<p>Business owners like you franchise for 3 reasons</p>
<ul>
<li>You want to grow faster than opening other locations yourself</li>
<li>You  want to grow using other&#8217;s capital &amp; energy</li>
<li>You want to grow without managing more employees</li>
</ul>
<p>In today&#8217;s economy this is even more important</p>
<p>as the unemployment figures approach 10%</p>
<p>More people are looking for a business to get into</p>
<p>to replace their lost job or</p>
<p>they just want to work for themselves and</p>
<p>get out of the corporate rat race.</p>
<p>The lower the cost of a franchise,</p>
<p>the more potential Franchisee buyers you have.</p>
<p>The lower the cost, the better chance they have of</p>
<p>being successful in replacing their job.</p>
<p>Franchising works for companies whose real net profit</p>
<p>is enough to allow the Franchisee to pay a royalty,</p>
<p>pay himself, and have enough left over to earn</p>
<p>a 20% return on his investment.</p>
<p>These numbers will vary, according to the industry,</p>
<p>but on average, they are a good yardstick.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know of another business model that works</p>
<p>so successfully to double the bottom line of your business.</p>
<p>By simply selling 3 to 5 franchises, you are able to double your profits.</p>
<p>Of course, you wonder if the Franchisee will deliver</p>
<p>the same quality and service that you do.</p>
<p>This is a legitimate concern.</p>
<p>The solution is good initial training and at least quarterly followups.</p>
<p>That is where the Franchisor&#8217;s management skills come into play.</p>
<p>Picking the right Franchisee and good management follow-up</p>
<p>substantially increase the Franchisees chance of success.</p>
