What is a Franchise really all about?
A franchise is a simple relationship between the franchisor who owns the brand the business systems. and the franchisee who purchases the contract to operate an exact copy in a local area.
We have all heard of the big Franchises on the high street, like McDonalds and Subway for example, but did you know that in a report published 2018 from the BFA and NatWest. There were 48,600 franchise units in the UK, a rise of 10% from 2015. There are also 935 business format franchise systems, around double of what there were 20 years ago.
The BFA and NatWest survey also reported that the franchise industry contributes £17.3 billion to the UK GDP, 93% of franchisees claiming profitability and less than 1% of franchisors closing per years due to commercial failure.
This all sounds great, but I you still maybe thinking this most common question;
“Aren’t you just buying a job?”
The reality is very different, let me explain just a few benefits to buying into a tried and tested brand.
- Proven Business Model – Tried and tested over years to create the business model you will be buying into, the testing has been done and a streamline business has been created. You can be confident, that if you follow the process, you will succeed.
- Support – Experts and experience when you need questions answered without judgement, all of this included in your franchise. When in business you always need support, so to have it on tap and when you need it, it a big plus to success.
- Training – Continued learning and bespoke training throughout the life of your franchise, not just for the oven cleaning, but for the business development side too.
- Growth – Multi van or multiple territory is possible, take your business and grow, using the Proven Business Model, Support and Training, anything is possible.
In Business for Yourself – Not by Yourself!
Supported business models like a franchise offer you all the groundwork, you can get you going quicker, and you can see financial results quicker too. There is something to be said in having someone at the end of the phone or email that can assist you with the issues whilst on the job or in the back end of the business.
Ultimately the costs will be about the same, you just spend the money at different points.
