FRANCHISE

One big advantage to purchasing a franchise is you have access to an established company’s brand name. You won’t need to spend resources getting your name and product out to customers. Widely recognized benefits include a ready-made business formula to follow. A franchise comes with market-tested products and services, and in many cases established brand recognition. Business format franchises often provide a full range of services, including:

• Site selection.
• Training.
• Product/Service supply.
• Marketing plans.
• Financing

There are several aspects to the franchising method that appeal to prospective business owners. You are given a format or system developed by the company (“franchisor”), the right to use the franchisor’s name for a limited time, and assistance. For example, the franchisor may help you find a location for your outlet; provide initial training and an operating manual; and advise you on management, marketing, or personnel. Franchisors also offer ongoing support, such as a toll-free telephone number for technical assistance, and periodic workshops or seminars.

Perhaps your most important step in evaluating a franchise opportunity is examining your own skills, abilities, and experience. The ideal franchisee is a creative, outgoing person who is eager to succeed, but not so independent that he or she resents other people’s advice. You must be able to balance your entrepreneurial initiative with a willingness to comply with the business formulas used by the franchiser. Remember, a successful partnership between a franchisee and franchisor involves a mutual understanding of each other’s values and achievements.

Determine exactly what you want out of life and what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve your goals. Be honest, rigorous and specific. Ask yourself: Am I qualified for this field:

• Physically?
• By experience?
• By education?
• By learning capacity?
• Financially?
