Franchising your business is always an option when your have a service or business system which is easy to replicate and teach to others. It can take a lot of time, money and effort to get a franchise off the ground but generally it’s cheaper and faster to expand through franchising than any other business model.
Firstly your business product or service must have proved itself to be successful and able to generate more than a decent yearly income. That’s very important because without that fact in place, and the financial statements to prove it, you will not succeed in signing franchisee’s.
The number one reason those buyers are in the market to purchase a franchise is to make themselves money.
So assuming you do have a successful product or service the next thing to ask is could someone else replicate it and be just as successful as you but in a totally different geographical location?
This is at the heart of franchising so the success of your business must not depend in any way upon your own location, it must be something which could succeed wherever it’s started in the country.
Much thought will have to be put into breaking down the business for someone else to learn. You’ll need to write a very detailed Operations Manual explaining every facet of the job and back it up with in person training days as well. These can last anywhere from 1 day to 1 week normally. Your business cannot be so complicated that a complete beginner is going to struggle to learn it.
Selling your finished franchise going to be exciting and hard work at the same time. If you have failed to properly research the viability of your franchise then you may not sell any at all - quite a waste of time, effort and money! The single biggest factor for selling your franchise will be the potential it provides someone else to earn money. Remember they are risking an non refundable initial deposit so they are taking a risk.
There’s lots and lots of competition for franchises now days so the package and earnings you offer need to very attractive in order to stand any chance of success. In the next articles will go into this in lots more detail.
