WHAT IS A FRANCHISE BUSINESS?

  • Franchise is a right granted to an individual or group to market a company’s goods or services within a certain territory or location. Some examples of today’s popular franchises are McDonald’s, Subway, Domino’s Pizza, and the UPS Store. Franchising has become one of the most popular ways of doing business in today’s marketplace.

  • There are many different types of franchises. Many people associate only fast food businesses with franchising. In fact, there are over 120 different types of franchise businesses available today, including automotive, cleaning & maintenance, health & fitness, financial services, and pet-related franchises, just to name a few.

  • An individual who purchases and runs a franchise is called a “franchisee.” The franchisee purchases a franchise from the “franchisor.” The franchisee must follow certain rules and guidelines already established by the franchisor, and in most cases the franchisee must pay an ongoing franchise royalty fee, as well as an up-front, one-time franchise fee to the franchisor.

  • Today, franchising is helping thousands of individuals be their own boss and own and operate their own business. Franchising allows entrepreneurs to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. There is usually a much higher likelihood of success when an individual opens a franchise as opposed to a mom and pop business, since a proven business formula is in place. The products, services, and business operations have already been established.

  • Product distribution franchises simply sell the franchisor’s products and are supplier-dealer relationships. In product distribution franchising, the franchisor licenses its trademark and logo to the franchisees but typically does not provide them with an entire system for running their business. The industries where you most often find this Type of franchising are soft drinks, automobiles and gasoline.

  • Business format franchises, on the other hand, not only use a franchisor’s product, service and trademark, but also the complete method to conduct the business itself, such as the marketing plan and operations manuals. Some most popular franchising opportunities are in fast food, retail, service, automotive, maintenance, building and construction, business services and lodging industries.

Why Choosing Franchise over Starting A New Business?

TURNKEY BUSINESS

There are many entrepreneurs that have exactly what it takes to run a successful business but don’t have what it takes to get their business up and running. Buying a franchise eliminates almost all the hard work:

  • finding a location
  • negotiating a lease
  • hiring reliable contractors
  • doing everything on
  • time and within budget

PROVEN SYSTEM

When you buy a franchise, you buy a system. All franchises have an already-established system in place that you must follow. These systems are designed to improve the overall productivity and increase sales of each franchise. Having a proven system already in place eliminates the guesswork and errors a common business owner would normally face.

HIGHER SUCCESS

Buying a franchise is very different from starting a mom-and-pop business. Since there is an already established system in place, there is a higher likelihood of success. If you follow the system the franchisor has put in place, you should be on your way to running a very successful business.

TRAINING AND SUPPORT

Most franchise companies offer a 1-4 week training program that is usually held at their corporate offices or at an actual franchise location. This is what makes franchises stand out from every other business or business opportunity. The franchisor will train you to run your franchise exactly the same way their other franchise locations are run. This will ensure that you are running your business efficiently and will help to eliminate any common mistakes a new business owner usually faces. Also you will always have the support of the franchisor and the support of knowing you are part of a growing family. You will always be able to pick up the phone and ask questions to the franchisor or even to other franchisees.

BRAND AWARENESS

If you buy into a franchise system that is already established, the corporate image and brand awareness is already recognized. Customers are usually more comfortable purchasing items they are familiar with and working with companies they already know and trust.

MARKETING

There is usually no need to worry about advertising your franchise. The franchisor usually takes care of handling all of the marketing. If the franchisor does not handle the marketing, they will have an outline for you to follow and sometimes specific vendors that will have systems in place for you to use.
