1.  EVALUATING THE FRANCHISE

 

Joining an established and well-managed franchise system can be rewarding, profitable and provide a level of safety that may not be available to non-franchisees staring their own independent businesses. As a franchisee, you are responsible for the day-to-day management of your business to the brand standards of your franchisor. Not all franchise opportunities are equally sound investments.

 

When you are making your decision to become a franchisee you should look closely and determine whether the franchisor can provide you with:

 

  • A tested and proven method of doing business

  • A clearly defined Brand and a recognized brand name that you can capitalize on in your local market

  • An extensive library of operations manuals and training programs for you and your management team and support for the training of your other personnel

  • A headquarters and field support team that is focused on improving your bottom line performance as well as enforcing its brand standards at each of its company owned and franchised locations

  • An active research and development program geared to developing new products and services to keep you ahead of the competition

  • A local and national advertising and marketing program that supports your business

  • The opportunity to invest in additional locations

  • A return on investment that meets your expectations
