What Would Hold You Back from Buying a Franchise?

In researching all types of different franchises in the last few months, interesting aspects have appeared literally from almost nowhere about the process. It would seem that purchasing a high ticket franchising business like McDonalds might be appealing for some, whereas, a Hampton Inn lodge, might be better for others. In both cases, we are looking at franchise business models that are costly, take massive amounts of capital and time investment to grow, and as usual, they would have to appeal to the particular tastes of the individual if they were interested in these two types of business models.

Another interesting aspect is that those that purchase these franchises, often go on to purchase more and more of them. One would suppose that a certain amount of the good old healthy USA greed must enter into the picture, or as in the case of the motel industry, foreign investors are quite eager to corner the market in the USA just because they want to do so. In case one is not paying attention to all of this happening around them, all we need do is look around at some of the major players in the franchising industry, and we will see that many foreign interests are simply coming in and quietly taking over the market. One might assume that its just healthy competition at work, but when an entire monopoly is unfolding, then there must be a reason that outside USA interests are making such a push towards owning all of the franchises they can obtain.

To answer the question more in depth about what would hold one back in purchasing a franchise, two main areas come to mind.

Money

Money, or rather the lack of money, might be one of the main reasons that would hold anyone back from purchasing a franchising type business. Money seems to always be at the root of everything that eager entrepreneurs try to obtain, but somehow, that elusive element is the chief reason that that buying a franchise of a million dollars or more, is simply out of the question. Obviously, most of us are not wealthy and powerful oil and gas tycoons, right?

So, the inevitable search goes on for finding a lending agency that will loan the money for a business startup. Can you imagine waltzing into your local Wells Fargo bank, and simply requesting a million dollars today for a business startup of any kind? Unless you could prove to the banker that you did not need the million dollars, chances are almost certain that you would not receive anything but the canned response, sorry, no can do!

The facts are quite clear that you must be able to prove to that bank that you do not need the money, and more often than not, you can get that money. Its just the way that this mysterious thing called life works. The old adage them that has, gets!

For most of us, simply living is an every day uphill struggle. Oh sure, we all drive the newest and latest vehicles, packed with all types of gadgets that we do not need, but in reality, most of those are way over financed, and the loss of just one paycheck, will send most to the streets, begging for a crust of bread.

Work

There is also a looming entity about franchise businesses that prevail. People are just not willing to work at the pace required to operate a franchising type business. More often than not, eighty hours a week or more may be required for the normal day to day tasks that will be required to build the business. Most Americans will shun that right out of the gate, as their interpretation of a work week would be more in the area of forty or less hours spent in the pursuit of making money.

In case you may not be paying attention, cultural apathy is taking its toll on people around the world. The thought of hard work just seems to be totally out of the picture. This applies especially to the younger person's thinking these days. All people right out of college want to start out making over a hundred grand a year. If they cannot accomplish this, and most cannot, they will just go back and live with mom and dad until the business appears automatically. The old ways of working from the ground up and earning your way in the world seems to be a rather old fashioned one, to say the least.

It is really no different in the world of franchising. The thought prevails that getting rich with no effort could be the general thought of the process, while in reality, working to earn, before you earn, is most often the case. So the continuous process of trying to find a magic bullet to success keeps going on and on.

We offer something rather unique. It is not a franchise, but a substantial franchise alternative. It is far less costly to buy, and is producing incomes much faster than the conventional time demanding ones. The only way to gain access to the offer is by filling out the forms found on the above links. After that, we can sit down and discuss in details, what the process is, and after that, you will make the decision to go for it, or sit back and just hope that something better will magically appear.

Just to let you know, we are also quite equipped to help you with the marketing aspect of the franchise alternative business as well!

Franchise

Those That Have...Those That Want

Today, there seems to be two different kinds of people who would be seeking a franchise business model. Those that have, and those that want They are not that different in their thinking except one group will actively pursue and possibly find a business that they can operate, and then go on from there to see that their profit making machine grows even larger. These would be the entrepreneurial minded individual or group that is totally dedicated to creating a business plan, conduct the market research for their particular interest and pursue with all fervor and diligence to see that the franchise amplifies into an even bigger monopolistic type entity over time. One might say that those that have, want more!

