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, innovation is the key to success for any entrepreneur. Ultimately, a successful business starts with a great idea, no doubt about it. In this challenging economy, franchising can help you grow your business and take it to a higher level, while 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 franchisee. 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 in other locations under your ownership guarantees that your business model will not be duplicated and 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 the products / services that come under your brand in terms of your franchise business and how much opportunity there is for new competitors in the local market? Do market research to know this.
- Choose the right locations.
Stores at which locations keep your company in good condition? Where did you get the brand recognition earlier than expected? Choose a few locations near you for the start, but at a distance so that sales of your starting location will not decrease. That way you can easily manage logistics.
- Create legal documents
As you prepare your legal documents, draft your franchise agreement, lease and royalty agreement. You have to make a lot of
decisions about how you will act as a franchisor. It includes the following points:
- Franchise fees and royalty percentage
- 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 a number of employees who are fully focused on helping the franchisee. Your ‘Service and Support’ team is responsible for answering the franchisee’s concerns and problems and ensuring quality control. Set your service criteria and insist on high quality.
- Franchise sales
If you are a franchisor in the market, 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 a convincing explanation of why their time and money are worth investing in.
