If you are looking into the realm of franchise ownership then there are many things that you must consider prior to even making initial contact with a potential franchisor. This can include some of the following:
As well as the above you must also consider the possibility of a newly launched franchise, and whether this may offer something to you that established franchise companies don’t.
Here we take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of joining a newly launched franchise and expand on some of the opportunities that may just peak your business interest.
1. You may find that the franchise company offers a special introductory purchase price, or some other similarly attractive discount or offer.
2. You will have far more choice as to the franchise territory you choose and, depending upon the industry in which you'll be working, this could very well be the difference between a seriously lucrative area, or one in which you achieve a modest income.
3. You will benefit from the franchise company’s almost undivided attention as their client list builds.
4. You will be bringing a new brand to your area which may well mean that for once consumers have choice rather than just relying upon one age old supplier/retailer/service provider etc.
1. The franchise model may not be completely perfected as yet; this may mean that in a year or so the franchise company has changed their offering in terms of pricing, support, or package inclusions. It may be worth asking that should this be the case whether you will be entitled to such benefits retrospectively.
2. You will need to ensure that there is a market within the area if you find there are no competitors yet within or around your territory.