Those That Want

This type of dreaming, planning and conceiving individual is always thinking about a way out. They may not be happy being in a conventional day job, and their whole existence could be built around just getting out. They want out of the rat race. They want out of that bad relationship. They want out of the world as they know it, and feel the need to constantly search and research, thinking that there is a magic bullet that will propel them into a rich new world of profit and money. One could class those individuals as the dreamers of the world. They are incessantly dreaming, but actually do not progressive action to make those dreams come true.

For the ones that already have, as in the case of a profitable franchise business model, they simply want more. It could be greed, lust for money, and will stop at nothing to overtake an entire region with their one of a kind business model. These are the movers and shakers of the world. Their passion for living is making more money than anyone else, living life on a different scale than most, and are always driven to succeed, no matter what the cost.

There are as many different options in franchising as there are the different kinds of people who search for them. For those that have no problem developing and growing a business, then a franchise may work well. For those that simply dream, then chances are very likely that nothing will be gained of any value in the incessant search for the quick and easy way to make money.

As with traditional franchises, there are many franchise alternatives that can be viewed as alternative options. Many of these are workable, more cost effective to purchase, and provide a better income potential. The secret to uncovering these profit potentials will be found in conducting extensive marketing research. It is well worth taking a close look at these by clicking on the various links in this article.

The Franchise

The Franchise in Bad Economic Times

In case one has not noticed it, the US economy is suffering. That might be a little hard to believe, as one could assume by watching the throngs of people packed into shopping malls and purchasing stuff they did not need, with money that they did not have, it would seem to be a quite rosy picture. If one chooses to watch the slanted views of the news like CNN, one might assume that all is getting better, but that is far from the truth as well. Digging in deep for the coming economic collapse is the smart thing to do, even for franchise owners.

Researching current trends in franchising would show that traditional franchises like Subway and McDonalds is beginning to flatten out. After all, there is just so much room on the block for another processed hamburger joint, right? Besides those high ticket franchising gigs are extremely expensive to buy, and the fact of the matter is that the franchise business owner will work long and arduous hours to bring the business model into profit for long term.

Its times like these that people begin to burrow in for the catastrophe, or at least they should be. They should be finding alternative ways to franchise that is showing rapid growth, and protect their in house assets like food, by knowing that it will get worse, before it gets better. I go back in time when George Carlin did a presentation about people and their stuff. The fact is that people buy stuff. What people buy on payday is a clear indication that the rich get richer, they buy assets, and the poor get poorer, they buy stuff. Look at any Wal Mart on any given day, and that will be quite obvious.

It is rich to watch the different people as they approach the field of business building. Many will dig deep and find in their marketing, that research is the key to success. Others will simply go the same way as always, and try to pitch their newest and latest widget business. There is no difference at all in the franchise game. Often times, the sickening rhetoric that we all see in regards to MLM or network marketing, will certainly apply to the franchise business advertising as well. It is shocking to see the same old get rich quick with the newest and greatest widget franchise, and here will come the mass of people falling for the pitches like lambs to the slaughter. Cynical am I? Hardly. Realistic am I? Indeed! Unfranchises are the way to find the best deals for the best prices in terms of franchising. The outlay of money spent will be smaller, and the potentials are actually better than the major players in franchising game.

The game is surviving and prospering in 2012. After all, there were many millionaires made during the great depression. Will you be prepared to survive, or will you follow that soccer MOM to the mall for more goodies that they cannot afford?

Why Would Someone Purchase a Franchise?

Having discussed with others concerning the franchise business model, it would seem that many approach the buying or finding of a franchise by reading information that is written more like an MLM pitch, than professionally looking at marketing research data, and establishing a professional approach to the matter at hand. One does not simply decide one day to buy an expensive franchise. If they do choose that path to follow, then most times, they will find themselves saddled with an eighty hour or more per week job. This was more than likely not their intention at all. They were looking for a way to make money without effort. Dare I say that this just does not happen in the real world.

