Making the decision to franchise a small business can be one of the biggest decisions in the history of a company. Along with the huge risk comes a huge responsibilities and a lot of work, but if done properly the payoff can be great. Here are a few tips to help start to franchise a small business.
1) Expand the business: Before committing to a Franchising plan, ensure that the business is versatile and can run successfully in other markets. In order to do this, a good start may be to begin by opening and operating multiple locations, in different areas. By having more than one operation running, the company name becomes more visible, the business has a chance to reach more clientele and potential customers, as well as give the potential investors peace of mind that the business can be a viable asset.
2) Get a consultant: Even if franchising a business seems like a great idea, it just might not be. In order to ensure that the small business could make the successful transition to franchise, hire a franchising consultant. An independent consultant can help with business plans, legal advice, and can help with the next steps in the franchising process.
3) Get good people: A CEO cannot go it alone! In order to run, maintain and expect success out of any business, especially a franchise, there must be a team of people behind it. If a business is without key players that can be relied upon, it is sure to fail. Remember, a company is only as strong as its weakest employee.
4) Have a record of success: If a small business is not doing well, it is usually a sign that a franchise would also struggle. Opening more stores cannot solve a cash-flow problem and can typically just cause more headaches. If the doors are about to close on one store, what would make that different with other locations?
It may take time to build the perfect business, and even loner to create a great franchise. However, with a little know-how and a lot of luck, even the smallest business can become the next big thing!
