Being your own boss is more attainable than ever. With social media and crowdfunding, one developed idea can resonate with thousands of people instantly and turn into a phenomenon. If you’re not quite ready to take the risk of starting your own business, becoming a franchisee is the perfect opportunity. There are many benefits of being your own boss within a franchise, here are just three.
Less risk
Owning a franchise opposed to venturing into the unknown of starting your own business reduces stress and risk. Start-up failure rates are high, so having the expertise of other franchisees (as well as their past books) directly benefits your business’ success. Owning a franchise feeds your craving for independence, while also providing you with the security of being a part of an established, successful company. You’re statistically more likely to succeed running a franchise compared to an independant business.
Opportunity to learn
If you’re passionate about someday opening and running your own business, there’s no better place to learn than within a franchise. Any good franchised company will have proven guidelines set in place for you to reference. You’ll be able to learn from the company’s years of experience and their successful business model. Through this experience, you’ll be able to determine what may or may not work for your business. Franchisors offer guidance and allow for a safer space for you to learn and grow your ideas. Through your learnings, you’ll also develop business confidence that can help you succeed further.
Strength in numbers
Although the company you are franchised under will most likely have ultimate control over design, store fronts, and general operations, there is a lot of creative control opportunities as a franchisee. You will have be able to hire your own team, create schedules, and set employee standards and expectations. Depending on the size of the company, you may be able to input ideas on certain operations to improve functionality, customer experience, or ideas to increase your return on investments (ROI). When you are a franchisee, you are a part of a team. The support and guidance you’ll find as a franchisee is difficult to duplicate in your own single business. There’s power in numbers and the ability to bounce ideas off your co-franchisees and franchisor.
