Step 3: Research
We take the information that you have provided, research available franchises, and then match them with your goals and needs. There are over 2,000 franchises and our goal is to identify four that will be a perfect match for you. |
|
Step 4: Presentation
We present you with the opportunities that we have identified in our research. If any of the opportunities are of interest to you, we will arrange an introduction directly to the representative of the franchise. This will require that you complete and submit a confidential questionnaire to be supplied to the Franchiser. The Franchiser wants to know that you are financially qualified to purchase their franchise, that your timeframe to buy is within reasonable limits, and that your partners and/or family members are in complete agreement with you buying a business. This does not obligate you in any way. It simply shows the Franchiser that when you find the right opportunity you are capable of buying it. It is important to remember that we are presenting opportunities, but you must make the decision that is best for you and your family. Therefore, refining the criteria to find the best opportunity for you is an ongoing process. |

Step 5: Introduction to the Franchiser
For each of the opportunities that you have an interest, we will introduce you to the Franchiser. The Franchiser will send you informational materials about their franchise. They will also send you the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which is a disclosure document for their franchise opportunity. |
|
Step 6: Review of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
We will discuss the items that are contained in the FDD and answer any questions you may have. You should then review the FDD in complete detail, writing down any questions or concerns for discussion with the Franchiser. The FDD will contain a list of franchisees and their contact information. |

Step 7: Call Franchisees (Validate)
The Franchiser will provide you with a list of franchisees that you can call to ask questions about the franchise. This is a great opportunity to collect candid feedback about the franchise you are considering and to determine if the concept and business model is the right fit for you. |
|
Step 8: Consultation with Attorney & Accountant
You should always consult with a franchise attorney and an accountant before making a decision. It is important that they have a strong background in franchising. We can help you find skilled professionals in your area. It is important to remember that we are presenting opportunities, but you must make the decision that is best for you and your family. Therefore, refining the criteria to find the best opportunity for you is an ongoing process. |

Step 9: Discovery Day
Most Franchisers have a Discovery Day, where they invite you to their corporate office. You will have the opportunity to ask, face-to-face, the critical questions to help in your decision. You will also meet the key support staff in the organization that will provide your initial training and continuing support. |

Step 10: Decision Time
You have taken all of the steps necessary to make the right decision. Now it's time to Launch! Congratulations! You have decided to buy a franchise and become a "Frantrepreneur", a cross between a traditional entrepreneur and a modern franchise owner! A person that possesses the desire to be a business owner, but does not want to recreate the wheel. You have put yourself in the position to be your own boss, control your own destiny, and succeed in your new business! |
