Franchising Path

Is Franchising the Answer to Job Security and Happiness?

It's time to reconsider your career intuitions. So many people in our society are conditioned to believe that getting a job and earning a "regular" income is the best way to become financially secure. The concept of safety, stability and security provided by a regular paycheck certainly makes sense.

But, in reality, it is more a case of giving up freedom, empowerment, and control in exchange for following orders. When you consider that any time a superior can say a few words and cut off all of your income, you realize that being an employee puts you voluntarily in a position of subservience that isn't all that secure.

So, how can you have true job security if you don't have control? This is why many people choose to leave their jobs to become franchisees.

Consider the advantages when deciding between a job and opening a franchise. A well-established franchisor can answer all of your startup questions while also providing full ongoing support once you are in business.

Purchasing a franchise is an investment in your own ability to increase your income without the need to negotiate with a boss. When you're the boss, no one can outrank you, and you get to decide how much you get paid based on your grit, determination, and drive.

The opportunity to receive ongoing support for the life of your franchise is one of the best assets of franchising. You can also expect to join a family of fellow franchisees with whom you will look for networking.

Remember, when running your own business, all of your hard work will come back to you in the form of a bigger piece of the pie. This is why many franchisees seek to find a perfect balance between independence and income.

Today’s Potential Franchise Buyers Are Overwhelmed

You only need to choose one franchise to invest in, but there are over 4,000 different franchises to choose from. That makes searching and investing in the best franchise quite challenging, especially if you don’t know how to do it or even where to begin.

You can attempt to go it alone and search for the right franchise with a few online tools you can find with a Google search, like these:

Option 1: Personality Tests
There are several online quizzes that may help you decide whether franchising is suited for you. However, they are not vetted, scientifically sound tests. Therefore, there is no certainty that you will make an excellent franchisee if one of these tests predicts that you will.

Option 2: Online Listing Platforms
There is a multitude of websites that list franchises for sale. These can be useful for learning the varieties of available franchises but should not be used to make a final decision on your investment.

Solution: Work with a Franchise Consultant
If you've never purchased a business before, you'll need a guide to make sure nothing is missed or overlooked when you're going through the process.

A Franchise Consultant is an expert that specializes in assisting you in locating the best franchise for you. They will assist you in defining your objectives, determining what you truly want to achieve through business ownership, and narrowing down the list of franchises that meet those goals.

In the area of franchise consulting, here are a few things to consider while looking for a consultant to help you on your road to franchise ownership:

  • No list: Someone that gets to know you, has a process to get you where you need to go and doesn’t just hand you a list and send you on your way alone.
  • Consulting experience: Select a consultant who has successfully matched franchisees with franchisors previously.
  • Franchise ownership experience: Having a consultant who has owned and operated a business will bring invaluable experience to the table.
  • A variety of franchise options: Look for a Franchise Consultant who can show you a broad range of brands that's a great fit for you not only in terms of price but also passion and goals.

Franchise Consultants, like me, act as unbiased resources to guide prospective franchisees through the path of achieving their dream of business ownership.

Can You Open a Franchise While Keeping Your Current Job?

Did you know that franchise ownership can provide extra income without requiring full-time devotion to the business?

Many of the people I work with as a Franchise Consultant are afraid to leave a seemingly solid and secure career to establish their own business.

I often hear these quotes:

"No, I'm not interested in the financial risk."
“I can't afford to quit my work while I'm starting my own business.”
“I also can't work two full-time jobs."

Aside from the fallacy that a job is always steady and secure, consider this, franchise ownership does not have to consume all your energy because you could operate it part-time.

Yes, some franchises need financial investment as well as full-time involvement in the business. However, numerous franchises have established profitable business models geared for part-time or semi-absentee ownership.

Perhaps you choose to keep a full-time career while supplementing your income as a franchise owner with part-time participation.

Two types of people are suitable for franchise ownership with part-time involvement.

  1. One who wants to continue working for a corporation while simultaneously owning a franchise that generates additional revenue. They were proactive and now have a backup plan if they’re laid off.
  2. One who wants to own a franchise that will give extra income but wishes to work just part-time throughout the start-up period until resigning or retiring from one's existing job. Then, they can work part-time or full-time in the franchise and have more free time for other hobbies.

What Does Part-Time Work in Your Franchise Look Like?

Once your franchise is up and running, your role then shifts to that of an advisor, consultant, or CEO. You concentrate on planning, profit and loss, and collaborating with your managers on staffing, sales, cost-cutting, marketing, and other business-related tasks.

So, whether you want to supplement your income or start your franchise career with a part-time commitment, investing in a franchise might be the ideal solution for you.

Start your search today for a franchise that offers you the option of part-time involvement as an owner. Please schedule a brief call here.

Franchising Provides An Alternative Investment Option To Real Estate Or The Stock Market

The best way to increase your personal and generational wealth is through expanding and diversifying your portfolio. There are so many methods to diversify that there is no need to invest exclusively in the stock market or real estate or especially when house prices have risen by more than 15% and the market is on the verge of a significant downturn.

There are more investment options than just real estate and equities. Do you want to invest in something other than real estate? A semi-absentee franchise model can help you diversify your assets.

A franchise may be the best option for you if you want a faster return on your real estate investment options. You can profit directly from a franchise investment, have greater control over your investment, and see a faster return.

Franchisees are provided with proven tools, business models, training, and other resources to help them succeed in sales. One of the key reasons a franchise investment is one of the best low-risk investment options is the assistance provided by the franchisor.

While any business endeavor has its risks and benefits, there are franchises with proven business plans and substantial backing from the franchisor.

There are almost no limits when it comes to franchising options. You'd be surprised at how many industries allow absentee and semi-absentee ownership. Here are a few examples:

  • Boutique fitness franchises
  • Personal Care franchises
  • Children's Education or Well-being franchises
  • Laundromat 
  • Salon franchises
  • Home Service franchises

With a semi-absentee franchise, you can still have the free time to continue your other investments. But as the market is declining, many investors now realize the importance of diversifying financial portfolios outside of real estate and the market.

If you would like to expand your portfolio, please schedule a brief call here.

How Additional Income Streams Can Set You Up For Success In Any Economy

The best way to insulate you and your family against an economic downturn is by adding new income streams, like investing in a franchise as an absentee or semi-absentee owner.

It's an ideal solution for potential franchisees with business expertise who want to increase income while not sacrificing time with family or their full-time jobs. Despite the effort required, many franchisees consider starting a new business as an opportunity to protect themselves financially in tough times.

It's important to acknowledge that an economic slump might deter some people from beginning a franchise. It's understandable to be put off by economic uncertainty.

Having said that, there are several viewpoints on practically any scenario. For example, an economic downturn might have hidden benefits.

The Advantages of Starting a Business During Tough Times

One of the most obvious advantages of a downturn is the creation of fresh opportunities. Businesses that close leave gaps in the market, and there may be possibilities for you to capitalize on, such as a spike in demand as the market rebounds.

An economic downturn can also present financial possibilities. Because fewer individuals are looking for financing, your strong business case will give you greater negotiating power than ever. In addition, some suppliers will provide better discounts because they need the business, and marketing may be less expensive because of less demand.

With fewer companies vying for them, you'll have more alternatives for competent employees and suitable sites. It will be easier to find the people and facilities you require if you can raise the necessary funds.

With fewer businesses competing for them, you’ll have better options for qualified staff and good locations. Also, finding the people and premises you need will be easier and more affordable.

Owning a franchise lets you establish a profitable business while keeping the career you love. This makes franchise ownership an attractive opportunity for anyone who wants protection from a down economy through additional income streams.