Finding, and then purchasing a franchise business model will require an intensive path to market research, evaluation, digging deep into the process, talking with successful franchise owners, and of course, entering into the legal field will all be part of the process. The more into the process that one goes, the more that interesting facts will begin to be found about this so called, best way to build a business called franchising.

1. Franchises Are Expensive - One can expect to pay dearly for this misunderstood business building system called the franchise. After researching, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a franchise can be expected. That does not include the actual day by day operating expenses, the wages paid, the building expenses, the taxes and all other facets of building a business. Also included in the money game are the fees that will be paid to the corporate for the exclusive branded rights of the business in question.

2. Hours of Work Will Be Included - For many, finding a good franchising type business model, and then building that into an economically profitable venture will require massive amounts of time and effort. If one thinks that buying a franchise is all that there is to it, then they have no clue to the real process. Working daily, sometimes well beyond what the normal job would require, is the too often scenario found in a franchise business proposition.

3. Building a Business Requires Resources - There is no other way to state the art of franchising other than it is building a business. Unfortunately, most people who enter into franchising have no clue as to the process called business building. They believe that it will be simple and much easier to just buy a job, than it would be to work for another. Quite the contrary will be found.

Slow Growth to Profitability - It will take years of dedication and services to the franchise business before profit is being made. There are simply no quick and easy ways today to making money. It will be a slow and consistent effort, most often a lifetime, before a business model will reach its full income potential. Those seeking franchising business opportunities can expect to spend an entire lifetime and beyond to really see the type of success they are seeking.

Why Would Someone Purchase a Franchise?

That question is really becoming stronger with time as I continue to research and learn all about franchising. My marketing research is beginning to show me that traditional franchise business opportunities are beginning to flatten out. This means that high ticket models are being not as highly regarded as they once were, and many are turning to a more home based business franchise model to pursue. This may show that operating a franchise alternative from a SOHO business model may just be the answer.

Franchise

Franchise for Moms

Be in business for yourself, but not by yourself. That is the slogan most used for franchising. And its true. Franchising gives you the opportunity to be your own boss and have your own business without needing to come up with the idea, the systems or the strategy. Plus, you have the training and support of the franchisor.

We are seeing more and more women enter the world of franchising, but I think its especially appealing for a mom entrepreneur. With so many families needing two incomes, franchising gives moms the opportunity to make money and still have the flexibility to be with their family. Certainly, the amount of work and flexibility depend on the franchise you purchase.

Franchising is simply a method of distributing a product or service. It is a great way for the franchisor to expand his or her business, and for the franchisee to take advantage of a proven business model. Most people think of expensive brick-and-mortar businesses like Basking-Robbins and McDonalds when they think of franchises. But there are lots of low-cost and home-based franchise opportunities. Thousands of stay-at-home moms are bringing in steady paychecks while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and home. In fact, check out Entrepreneurs listings of top 10 low-cost franchises and top 10 home-based franchises.

So why is a franchise good for a working mom?

You dont have to reinvent the wheel. Moms are busy, and although we are full of ideas, its great to have a guide to success. A good franchise will have training and operations manuals to walk you through how to run your business.

As franchisor Heidi Ganahl, founder of Camp Bow Wow, puts it: "Franchising in general is good for moms because it takes a lot of the school of hard knocks out of the process of starting a business. Everything is all figured out for you when you open a franchise. ... This in itself is very necessary when you have kids, because it eliminates a great deal of time that would have otherwise been spent building the business from scratch."

Franchises have a higher rate of success. Taking risks is hard for everyone, but even harder for a mom who has family on the line. A 1999 U.S. Chamber of Commerce study found that franchised businesses have a 97 percent success rate within five years of opening compared with a 48 percent rate for non franchised businesses.

You are the boss. Without a doubt, one of the hardest things for a working mom is balancing work and motherhood. Its agonizing to handle sick kids, school plays and holidays along with a traditional work schedule. As a franchise owner, you are the boss. You can set your own hours and dont have to ask anyones permission for time off.

You get the support. All moms need support. A good franchise will have a support team to help you succeed in your business. It connects you with a network of other franchisees, so you are truly part of a community.

