A franchise can teach you how to find new customers, gain market share over local competition, and operate a profitable and sustainable business.

Almost 80 percent of the independent businesses that start today will be out of business within the next 5 years.


 





4.     Business systems
Business owners wear most, if not all of the hats in their business and they end up working 24 hours a day trying to grow their business. This takes away from quality family time, one of the reasons why they decided to start their own business.  A typical franchise will have a proprietary software system that integrates the franchisees business systems into a streamlined package, from quoting to financial statements, to improve your efficiency and effectiveness. As an owner, you have real-time access to the key performance measures of your business and can compare them to system-wide benchmarks. They work with owners to implement systems so you, the franchisee can work on the business and not in the business.



5.     Hiring the right employees
For a business to grow it is essential to have the systems in place to recruit, hire, train, compensate and retain employees. The franchisors training systems can help you develop your employee base and help you achieve your personal and professional goals, ultimately freeing up your time to work on growing and expanding your business.

7.     Training and support.
Today business is changing and moving so rapidly that it is imperative business owners’ stay ahead of the curve with ongoing training.
