If you are interested in investing in a franchise, knowledge of the basics of franchises will be of use in helping you to come to the best decision based upon your own abilities and needs.

If you purchase a franchise, you are buying licensed rights to carry out the business according to the franchisor’s standard methods and received continual support in doing so. A MacDonald’s franchise is a prime example of how a franchisee runs a business in the standard way, purchasing the raw material from the franchisor and using the company logo and benefiting from national advertising campaigns.

The franchisor also provides the training and advantages that come from a national corporate body with the ability back up the franchisee in every respect of their business. This is a symbiotic relationship that benefits both partners, and while one supplies the know-how and corporate backing, the other supplies the workforce and investment.

There are a number of types of different franchises, of which the following are the most common:

In a retail franchise, the franchisee finances the commercial property, equipment and staff required to run the outlet. Owners of retail franchises tend to operate them themselves, and hire staff only where necessary. Examples are well known hi-fi stores, and perfumery and fashion outlets. Many of the well known High Street names seen in most towns and cities are franchises. These can be sold on when they come profitable in order that the franchisee has the capital to move on to larger outlets or multiple franchises.

A servicing franchising is also very common. An example are plumbers who pays for franchising and training in plumbing, then are allowed to start their own business using the corporate name and logo. Advertising is provided by the company, and the plumbers can either work by themselves, or employ a staff to build up their own businesses.

The multinational hotel franchises are frequently run by investment franchisees, who invest considerable amounts of money into the development of hotels then hire other people to manage them. Apart from hotels, this type of investment franchising occurs in well known national restaurant chains and some of the larger retail outlets.

As your franchise develops, the opportunity frequently occurs for you to expand, and you might switch from a retail franchise to a management or even investment franchise. The ultimate objective of anybody is to do as well as they can to develop their business, and franchising provides you with many benefits in that respect.

One of these is market research. One of the major mistakes made by independent entrepreneurs is to fail to carry out adequate market research before starting up their business. They do not make sure that there is sufficient demand in a locality to sustain business over a period of time.

Take a TV repair company for example. Once you have repaired all the TVs in the locality of a small town, you are out of customers and your business must fail. On the other hand, a newsagent franchise might just work if competition is light.

With a franchise, the market research is carried out by the franchisor before they offer a new outlet. A good one will also provide you with details of the competition and how to stand out above them. You also benefit from the ability of a franchise to bulk purchase. This makes purchase of supplies, materials and services much cheaper, and your share of advertising c