With any business, its important to find the right one. Find a business that you are passionate about, but also one that will fit with your desired life as a mom. Talk to other franchisees to find out whether the company is truly supportive of motherhood and a flexible lifestyle. Will you be able to work from home? How many hours a week will you need to work?

Work from home does not mean youre not working. Just as any mom knows that motherhood is full-time work, any franchise will be work, too. As with most things, you will get out of it what you put into it. Many will not require full-time traditional hours, but all take dedicated work time to grow and support the business.

Balancing work and motherhood is tough. But its also exciting and full of opportunity. Kids benefit greatly from seeing their mom as an entrepreneur. They grow along with your business. I think mommy business owners are amazing role models for their kids. I have always said that our franchisees have my dream job -- a business that can be run in just a few hours a day and that puts motherhood first.

The mom who needs to make extra money to supplement incomes may indeed look upon franchising as the way to accomplish that task; however, many high ticket franchises are expensive to buy, and if that mom is looking to spend more time with the family, and less time at the job, then certainly there should be some deep research in that area.

Franchise alternatives could be the solution for the busy working mom to pursue. To learn more, just click any of the links found in this article.

Franchise

Franchise business models carry certain criteria that should be carefully considered. Making snap judgements about a particular franchise business opportunity can lead to certain financial disaster. A long term business venture is far more appealing than some quick buck business. In terms of how long does it take to be in profit with any business, that final outcome will come after fully digging into the business, and never letting go of the fact that success will become imminent.

Purchasing a franchise is like any other investment: it comes with risk. When you think about a particular franchise, think about the demand for the products or services it offers, competitors that offer similar products or services, the franchisor’s background, and the level of support you will receive.

Demand

Is there a demand for the franchisor’s products or services in your community? Is it seasonal or ever- green? Could you be dealing with a fad? Does the product or service generate repeat business?

Competition

What’s the level of competition—nationally, regionally, and locally? How many franchised and company-owned outlets are in your area? Does the franchise sell products or services that are easily available online or through a catalog? How many competing companies sell similar products or services? Are they well-established or widely recognized by name in your community? Do they offer a similar product at a similar price?

Your Ability to Operate the Business

Sometimes, franchise systems fail. What will happen to your business if the franchisor closes up shop? Will you need the franchisor’s ongoing training, advertising, or other help to succeed? Will you have access to the same suppliers? Could you conduct the business alone if you have to cut costs or lay anyone off?

Before you invest in a particular franchise system, think about how much money you have to invest, your abilities, and your goals. Be brutally honest.

Name Recognition

Buying a franchise gives you the right to associate with the company’s name or brand. The more widely recognized the name, the more likely it is to draw in customers.

Consider:

name and brand recognition for the company and its product or service
whether the company has a registered trademark
how long the franchisor has been in business
whether the company’s reputation is for quality products or services
whether consumers have filed complaints against the franchise with the Better Business Bureau or a local consumer protection agency

Training and Support Services

What training and continuing support does the franchisor provide? Does the franchisor’s training measure up to the training for workers in the particular industry? Can you compete with others who have more formal training? What backgrounds do the current franchise owners have? Is your education, experience, or training similar?

Franchisor’s Experience

Many franchisors operate well-established companies with years of experience both in selling goods or services and managing a franchise system. Some franchisors started by operating their own business. There is no guarantee, however, that a successful entrepreneur can successfully manage a franchise system.

Find out:

how long the franchisor has managed a franchise system
whether the franchisor has enough expertise to make you feel comfortable. If the franchisor has little experience managing a chain of franchises,
take any promises about guidance, training, and other support with the proverbial grain of salt.

Growth

A growing franchise system increases the franchisor’s name and brand recognition and may enable you to attract customers. But growth alone does not’t ensure successful franchisees. Indeed, a company that grows too quickly may not be able to support its franchisees with the support services it promises them. Investigate the franchisor’s financial assets and resources; are they sufficient to support the franchisees?

