Franchising
What is a franchise?
A franchise is a business model where an individual (the franchisee) pays for the right to operate a business using the branding, systems, and support of an established company (the franchisor). It’s a way to own a business with the backing of a proven brand, access to resources and support.
What are the benefits of owning a franchise?
Franchising lets you go into business for yourself, but not by yourself. You get the advantage of a recognized brand, a tested business model, training, marketing support, and a community of other owners — all of which can help reduce some of the risks of starting from scratch.
How is a franchise different from starting an independent business?
With a franchise, you’re buying into a ready-made system that’s been refined through experience. Instead of building everything from the ground up, you follow a proven process — from branding to operations — which can save time, reduce guesswork, and increase your chances of success.
What is a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)?
The FDD is a legal document that franchisors are required to provide to prospective franchisees. It includes detailed information about the business, fees, legal history, support, and other important aspects. Reviewing the FDD is a key part of making an informed decision before buying a franchise.
How do I know if franchising is right for me?
If you’re motivated to run your own business but want the structure and support of an established brand, franchising could be a great fit. It works well for people who are coachable, business-minded, and ready to follow a system. The best way to find out is by speaking with a franchisor and asking questions during the discovery process.
