my nerves right from the start and with his expertise I have exited the franchise without paying anything to the franchisor.
He was always available to discuss the franchisors responses, allay fears and provide meaningful responses.
I can’t recommend Tony enough if you have any franchise issues.
Tony has a wealth of knowledge
Tony has a wealth of knowledge. We were so blessed to have him. Franchises are a nightmare and without Tony we most certainly would not have navigated our exit from our franchise. So if you need expert advice. Tony is your man.
Expert franchising advice when it really matters
Tony Bowman’s guidance during my franchise dispute has been invaluable. He brings deep, real-world franchising experience and explains things clearly, calmly and realistically. His advice has been strategic, honest and consistently focused on protecting my position as a franchisee.
In an area where it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, Tony stands out as someone who genuinely understands the imbalance franchisees face and knows how to address it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Franchisee
I run into to some problems with my Franchisor and whilst I tried to discuss the matters it seemed to get swept under the carpet - I approached Tony B at Franchise Problem Solutions for some guidance - immediately Tony set up a call and discussed all the issues I was experiencing. Tony provided me with solid guidance and explained what was right and wrong as the world of franchising can be a mine field for someone without experience I felt very assured he was always available for a chat and fully explained what I needed to do. I highly recommend Tony B he was outstanding, honest and truthful and was with us every step of the way. Such a lovely genuine person. Thank you Tony
Don't hesitate, give him a call
I am surprised at how many reviews are on here, that's because in my dealings with Tony he has always made me feel like I am the focus of his attention. His personal approach to the issue we worked through was amazing, his depth of knowledge comforting and the reassurance he gives at every step helps you get through what could have been a very difficult time. I have recommended him to others and every one of them has come back with positive comments. Thank you Tony!
Review Keely wording of Contract
Thank you Tony for your professionalism and expertise. You know what you are talking about, and I was in the same mind as you! It restored my faith in what I thought already. I will wholeheartedly recommend your services. If I need you in future, I will be in touch pronto!
Tony was amazing from the beginning…
Tony was amazing from the beginning initial contact was very quick & surprising as I contacted Tony quite late at night & he phoned me almost immediately.
He gave me the confidence to fight the owner of the Franchise I was with who was a particularly tricky character right through to court almost 2 years later. The case was dismissed & I have Tony to thank for that.
He was very easy to talk to & friendly with it but also very professional.
Thank you Tony I’m very grateful for the help you gave me 😊
Franchise Exit Assistance
Tony assisted all of the franchisees in our franchise to exit from the franchise, due to the inability of the franchisor to run an effective and straight operation.
You get no fluff or waffle from Tony, just a straight answer to a question, even if it's not what you want to hear. He tells it like it is.
He knows his stuff and is excellent in communicating it to you.
I would not hesitate in recommending Tony if you have any franchise issues. He's the man who will help.

Tony has been an absolute rock throughout my franchise termination process.
I honestly don’t know how I would’ve got through it without him. His advice was always thoughtful, clear, and completely tailored to my situation — and he never once made me feel like I was just another client. He genuinely cared, took time to listen, and guided me through every step with real warmth and patience.
Whenever I felt overwhelmed, Tony was there — checking in, explaining things calmly, and offering reassuring support without judgment. I’m beyond grateful for everything he’s done, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone going through a difficult time with their franchise.
Tony Bowman provided excellent support…
Tony Bowman provided excellent support in helping me exit a franchise contract where the franchiser consistently underdelivered, missed deadlines, and broke promises made before signing. His professionalism and expertise made the process smooth and successful. I was able to get out of the contract despite still being in the contracted period and even got some money back. Highly recommended.
Very disappointed with the service…
Very disappointed with the service received from Franchise Problem Solutions. After paying £900 upfront for consultation, there was a lack of clarity regarding the hours used and the progress made. Despite communicating our expectations and requesting updates, the responses received were unhelpful to our case and had to chase for clarity on next steps, causing a stressful and frustrating experience.
Following attempts to share our honest experience, we then received a formal legal letter from Franchise Problem's solicitors threatening legal action if our review was not removed. This added to an already stressful situation.
Overall, the experience was deeply unsatisfactory, stressful, and ultimately ineffective. Cannot recommend.
Supportive and knowledgeable
I'm so happy to have found Tony and to have received his knowledge and support when I needed. Tony was on hand whenever I needed him, often out of the usual working hours. If he occasionally wasn't able to answer a call, he always called back very soon after. His availability was fabulous! Tony's knowledge about Franchises and his constant reassurance made my experience a much easier one and I'll be forever grateful to him. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tony to other franchisees
SUPERB HONEST SERVICE
Excellent advice and service provided by Tony. His experience and knowledge in franchise agreements is superb, giving an honest assessment of your issues. His advice centred on resolution, which we acted upon, whilst also knowing the moral and legal support is there if needed. He made a very lonely and stressful situation an awful lot easier knowing we had someone like him willing to support and guide us. Thank you.
Invaluable Advice
I approached Tony for advice around my unprofitable franchise when the franchisor stated they would pursue damages if I exited the agreement. Tony’s expertise and knowledge of franchising was invaluable and I was able to exit without penalty thanks to him. Tony’s support and guidance made the process a whole lot less stressful and I would recommend him to anyone who needs advice with a franchising problem.
Excellent and Affordable Service
Tony has an excellent knowledge of franchise in the UK. He demonstrated expertise in handling challenging situations in our franchise negotiations. His services are swift and efficient. He is very honest and has integrity.
His service charges are extremely affordable compared to others. His professionalism is top notch with results guaranteed.
Franchise issue resolved
Very supportive and knowledgeable. Tony helped me free myself from a franchise that caused me a lot of stress. I feel like I can breathe again thanks to him.
Inside knowledge invaluable
I’m very grateful to Tony for his time and his sound advice. He gave me confidence that my franchise problem could be resolved, and his counsel enabled me to walk away from this difficult chapter. His inside knowledge and desire to see the right outcome (morally) was invaluable. Thanks Tony.
I enrolled as a franchisee in a…
I enrolled as a franchisee in a franchise business which was not returning a profit. As a result, I wanted to leave the franchise because I was struggling to pay the monthly franchise fees. While researching online, I found franchiseproblemsolutions, which offered mediation services. After a couple of emails and calls with Tony Bowman, we paid him by bank transfer.
Tony suggested pursuing a group claim and advised me to contact other franchisees in similar situations, which I did. However, after forwarding the information to him, I did not receive any guidance on the next steps for the group claim. Later, Tony mentioned that I could potentially get my initial franchise fee back by filing a claim for damages in small claims court. I found the link online and sent it to Tony for confirmation and further instructions, but I did not receive any response on how to proceed.
At some point, I asked Tony if I should contact the franchisor myself to negotiate an exit, but he advised against it. Whenever Tony called, I would ask him when he would send out communications, and he would assure me that he would do it by the end of the day or the next day. Despite following up with emails and texts, I did not receive any confirmation that he had sent any communications.
Several months later, I requested a full refund from Tony, but he declined, stating that he had provided us with sympathetic advice. I informed him that I had to contact and liaise with the franchisor myself directly. Tony then clarified that he does not get involved with franchisors. It would have been helpful to know this beforehand, as we might not have chosen his mediation services if we had been aware of this limitation.