Franchising Business Model

The Franchise Business Model

When one looks at the definition of franchising, it may clear up some of the mystery surrounding exactly what it is, who it is designed for and also let readers know that a sustainable franchise is only possible through diligence, hard work, and maybe even some luck thrown in as well. Franchising is the practice of using another firm's successful business model. For the franchisor, the franchise is an alternative to building 'chain stores' to distribute goods and avoid investment and liability over a chain. The franchisor's success is the success of the franchisees. The franchisee is said to have a greater incentive than a direct employee because he or she has a direct stake in the business.

The paragraph above gives a decent definition of franchising, but there are several elements that go into the finding of a great franchise type business model.

Some of the elements concerning franchising are found below:

A good track record of profitability.
Easily duplicated.
Detailed systems, processes and procedures.
Broad geographic appeal.
Relatively easy to operate.
Relatively inexpensive to operate

There are some definition terms that would need an immense amount of clarification when talking to someone about buying a franchise type business. The term easily duplicated would seem to send shivers up and down the spine of anyone who has been told, "just do what I do, and succeed." This seems to conjure up the proverbial MLM type thinking, and obviously franchise business models are not, or should not be advertised in this way, should they? On the contrary, if one searches on Google for the term franchise, there will indeed be found many advertisements talking about getting rich quick with no effort. So, once again tough questions must be asked when considering buying a franchise.

The term easy to operate also brings to mind some questions. An easy to operate business may look good from the outside looking in, but when the individual actually begins to work the business, it could be a different scenario. Too often, eager entrepreneur type people will jump into a business before thoroughly investigating all the different areas of the business. Research and patience is the key to finding a business, but hard work and dedication is the way to build that business for future returns on money spent.

Another term above which would be relatively inexpensive to operate, also brings to mind another question. Is a costly high ticket franchising business model really inexpensive to operate? Au contraire would be an adequate term to use. A business, any business, whether involved with franchising or not, is going to require great resources in time, money and effort. Inexpensive is a relative term. If one has millions, then a few hundred thousand is not a huge amount. If one has thousands, then Hundreds are a hurdle.

In conclusion, is franchising a safe investment in 2012? It would seem that finding a good franchise alternative could be the answer to the riddle. To learn more about that type of system, simply follow the links in this article and learn more!

If I Had a Million Dollars, Would I Purchase a Franchise?

In writing about franchises lately, I have uncovered some very interesting details. First off, I am not a franchise business owner, but I do have an interest in this topic, so like all projects that I am interested in, I dig in deep to uncover as much information as I possibly can about topics of which I am interested

I have known and spoken with some franchise business owners, and I also have searched on Google for other topics that might be involved that will help me to dig in deeper to the franchising way of life. As usual, some of the information on the Internet is valuable, while others is nothing more than an MLM pitch deal. I am not into pitches at all, but it would seem commonplace among the people who try to promote the franchise as being some type of magic button. Just jump on board, pay your money, and you will succeed, right?

As any true business professional would know, there is simply no magic button that can be pushed for success. Anything of value must be fully worked on a regular basis, to make any kind of substantial income for long term growth and prosperity. The franchise is no different, and as a point of fact, I begin to wonder after my research, exactly why anyone would lay out big money to become involved in what looks like to me, a business model that will be far more rigorous to build, than just having a conventional job.

The facts are very clear at this point is that when a franchise is purchased from any of the major players, a standard work week could entail as much as, or exceeding, eighty hour s per week. Personally, I find this amazing that someone would actually buy a job, and then have to put in those types of hours just to bring in money to live.

If I Had a Million Dollars, Would I Purchase a Franchise?

To answer that question honestly, I would certainly say no. The facts that I have accumulated over the course of the last few months concerning franchising lead me to wonder exactly why someone would choose to buy a job.. I believe that I would find a great franchising alternative business model to build and grow, and as a matter of fact, I would spend far less money with that model, and have equal, or better returns on the money that I chose to spend. I would simply buy into an already existing branded business, and contact my customers on a regular basis, to assure that my business would in fact prosper. Could there really be such a franchise like business that would offer that type of potential? Simply click any of the links in this article to learn more!

The Franchise

Researching various franchise business models is the way to connect with exhibiting information, and begin the overall process to see if indeed, a franchise is a good business model to follow.

