How Do I Grow?

Franchise vs. Corporate Owned

Our answer shocks most people when we say, “If you can afford to grow corporately, then you should do that! It is 100 percent risk and 100 percent reward”.

But the truth is, most business owners simply cannot afford to self-fund multiple locations or maintain the infrastructure to grow outside of their own city.

Here are several questions that we like to ask our clients when they ask the question above:

  • How much would it cost to open another location or market for your business?
  • How many locations would you like to open in the next five years?
  • What’s the total cost of the amount above?
  • Do you have the time, money, resources, or staff to manage that process?

After answering these questions honestly, you may find that expanding your business through franchising will be a good fit for your business.

Am I Ready to Franchise? How to Know

One of the questions we are most frequently asked by clients is, “Is my business franchise ready?” Clients who are ready to grow their companies often see franchising as a cost- and time-effective way to do that, so they are eager to know if their businesses are good candidates for franchising.

Once you have determined whether your business is franchisable, you can go forward with a growth strategy that works best for you.

There are four main questions you need to ask yourself to determine “Is my business franchise ready?”

QUESTION 1

Has ANyone Asked if Your Business is a Franchise?

 This is typically the first question we ask our clients, and this is a huge indicator that you should at least consider looking into franchising your business. When people are inquiring about whether your business is a franchise, it is often because they are interested in owning and investing themselves.

If you have been asked this question more than once, you know that there is some interest in franchising your business.

Is my business is franchisable?

A thriving small business is a good place to start! Your business also needs to be easily replicated in a variety of locations, appealing both to consumers and to potential franchisees. On top of that, it needs to be profitable for the franchisee as well as you, the franchisor.

IS FRANCHISING THE RIGHT GROWTH STRATEGY?

Your business also needs to be easily replicated in a variety of locations, appealing both to consumers and to potential franchisees. We’ve done the homework, and we want to learn more about your business.

Do I Know How to Franchise My Business?

A thriving small business is a good place to start! Your business also needs to be easily replicated in a variety of locations, appealing both to consumers and to potential franchisees. On top of that, it needs to be profitable for the franchisee as well as you, the franchisor.

PErfecting your franchise plan

 Franchising a business is an exciting and challenging process, one that requires a solid understanding of the important steps involved. It doesn’t happen by itself and it doesn’t happen overnight.

It’s important to partner with a franchise development consulting firm that has the experience and the expertise to help you at every stage of your franchising journey. At Accurate Franchising, Inc., we’ve been helping businesses grow for three decades, including the eight franchise brands in our own portfolio, and we can do the same for you and your business by:

  • Designing corporate imagery
  • Strengthening your company’s branding
  • Ensuring your rights to your intellectual property
  • Creating a franchise business plan
  • Producing training programs, operations manuals, and materials
  • Making financial projections
  • Obtaining franchise lawyers

QUESTION 2

Are there Franchise competitors in your field?

The truth is that it is hard to find an industry that franchising does not already have a presence in; this is not necessarily a bad thing! If there are franchise competitors in your same industry already, that indicates that your business may have success in franchising.

Even better, franchising typically dominates the spaces that it gets in, so your business has a lot of potential to grow.

QUESTION 3

Can your business be replicated with a novice business owner?

There’s a lot more that goes into executing a franchise plan than simply waving a magic wand and pronouncing, “I’m ready to franchise my business!”

Finding Franchisees Who fit

At Accurate Franchising, Inc., we help businesses like yours expand rapidly through franchising to reap the rewards for both franchisees and franchisors. We can help you franchise your business and along the journey to help it grow.

Franchisees are your ambassadors, extensions of your brand, and your representatives, so it’s important to choose them very carefully. This means being a bit picky. It’s one thing to meet a prospective franchisee who is enthusiastic about your business and has the financial means to make the investment, but quite another to find someone with the business acumen, experience, and work ethic to make the franchise successful. Franchisees with a willingness to learn, ability to adapt to your proven system, and who have solid communication skills to interact effectively with staff and customers, will really help grow your franchise empire.

QUESTION 4

Could your business start in a new city and be profitable?

Similar to question three, this question alludes to the necessity of your business working in diverse circumstances. If your business will only work in one location or community, then it is not fit for franchising. However, if your business meets a universal need in a variety of locations and circumstances, then franchising is likely going to be the best expansion option for you.
