Some information is misleading, confusing and focuses more on selling franchises than actual substance about franchising. Other information you find may only give partial facts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Franchise Maker has helped business owners evaluate franchise readiness for decades across a wide range of industries. We believe business owners deserve straight-forward answers about franchising without hype or fluff.\u00a0 So if you have ever wondered what the actual requirements are to franchise a business, let\u2019s break down some of the most common questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Quick Answer: What is Required to Franchise a Business?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In most cases, a business should have:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A proven business model<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Processes that can be replicated<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Trademark protection for the brand<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A Franchise Disclosure Document (known as an FDD)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A business model that can realistically be duplicated by others (franchisees)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Contrary to popular belief, there is no government-required revenue threshold, minimum number of locations, or set profit level required before franchising a business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, just because a business <em>can<\/em> franchise does not necessarily mean it is fully <em>ready<\/em> to franchise. In other words, a successful independent business is not always automatically franchise-ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is Your Business Required to Make a Certain Amount of Revenue?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nope! There is no set amount of revenue that your business is required to make in order to franchise and you are not required to disclose the amount of revenue your current business is making (see &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchisemaker.com\/learningcenter\/how-much-do-i-need-to-make-before-i-franchise-my-business\/\">How Much Do I Need to Make Before I Franchise My Business?<\/a>&#8220;). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Different industries naturally operate at different revenue levels, so there is no universal financial benchmark established by any governmental agency for franchising eligibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That said, it is important that your business model is sustainable and can work in different markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do You Need More Than One Location to Franchise?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not at all. Technically speaking you do not need to have any business in operation to franchise, however we <em>strongly<\/em> encourage that you have <em>at least one<\/em> business in operation for proof of concept (take a look at &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchisemaker.com\/learningcenter\/do-i-need-multiple-locations-before-franchising\/\">Do I Need Multiple Locations Before Franchising<\/a>&#8220;). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many nationally recognized franchise systems originally began with just one company-owned location before expanding through franchising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It also does not matter whether or not your business is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> mobile<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">home-based<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">or at an actual brick-and-mortar location.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is There an Average Profit Your Business Should Be Making Before Franchising?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Profitability varies dramatically depending on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">industry<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">operating expenses<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">management style<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">staffing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">location<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is no official profit threshold required before franchising a business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is also important to understand that discussing earnings improperly during franchise sales conversations can create legal issues.
