FAQS
The most significant benefit to owning a franchise is the reduced level of risk. A franchise system provides a proven method of doing business, so you can eliminate the trials and errors associated with starting a business from scratch. The franchisor provides guidance and support with the different functions of the business - sales & marketing, purchasing supplies, hiring staff, real estate and build outs. The franchisor knows what issues can arise and how to deal with challenges effectively. The franchisor will provide extensive initial training so you'll hit the ground running.

Yes. Our relationship partners are experienced with this issue and many offer financing options. We can introduce you to professionals who can assist you. It’s important that you have a comprehensive picture of your financial profile and understand upfront your options for loans or 401k withdrawals. Much like shopping for a house, it’s best to work with a financial partner (Pre-Qualify for Funding) before getting too far down the road.
Financing can be a major hurdle for any potential business owner. Start-up costs can be high and it is essential that a franchisee has adequate working capital.
No. In fact many franchisees have had no experience in the industry into which they ultimately buy. Franchisors prefer their business operators focus on running the business and not focus on performing the labor their concepts require. Franchisees are managers, rather than workers. Franchisors need people who will be effective in motivating employees, generating sales and running the day-to-day operations as effectively as possible.
