LOCAL OFFICES
We also have offices throughout Canada – think about the importance of local representation. Would you rather work with someone who is familiar with the nuances of your city – it’s beat, it’s culture, it’s strong and weak demographic areas, etc, or would you rather work with someone who is from somewhere in the USA where they aren’t familiar with critical aspects of your market. FranNet has always believed that local market representation is a critical factor in your success – this strategy is part of why we’re the industry leaders!

WE UNDERSTAND
We are also business owners, so we’ve been where you are - we understand the importance of thoroughly investigating a business opportunity before getting involved.

MORE AFFORDABLE THAN YOU THINK
Franchising is WAY more than food and retail, and there are a range of opportunities available to fit many people’s budgets. We focus on franchise opportunities with total investment ranging from $50,000 - $200,000, with many of these opportunities being in the business-to-business and business-to-consumer service sectors, where start-up/operating expenses are significantly lower, and where profitability margins are typically higher than traditional retail and food type businesses.

• Minimum capital required: $50,000
• Average capital required: $75,000 - $135,000
• Master License opportunities: $200,000 +

Typical minimum net worth required by franchisors is $200,000, desired net worth is $300,000 or higher.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
We offer our services at no-cost to you. We are paid by the franchisor, similar to the way that an executive recruiter gets paid by the corporation to find top talent.

WHY CONSIDER FRANCHISING INSTEAD OF SELF EMPLOYMENT?
Sure, starting a business from scratch can be argued as being far less expensive than buying a franchise… but is it really?

The new entrepreneur has to figure out what mix of products and services to offer, how to offer them, who the customers are & where they’re going to come from, how to position against customers, where to locate & why… the list goes on. While the new owner is not paying out money to start the business, they could be paying a lot over time – for the wrong things. In short, they’re all-too-often quickly overwhelmed because they have so much to figure out and so much to do, but they often lack the financial, operational and human resources, while also having little to no place to turn for support.

If you’re an independent start-up, sure you have complete independence and control, but what about all of the other important criteria – like income, lifestyle, etc? As an independent operator, the odds are heavily stacked against your success… is this how you want to end up?

EASIER WAY
There is a safer, faster and more effective way to achieve success in self employment!

Franchising industry boasts a success rate in the 85% range – almost 5 times more successful than starting from scratch! When you look at the combined retail and service industry sectors (which encompasses most franchise systems), you’ll want to consider that close to only 12% of all businesses in these two entire sectors are franchised – the other 88% consists of sole proprietors, private corporations, public companies, not-for-profit, etc. Now here’s the kicker! Those 12% of businesses that are franchised capture roughly 47% of ALL business in these two sectors! So you need to ask yourself – would you rather be part of the 12% that is that captures almost half of the entire market, or would you rather be part of the 88% who fight over the other half?

PROVEN SYSTEM
When you look at success rates of franchises versus independent businesses, the ability of franchise systems to be able to capture so much disproportionate market share should not be overlooked. Many business experts, as well as many banks consider franchising as the safest and ideal way for a first-time entrepreneur to launch into business for yourself, especially if it’s your first time in business.

With a proven franchise system, there are a tremendous number of benefits, including:

• Proven, systematic approach to starting and staying in business
• Consolidated experience of franchisors and franchisees
• Name recognition
• Group purchasing power
• Initial training to help you launch faster
• Ongoing training and support
• Marketing expertise – local penetration and regional/national exposure
• Support of other franchisees – this is an incredibly important benefit!

HEAD START
The benefits of being part of an established and proven franchise should enable you to get your business ramped up faster, and help you achieve higher performance, faster than you would if you were on your own as an independent operator!

When you consider the historically high success rates of going into business with an established and proven franchise system, compared to the massively lower success rates when starting from scratch, you have to ask yourself:

“Could franchising be the key to my entrepreneurial success?”
