Through the proven business model and support provided by the franchisor, franchisees are able to be in business for themselves but with the support and assistance of the franchisor, the advantage of the franchise system’s past success, and access to the knowledge and experience of a network of franchisee peers. A franchise also provides you with the advantage of a tried-and-true system and an operations manual that fully explains how you are to replicate the franchise’s system at your location. While it is impossible to eliminate all risk, if you work and follow that system, you can reduce the risk of business failure and increase your likelihood of success. The franchise system will save you time and money by keeping you up-to-date on your market. Through the franchisor, you can stay on top of things such as business trends, research and development, new marketing initiatives, and changes in consumer tastes or behaviours. This allows you (and the other franchisees in the system) to focus on the day-to-day operation of your location knowing that you have this shared knowledge available when you need it.
