Franchising benefits for potential franchisees

01 APR, 2009

The high success rate of franchising is believed to be the result of a whole range of benefits the franchisor maintains, develops and offers to the franchisee. Some of the most important advantages of owning a franchise include

 

  • Training – Almost all franchise companies provide you with the necessary training you need to become successful. In fact larger franchises often offer more than what is required even. Your success is the success of the franchisor and he is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure your success.
  • Brand Awareness – If you start up your own business it will probably take years for you to build a well recognised brand that provides a competitive advantage over your competitors. Brand awareness is so powerful. It has the potential to make or break a business because consumers generally buy things that they are familiar with and work with companies they know and trust. With a franchise this brand awareness is already being developed and will continue to grow as more and more franchisees are added to the franchisors network.
  • Purchasing Power – This is a result of economies of scale enjoyed by the franchises. Franchised companies are capable of purchasing their goods, products, and supplies at bargain rates since they buy in bulk. These savings are passed over to individual franchise units so that they have a competitive advantage in the marketplace with respect to price.
  • Proven Business Plan - Through years of experience and hard work franchisors know what works and what doesn’t. They will teach you how to work in guidance with their proven business model creating your formula for success.
  • Marketing- In addition to an established brand, franchised companies support their franchisees with local and national marketing and promotions to help drive sales. They may obviously require you to contribute towards a fund reserved for promotional campaigns but the benefit of such activity easily outweighs the costs you incur.
  • Support – In addition to the initial training many franchise companies provide ongoing support for their franchisees. This typically includes ongoing training, system upgrades, product enhancements, administrative support as well as question and answer support systems through dedicated representatives within the organisation.
