Is Franchising for You?

For More Information:

Visit any town or city and you will find franchised businesses. One of the reasons that many franchises have been successful is that a business synergy is created. Franchisees brought together under one trademark can achieve things that as individual business people they could not do. Compared to independent start-ups, franchised enterprises offer a remarkably higher probability for success.

Collective buying power, proven operational systems, training and support, established trademarks, goodwill, are just a few of the clear advantages of franchising versus other business methods. The belief that large amounts of capital are always required to buy a franchise is not true, and it is important to understand the capital risk versus the rate of possible return so you can see if a franchise matches your needs.

Franchisors can usually be split into two groups; 1) those that use high pressure sales techniques to close sales, and turn over franchise ownership with high transfer fees; 2) those who qualify, qualify and qualify some more to make sure the franchise is a fit for the prospect. These franchisors are also protecting the investment of those people already in the system.

It is important to understand that VR is not your average franchise. Rather than operating with the philosophy that more is always better, VR prides itself on its mandate to create a boutique firm atmosphere for its intermediary’s rather than a mass-produced franchise factory.

Acknowledging the skill set required to assist entrepreneurs buy and exit from businesses is quite different from those needed to operate a fast-food restaurant or retail business. VR would rather grant a franchise to the right individual than sell one to someone because they have the available funds. For this reason, VR prospects work directly with one of the two principles of VR throughout the franchise process.

Before buying a franchise, 10 important questions need to be carefully and thoughtfully answered:

Are you willing and able to take on the responsibilities of managing your own business?

Will you enjoy the franchise?

Are you willing to completely follow the franchise system?

Do you have a history of success in dealing and interacting with people?

Can you afford the franchise?

Have you carefully studied the legal documents?

Does the franchise you are considering have a track record of success?

Are the franchisees generally happy and successful?

Do you like the franchisor's staff - those people with whom you will be working?

Do you have a support system?

Franchising allows you to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
