As you contemplate expanding your successful business, you’ve likely seen two common growth strategies: franchise and company owned. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses and will impact how you run your business. If you choose to franchise your business, know that the process is nearly always more cost-effective and requires less time and energy than adding corporate locations.

There are nearly 775,000 franchise establishments in the U.S. that employ 8.43m people and see revenue of $787.5bn. Franchising can bring your business to new areas, allow you to manage the company with a lighter hand, see a return on investment through royalties, and experience steady and gradual growth.

The Cost of Going It Alone

When you expand your business on your own, more front-end expenses will be incurred before you’ll see a return on investment. You’ll likely pay for each item individually, which will require budgeting accordingly to ensure that all of your expenses are accounted for.

Costs can include:

  • Trademark registration fees ~$2,500
  • Operations manual ~$1,000
  • Legal documents ~$30,000
  • Legal fees/state registration fees ~$20,000
  • Accountant’s fees/audited financial statements ~$15,000
  • Recruiting franchisees ~$50,000
  • Hiring franchise talent ~Salary

While these are just estimates, without the talent, you’re already looking at nearly $120K to expand your business on your own.
