You’ve probably heard this\u00a0statement (or something like it), more than a couple times…maybe from someone at a networking mixer, or even from a business owner you know. When you hear this, your immediate response should be: “Have you ever thought of franchising?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s nearly every business owner’s dream that their business goes viral and expands into different markets. However, the challenge is HOW<\/strong><\/em> without adding lots of overhead<\/span> (see article “Open More Locations or Franchise”<\/a>). When a business owner wants to or<\/strong> simply needs to expand<\/strong><\/em> (because they can only do so much themselves), franchising should be explored.<\/span><\/p>\n

We often hear\u00a0some common statements from business owners struggling with their decision to expand. Here are a couple of these statements:<\/span><\/p>\n

“I want to\u00a0expand my business, but I don’t want to hire more employees.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When a business owner wants to expand, finding the time, the money and the right staff can leave them\u00a0frustrated. But when a business franchises, the business owner (now franchisor) brings on entrepreneurs, not<\/em> employees<\/em>, that will\u00a0operate their business in other markets. These entrepreneurs are in business for themselves and have a vested interest in making it a success. Furthermore, the franchisor does not invest any of his or her money or take on the risk of opening the business in these other markets, and still maintains control over how the business is to be operated.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n“I’m tired of training my competition.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n

When a business is well run and successful, that will inevitably spur copycat businesses (for example, look at the real estate industry). And guess what? Some of those came from ex-employees! Give your employees an incentive; provide them with an easy way into business ownership so they can still be part of your system, not one of your competitors. With a franchise model in place, your employees could be the first ones to be awarded a franchise. Having this option may be very appealing to employees and creates tremendous loyalty.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the next time you hear any of these statements, chime in and let that business owner know that “Perhaps\u00a0you\u00a0should look at franchising and\u00a0for a lot less than you think,<\/span> The Franchise Maker<\/a>\u00a0will turn\u00a0almost any type of\u00a0business into a franchise system.”\u00a0\u00a0The Franchise Maker will make franchising\u00a0their business Easy, Quick & Affordable!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
