Choosing to franchise your business is a big decision. It may be scary, but the rewards can also be tremendous. There are several things to consider when making this decision. First, you must determine whether or not your business model can be duplicated by others. If you decide that it is, conduct an extensive feasibility study before approaching a franchise development company and seek legal assistance when necessary.
Consider scalability as a factor when determining whether to franchise your business. If you are unable to expand in any way, then franchising is not an option. A good way to determine whether your business is scalable is by asking how many suppliers you have, or what level of exposure your product has received in the community at large. Further, ask yourself if you can accurately predict the potential demand for specific products and services.
One of the most important factors in the ROI calculation is the franchisee’s salary, which includes both a percentage and a guaranteed minimum. Aiming for a 20% annual return on investment is a good benchmark. Consider your time when calculating the ROI. If you are unpaid, this means that your savings won’t be available to you while you invest in your business, so it takes longer to reach that 20% goal.

If you’re considering franchising your business, you need to consider the owner’s role in the company. You might not think of yourself as an important factor in your business’ franchise feasibility, but you are. To successfully launch a franchise, you need to be determined, dedicated, and ambitious. Plenty of business owners are equipped to run a single business, but you accept responsibility for coaching and mentoring multiple stores owned by franchisees. Ask yourself whether this is something you can handle before you embark on the path to franchising.
You’re on the right track to establishing your franchise — but feasibility isn’t the only part of the equation that you need to pay attention to. You also need to have the resources available to enact your franchising strategy. Generally speaking, launching a franchise can cost anywhere from $150,000 to much more depending on the nature of your business and the size of your operations.
If you’re interested in facilitating the growth of your business through franchising, it’s important for you to understand that every state has its own regulations and laws governing the rights and responsibilities of business owners. Finding out what those regulations are can help you make a plan for maintaining compliance with them.
