How to get franchise of levis?

Answer 1

Levi Strauss & Co., in business since 1853, is one of the largest name-brand jeans manufacturers with a global presence. The company's name recognition makes it a vital contender for Franchising, and as of 2011, Levi's Jeans had more than 200 franchise outlets. These outlets illustrate the company's success, but also make the available markets for new franchisees very limited. To open your own Levi's Jeans franchise store, you may have to be flexible in what markets you are willing to do business.

Step 1

Find out about available markets. Levi's Jeans may only have available franchising markets in developing countries, such as India. Research the market where you plan to open a franchise to see if there is a need for a Levi's Jeans store and whether it is a prime location for this type of business.

Step 2

Gather the funds for the associated costs. Levi's Jeans requires an initial franchise, advertising and royalty fees.

Step 3

Meet the requirements. Levi Strauss & Co. requires that you not only have access to the funds for the franchising cost, but you must have prior business experience as an owner or manager. Levi Strauss & Co. doesn't specify whether or not you need retail experience, only that you have successfully run a business. You must also be able to afford the ups and downs that come with owning a business, especially in the first year when the business may not be generating much profit.

Step 4

Complete the application. Fill it out and submit it with all of your accompanying documents that verify your finances. The application will ask about your financial situation and employment background. You must also list the details about the market where you wish to open your franchise.

Step 5

Attend your scheduled appointment at the Levi's Jeans corporate office in the country of your target market. After reviewing your application, a franchise representative will contact you if you are a good fit as a Levi's franchise. You can expect more information about the franchise and what is expected of you as a franchise owner at your business franchise meeting. You will also learn what steps to take to complete the application process. Have your financial documentation handy.

Step 6

Hire a franchise attorney to look over the Levi's Jeans master agreement before signing. Have the attorney review the terms with you, covering any legal ramifications on your part, before you agree to anything. Once you and your attorney are satisfied, sign the master agreement and return it.
