Hey, I’m Ryan!

  • I know I look young (or at least I still feel young!), but I have been in the franchising world for 22 years as a multi-brand, multi-unit franchisee, and specializing as a franchise coach and consultant. One of the things I love about franchise ownership in Arizona is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to excel! Franchising allows you to follow a proven, scalable model so you can grow your business quickly while avoiding a lot of the pitfalls that come with traditional entrepreneurship.

People come to me when they want help finding the right franchise to buy in Arizona because of 3 reasons…

1. I actually am an active franchisee, so I understand exactly what you’re getting into. I’ve personally owned 24 different locations with multiple brands.

2. I know what makes a great franchise, and which franchises you should avoid. Every franchisor is going to tell you they’re awesome and you should be one of their franchisees. But that’s obviously just not true.

3. I hate sales. For most, buying a franchise is one of the biggest, most impactful decisions they’ll ever make. My goal is not to persuade you to buy a franchise (like many consultants out there) but to actually help you figure out if franchising is right for you; and if so, find a brand that matches your goals.

HOW FRANCHISING IN ARIZONA WORKS

Franchise Discovery Process

SCHEDULE A CALL

15-20 minute introductory call with Ryan. The goal is to learn about each other, hear what your goals are, and see if he can help you.

PERSONALIZED MATCHING

Ryan will get to work, eliminating options that don’t fit your goals, keying in on franchise brands that might be a great fit, and introducing you to the ones that sound most interesting to you.

DISCOVERY

The franchisor will invite you to a series of calls and events so you can learn about the business, and get a feel for the brand. By the way, this is just like dating. You’re figuring out if you like the business and want to be a franchisee, and the franchisor is figuring out if they like you and want you to be one of their franchisees.

MAKE A DECISION

After you’ve walked through each step with each brand, you’ll be ready to decide if you want to own that brand or not! You can reach this point anywhere from 30-90 days after our initial call.

No commitment, just a conversation

Manager Run Absentee Retail Service Single Food Owner B2C B2B WFH Multi

Explore The Different Types of Franchising Possibilities

Passive Income/Absentee Franchises

  • Definition: Passive income or absentee franchises are designed so that the franchisee can generate income without being actively involved in the day-to-day operations. The owner invests in the franchise but hires a team or a manager to run the business.
  • Characteristics: This model is ideal for investors who wish to have a business but do not have the time or desire to be involved in daily activities. These franchises often have established systems and processes in place, making it easier for an absentee owner to oversee the business.
  • Examples: Vending machine operations, automated car washes, and some fast-food restaurant franchises.

Semi-Absentee/Manager-Run Franchises

  • Definition: Semi-absentee or manager-run franchises require the owner to spend a part-time effort overseeing the business, with a manager handling day-to-day operations.
  • Characteristics: This model suits individuals who wish to keep their day job or have other businesses but still want to be somewhat involved in the franchise. The franchisee's involvement might include strategic decision-making, financial oversight, and occasional onsite presence.
  • Examples: Fitness centers, salon suites, and certain food service franchises.

Single Unit Franchises

  • Definition: A single unit franchise agreement grants the franchisee the rights to operate one franchise location.
  • Characteristics: This is the most straightforward and common type of franchise. It is ideal for individuals who are new to franchising and wish to have a direct hand in the operation of their business. The franchisee is responsible for all aspects of the business's operation, from staffing to daily management.
  • Examples: Most types of franchises can be operated as single units, including restaurants, retail stores, and service-based businesses.

Service-Based Franchises

  • Definition: These franchises provide a service rather than selling physical products. They can operate from a fixed location, a home office, or be mobile.
  • Characteristics: Service-based franchises often require specialized skills or licenses (e.g., plumbing, electrical work) but can also include broader services (e.g., cleaning, landscaping). They typically have lower overhead costs compared to retail franchises and can offer more flexible schedules.
  • Examples: Home and commercial services, pet services, and health and wellness services.

Retail Storefront Franchises

  • Definition: These are franchises that operate from a physical location, selling goods to customers. They can include food services, clothing stores, and specialty retail.
  • Characteristics: Retail storefront franchises often require significant investment in inventory, real estate, and staffing. They provide the franchisee with the opportunity to engage directly with customers and become a visible part of the community.
  • Examples: Fast-food restaurants, coffee shops, and clothing stores.

Owner-Operator Franchises

  • Definition: In an owner-operator franchise model, the franchisee is actively involved in the day-to-day management of the business. This hands-on approach requires the franchise owner to be present at the location, manage employees, and oversee operations.
  • Characteristics: This model is ideal for individuals who prefer to be directly involved in all aspects of their business and have a strong desire to influence its success. It can be very rewarding but also demands a significant time commitment.
  • Examples: Many service-based franchises, small retail businesses, and restaurants operate under this model, where the owner's personal touch can significantly impact the business's success.

Multi-Unit Franchises

  • Definition: Multi-unit franchising involves owning and operating more than one franchise unit, often of the same brand. This can involve opening multiple locations over time or acquiring several units simultaneously.
  • Characteristics: Multi-unit franchisees benefit from economies of scale, potentially lower operational costs per unit, and increased brand presence in a region. It requires a greater upfront investment and more sophisticated management skills to oversee multiple locations.
  • Examples: Fast food and quick-service restaurants, fitness centers, and retail stores are common types of franchises that offer multi-unit opportunities.

B2B (Business-to-Business) Sales Franchises

  • Definition: B2B sales franchises focus on providing products or services to other businesses rather than individual consumers. This model requires understanding the needs and purchasing processes of businesses in specific industries.
  • Characteristics: B2B franchises often have a longer sales cycle but potentially higher transaction values. They may offer products or services that are essential for their candidates' operations, leading to repeat business and stable income streams.
  • Examples: Commercial cleaning services, office supply distributors, and business consulting services are types of franchises that operate in the B2B space.

B2C (Business-to-Consumer) Sales Franchises

  • Definition: B2C sales franchises sell products or services directly to individual consumers. This model is prevalent in many sectors, including retail, food service, and personal care.
  • Characteristics: B2C franchises often require strategies to attract individual customers, including marketing, promotions, and maintaining high levels of customer service. The sales cycle is typically shorter than in B2B, with potentially smaller transaction sizes but higher volumes.
  • Examples: Retail stores, fast-food chains, beauty salons, and fitness clubs are examples of B2C franchises.
