TOP FRANCHISING TIPS FOR 2019

1. Understand your initial desire to begin franchising.

2. Operate an established business model with a few outlets which are performing well to prove the concept doesn’t simply rely on the personality of the franchisor.

3. Validate that your business model will provide profits for all the relevant parties of the franchise: franchisor, franchisees, and suppliers of course.

4. Choose your franchisees wisely, and ensure that they possess both passion to operate a profitable business as well as ability to comply.

5. Remain transparent across all of your dealings with franchisees from start to finish.

6. Provide ongoing support for your franchisees, but monitor your contribution: don’t do all the work for the franchisee.

7. Be willing to invest in developing the franchise, always continue to build on your brand’s network and presence.

8. Ensure that you remain confident in your business decisions and matters relating to the ethos of your business: this is your project, remember to do what’s best for the brand and seek guidance when necessary.
