Franchise Support and Why it Matters
Aspiring entrepreneurs choose to invest in the franchise system for all its benefits – a proven business model, an existing customer base and brand awareness, as well as ample opportunity to expand. However, one of the biggest advantages is all the support and training that comes with buying into the franchise system. In fact, many franchises boast that little to no industry experience is necessary for their particular brand, and that’s a testament to the established and comprehensive training and support systems in place. Simply put: if you’ve got the business acumen, the franchise’s corporate team will teach you everything you need to know to grow your business.
But not all franchises are created equal. Indeed, the level of support and training varies from brand to brand, which can make or break a franchise experience. Site selection, real estate transactions, hiring staff, management training, operational assistance, marketing support – the range of franchise support can be huge from brand to brand. Whether you have experience in a particular industry or not, the true flex of a franchise system is just how much they are there for their franchise owners.
“Support is a major benefit of franchising. Franchisors help franchisees with ongoing education and training, lease negotiation, and some even offer call centers and administrative support,” according to a report in Forbes. “While there’s no guarantee of success in any business, being part of a franchise system mitigates the risk of failure. With a proven system and support, franchisees are set up with a more predictable business.”
