Giving Thanks for a Support System

Being an entrepreneur can be tough (and lonely). But just as we are so thankful this time of year for family and friends, those business ownership that have chosen the franchise route have thanks to give for the support systems that make it a little easier to deal with those ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Franchise owners have access to two key components of a support system:

• A Franchise Family – The minute you launch your new franchise, you have access to a franchise family – a group of individuals that have been in your shoes before, and know what its like to start up a franchise within your specific industry/brand. Not only that, but they all share a vested interest in helping YOU and thus, THE BRAND succeed! 
• Franchise Support Team – Remember, as you do well, your Franchisor does well. That’s why you’ll find dedicated members of the corporate franchise team assisting with your ongoing support needs. It’s one of those services you get as a franchisee in return for your royalty payments. 

And don’t forget about FranNet! Because we’re a locally based franchise-consulting firm, you’ll have the support of our network as you launch your new business too! Whether you’re looking for an attorney or CPA, help with payroll processing, need a cleaning company or handyman, or looking for office furniture, FranNet can help point you in the right direction.

If the aforementioned sounds like a great ways to be in business, but you aren’t sure how to find a franchise that is best for you, consider contacting FranNet. We are here to help match you up with franchised concepts to research that fit your lifestyle and goals. And keep in mind; all of our consultations, seminars and events are FREE to you!

Don't miss my free seminar, "Franchising as a Career, an Investment, or Both" on December 11 inTroy! To learn more and to RSVP, please visit michiganfranchiseforum.com. You can also contact me at mcory@frannet.com or 313-821-5060.

Starting Up a Business? GIVE THANKS for Someone Else's Idea!

One of the hardest parts of starting your own business is coming up with that million-dollar idea. Has someone else already tried your idea? What if you miscalculated this, or underestimated that? What if your idea fails?

That's one of the reasons for entrepreneurs to give thanks for franchises. Now, keep in mind, you are paying to use someone's idea... But you are also reducing your risk. Whether it's a restaurant, accounting firm, dry cleaners or anything you can think of - the franchised brand shows a track record of success.

Success isn't a guarantee though, there’s still a lot of work to do! But why not take advantage of all the franchise has to offer to help position you for that success?

For more information about franchising, I am putting on a free workshop on December 11 in Troy, MI entitled "Franchising as a Career, an Investment, or Both," we will examine the pros and cons of various different business ownership options while taking a deep dive into franchising. For more information and to register, please visit frannet.com/bbetser or call 313-821-5060. You can also email me at mcory@frannet.com.

Just a reminder, ALL of my services, workshops, webinars and seminars are free to you!
