The main benefits of franchising
Let's say you own a gym. Not just any gym, but the best gym in the city – which is what your clients and the coaches tell you. You either call the gym 'Fit' and the nickname not only to describe their customers, who represents his company. The place is spotless, well located and has the best team. No wonder the place is humming 6:00 a.m.-10 pm.
The gym is run virtually. Your instructors are best in the area and know how to treat customers. Their services are priced fairly. Its programs are planned to attract travelers in the early morning, mothers, children, athletes, and corporate groups. And your marketing plan works like clockwork, appealing to people to keep their New Year's resolution in January, get in shape for Spring in March, and take advantage of special offers cool summer in June.
One day, you have a vision. Imagine your gym not only in their city, but over the next city. And the city beyond that. And in the next county. Well, throughout the region. Suddenly, imagine going national, even international.
For a moment everything seems possible. Just could double its foolproof operation to be hundreds of well located, clean gyms around not Fit the country, but around the world. Then reality sets in. Where to get the capital? A bank? Maybe a banker to loan you the money to open a second location. But rapid expansion? Not likely. Venture capital? That might mean giving away the farm, which is what most venture firms expect early return. In addition, you need to deal with the hassle of someone looking over your shoulder, telling you how to run Fit. Most employers that this scenario did not find all that appealing. We would not do it.
Then it hits you: Franchise. By franchising, people really pay business model for its tried and true for them, too, can run a profitable business. Even better than pay royalties based on sales. But really franchise work? He has over 50 years and, most part, successfully.
With the franchise, the people who pay for their proven business model. Even better pay royalties. But it takes a good concept, good management and adequate amounts of capital to succeed. A franchise can be defined simply as a entity which has three factors: 1) the grant of trademark rights, 2) a marketing plan established or significant control or assistance in the operation, or an interest community, and 3) the payment of a franchise fee for the right to participate.
As the franchisor, you assume the role of work in your business, not your business (A mantra made famous by Michael Gerber in his book, The E-Myth Revisited). If you franchise Ride your work is no longer the task of leading the gym person, but the business of finding others to open and run more business centers. The beauty is that these people are paying perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees and between 4% and 8% in royalties for the privilege – and make a living as well. Franchise companies added nearly 30,000 new establishments in the U.S. economy in 2006, according to the Agency International Franchise Association.
