CHOOSING A FRANCHISE: Can I be a part-time owner?

If you choose to take advantage of the free services provided by a FranNet consultant like myself, you’ll find that as we start the research process, we’ll ask lots of questions!  That’s because it’s our goal to find you a great fit for your lifestyle, among other attributes.

It’s somewhat similar to the dating world, where you might meet a matchmaker looking to pair you up with your future husband or wife.  You want to be truthful and honest in your answers, because – well, in all honesty – you don’t want to be paired up in a bad relationship. 

One of the important aspects that we look at as we work with you to make matches is lifestyle.  And for you, running a franchise full time may not make sense in the near future. 

Franchising offers lots of variety, including a range in the amount of time necessary for the owner to invest in the business.  If you are looking at franchising as an investment or something to offer great flexibility, semi-absentee ownership may be the best fit for you. This is an option where the owner typically puts in between 10 and 20 hours a week on the business. On-site managers handle your day-to-day operations, making sure that your customers are leaving happy. 

Whether you’re looking for an investment (semi-absentee model) or a career, franchising may be a fit for you.   

Don’t try to figure it out on your own – resources are available to help you as there are many things to consider when looking at different franchise opportunities – that’s where FranNet’s “Proven Match” system comes into play.  We’ll take a look at your available time, your ability to provide the necessary financial capital, and most importantly – your goals and interests!

LUNCH & LEARN – Friday, November 13 (Online event)Learn more about semi-absentee and full-time executive models expanding in Michigan on Friday during our “Lunch & Learn’ web-based event. We’ll feature three brief presentations that you can enjoy over lunch from the comfort of your home or office while learning about some wealth-building options for the next phase of your career.

What if YOU CAN? – Learn About Franchising this Thursday in Farmington Hills

A lot of people are scared of the question, “What if?” These are people that are looking towards the past and regret a choice or two they made in the past.

Change your focus and look to the future. Start asking “What if?” questions that will shape your future.

• WHAT IF … I can make an investment in myself?
• WHAT IF … I owned my own business?
• WHAT IF … I can find a proven business system that fits my personal vision?
• WHAT IF … I had a coach that provided a no-fee, no obligation consulting service?

It’s time to head down the road to success. Join me this Thursday, November 5, in Farmington Hills for “Franchising as a Career, an Investment, or Both.” This workshop will teach you franchising basics, including the array of categories and investment levels available (starting at around $50K), and how to go about defining your own personal vision, matching that up with viable choices, and conducting proper due diligence to make sure you're selecting the RIGHT fit for YOU!

Here is a brief outline of the topics covered in the seminar:

• How franchising can provide a desirable alternative to traditional employment by reducing the risk of ownership to an acceptable level through proven business systems, comprehensive training and ongoing support. 
• Basic information on franchising, including the range of industry categories, investment levels and fees. 
• The legal regulations governing franchising that protect the buyer.  
• A strategic approach to defining your personal business model, quantifying your returns and safely researching and selecting the business opportunity that best fits your unique personality, skills, needs and goals.
