What’s So Great About a Franchised Business?
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Why do I drive to work everyday to sit in a cubicle for eight hours to make someone else wealthy, when I know I can be a successful business person if I only knew where to start?”, then a franchised business may be your way over the cubicle wall!
There’s an old adage in franchising: “In franchising you’re in business for yourself, but never by yourself.” A franchise provides former cubicle dwellers turned business owners with a proven, systematic approach to launching a new independently owned and operated local business so the franchisees can focus on providing their clients with goods and services right from the start. Franchising answers the question “where do I start” by alleviating much of the traditional pressures placed on start-ups by offering the franchisee:
- Practical Guidance
- Brand Recognition
- A Professionally Designed Logo
- Purchasing Power
- Training
- Ongoing Support
- Peer Experience
- Marketing Support
- Business Systems

CONSIDER THIS…
Franchising accounts for only 10-12% of all retail and service enterprises, but enjoys over 50% of the revenues in these sectors.* This means that even though franchises are outnumbered by independents, franchise businesses are able to take more of the available dollars. – *International Franchise Association.
Franchised businesses produce goods and services worth $880.9 billion per year, or 4.4 percent of private-sector output in the United States. – International Franchise Association (Data from 2005, the most recent available).
