How to transform your business concept into a franchise business model?
“Ideas don’t make you rich. The correct execution of ideas does. “
In today’s highly competitive world, innovative concepts are the key to success for any entrepreneur. Ultimately, successful business starts with a great concept, no doubt about it.
In this challenging economy, franchising can help you grow your business and take it to new heights, and franchising is a great way to grow your business by reducing the overhead costs of opening your company’s branches in new locations.
You might be surprised to learn that McDonald’s, Subway, Domino’s Pizza, the giants of the franchising world, started from a small store like a small business.
But becoming a franchisor is not the surest way to success. The right effective business concepts are essential for starting a franchising business effectively and successfully.
Once your business model is ready, evaluate it first
The first question is whether your business is franchisiable. Is another location viable for your business? Do customers demand your product or service? Is your business profitable enough to expand your business? Is the company’s target market large enough to provide adequate support systems for franchisees at various locations?
Opening franchises elsewhere under your ownership guarantees that your business model will not be duplicated and that it will be scalable. Once you get two successful and profitable locations you are sure that the business will not close and then you can more easily branch out to other places.
Do market research
How much demand there is from customers outside of your city for products / services that come under your brand in terms of your franchise business and how many opportunities there are for new competitors in the local market? Do market research to know this.
Choose the right locations
Locations, where your franchise outlets keep your company in good condition? Where have you made an identity earlier than expected by the brand? Choose some of the starting locations near you, but at a distance so that sales of your starting location don’t decrease. This way you can easily manage logistics.
Create legal documents
As you prepare your legal documents, draft your franchise agreement, lease and royalty agreement. You will have to make a lot of decisions about how you will act as a franchisor. It includes the following points:
• Franchise fees and royalty percentages
• Term of franchise agreement
• The size of the area in which you are approving the franchise
• In which geographical region would you like to offer a franchise?
• The type and duration of the training program you are offering
• Does the franchisee need to purchase products or facilities from your company?
Hire skilled staff
Usually, as you prepare to become a franchisor, you will need to hire several employees, who are completely focused on helping the franchisee. Your ‘service and support’ team is responsible for answering the franchisee’s doubts and issues and ensuring quality control. Set your service criteria and insist on high quality.
Franchise sales
If you are in the market as a franchisor then market and sell your franchise now. It is difficult to sell a franchise because of the high risk involved. Your salesperson should be well-informed about your company and be prepared to give convincing information about why their time and money is worth investing. Choose your franchise by making sure carefully. Remember, your success depends on them.
Franchise support
It takes a lot of effort to develop a brand as a franchisor. But at the point where your business model succeeds or fails, you begin to support your franchise network. Quality control will be created through your training program and other support. In order to generate revenue through franchisees, you will need to market a growing franchise chain.
Summary
Before deciding on a model franchise, it is important to fully understand the business model of a franchisee. Be aware that in-depth research and preparation will be required if you want to transform your company into a franchise model. Not many people are aware of the time commitments required for a company’s franchise as well as the money required to succeed in this vast field accessible to customers and franchisees.
