The Benefits
of Franchise Ownership
The benefits of owning a franchise vs building your own
business from the ground up are many. We've listed a few
here that you should find interesting...
- Established Track Record
As a franchise buyer, you become part of a proven system of operation. Your
franchisor offers a concept with products and services that have sold successfully.
You have history to learn from and to help you predict your own future.
- Faster Start Up
You have a short learning curve as a franchise owner,
because you have assistance from a franchisor with
lots of experience to draw upon in starting other new
operations successfully. You and your personnel often
get on-the-job instruction.
- Less Risk
Your chances of failure are lower with a franchise operation,
because of the experience, expertise and proven resources
that support you in your business. Franchises succeed
at the rate of 90%.
- Low Investment
Most franchises keep their front-end investment demands
low, which favors new entrepreneurs. Moreover, a franchisor
will often help new franchisees borrow by facilitating
arrangements with lending institutions, which look
positively on lending to franchisees because of their
high success rates.
- Purchasing Power
The group purchasing power of franchisees can make a
big difference in your costs of doing business. Large
buying groups can typically demand significantly lower
prices on goods and services.
- Name Recognition and
Brand Awareness
With an established franchise, you get the benefits that
occur from marketing an established brand of products
or services. With a new franchise, you can grow and contribute
to the creation of the brand.
- Business Support
As a franchisee, you will generally receive valuable,
ongoing business support, including site selection,
training, recipes, marketing, new technology and more.
Franchisers will assist you in developing a business
plan, in learning the best ways to hire and manage
personnel, and in how to profitably manage your facility.
