Is your business
franchise-ready?

As approved Franchise Accountants one of the most common questions we get asked is “How will I know if my business is ready to be franchised?”, which is a fairly difficult question to answer, as there are a lot of factors that could affect the success. But here are a few questions you should be asking yourself when considering whether or not to proceed down the route of franchising.

  • Do you have a clear brand, vision, mission and USP?  Launching a successful franchise is more than having a good business idea, you’ll need a strong brand, vision, message and USP that will stand out and translate across different locations.
  • Does your business make a profit? Would-be franchisors will want to see that the business makes money, a rough rule of thumb is 3 years of steady profit, growth and future growth potential.
  • Is your product or service credible? With longevity and broad appeal?  Franchisors tend to look at the long term, the product or service must be one that will withstand the test of time and be capable of development and expansion and be resilient to market changes.
  • Can your business be easily replicated? Can you teach your business? An ideal franchise is based upon something that other people can be trained in to replicate its success.
  • Do you have the capital and time to invest? There are various outlays to be considered (which Flower. can advise on and help with)
  • Do you have the time/ systems in place to support franchisees?  Looking beyond the actual launch of your franchise package, you’ll need to support your franchises as they grow and ensure systems are in place to help them grow too.
  • Have YOU got the right mindset and support to become a franchisor? Franchise success can depend on the mindset and personality of the franchisor, have YOU got what it takes? And do you have the right team by your side to make it a reality?