I cam across an interesting website from McDonald's.com that talked about the requirements needed to start a franchise with this well known franchising entity. As one can see below, the monetary outlay of this investment is rich; however, as anyone knows, McDonalds is an already established business model that people can buy into, and almost assure themselves of making substantial income for the long term.

An initial down payment is required when you purchase a new restaurant (40% of the total cost) or an existing restaurant (25% of the total cost). The down payment must come from non-borrowed personal resources, which include cash on hand; securities, bonds, and debentures; vested profit sharing (net of taxes); and business or real estate equity, exclusive of your personal residence.

Since the total cost varies from restaurant to restaurant, the minimum amount for a down payment will vary. Generally, we require a minimum of $500,000 of non-borrowed personal resources to consider you for a franchise. Individuals with additional funds may be better prepared for additional or multi-restaurant opportunities.

During the term of the franchise, you pay McDonald’s the following fees:

Service fee: a monthly fee based upon the restaurant’s sales performance (currently a service fee of 4.0% of monthly sales).

Rent: a monthly base rent or percentage rent that is a percentage of monthly sales.

Even after the franchise business model is purchased, there is money that will be going out each month for the privilege of owning one of the esteemed franchises.

In the research conducted so far into the world of franchising, this seems to be the common occurrence. Eager entrepreneurs will soon learn that there may be much more to owning and operating a franchise than previously expected. It is important to understand how the franchise works, and see if it is a fit for the particular personality in question.

The Franchise

Original Post Found @ Franchise

In researching franchises on Google, it becomes very apparent that the information is rich, but can be quite confusing as well. It would seem that authority sites listed, like FTC.GOV, do provide needed information and insights about the legalities of franchising. Much of the other information seems to be rather obscure, hard to sift and sort through, and is once again indicative of having to literally wade through tons of bad information, to find the good stuff. It can be seen readily that if one were trying to find out how to start a franchising business of any kind, the sources on the big search engine will require some time, effort and diligence. For most, the part of conducting research might better be left to the experts. Once again, where does one find such experts in the field of franchising? One would think that substantial law firms which deal directly with franchises would be the logical place to begin.

Perhaps this is a positive note as any franchise prospect would need to be intelligent, proactive towards their business model, and should be prepared to do whatever is necessary to succeed. Obviously, franchise businesses may not be for everyone who desires to find a job alternative. It takes a special type of individual to make it in business today. The far gone now mom and pop stores of yesterday have been replaced with nationally and internationally branded business models that make it all but impossible to survive in today's dwindling economy.

Building a business takes time, effort and dogged determination to make it succeed.

This often leads to frustration and burnout very quickly as is evident by the mass of forgotten building across the US that once housed successful big name franchise models.

Franchise

The franchising industry is looking up in 2012 after several rough post-recession years of tight credit and weak consumer spending.

Franchisees -– entrepreneurs who own and operate branches of chain businesses such as McDonald’s, Hampton Inns and Suites and H&R Block -– support 12% of the country’s private sector, according to the International Franchise Association. The group anticipates improvement in franchised industries including retail, real estate and personal services.

Although the expected rate of growth is still below what it was before the recession, jobs at franchised location are expected to grow 2.1% in 2012 to 8.1 million positions. About half of those workers will be employed at restaurant franchises.

The number of establishments will rise 1.9% to 749,500 units and revenue will boom 5% to $782 billion. Franchise businesses account for 3% of the country’s gross domestic product, according to the association.

But there are still plenty of hang-ups. Franchisees and franchisers -– the chain companies that recruit the entrepreneurs –- say they’re frustrated with the slow economic recovery, a lukewarm welcome for small businesses in Washington and rising prices for commodities.

Access to credit has not’t improved, according to two-thirds of franchisers and nearly half of franchisees. Eight in 10 franchisers and more than half of franchisees say stingy lenders have limited their ability to expand. Still, 85% of franchisers say they’ll increase the number of locations anyway, and more than three-quarters anticipate an increase in consumer sales. Franchisees, though, are a little less optimistic.

Franchise alternatives are also being seen as valuable ways to start a business model, be far less expensive than the high ticket players, and provide a better return on money spent. Click the link below to learn more.
