Ways to determine whether your dream franchise will really help you succeed.
More than anything else, what most prospective franchisees want to be sure of is that the franchise you are considering is a good all-around opportunity. We can use other words like ‘great’ or ’solid’ or ‘reputable’ to illustrate what you’re looking for in a franchise, but the bottom line is you want to know that everything needed for success exists and that there are no major flaws with the franchise.
The following checklist for determining whether a franchise is solid is subjective, but it’s based on many years of experience. If you want to know that you’re looking at a solid franchise opportunity, make sure to check the following factors carefully:
1. Responsiveness during the investigation process;
2. Direct operational training;
3.Other training;
4. Marketing programs;
5. Real estate and construction assistance;
6. Financing assistance;
7. Litigation history;
8. Financial strength of the franchise company;
9. Financial strength of the unit operations;
10. The attitude of the existing franchisees.
