Let's start with, why do businesses choose to franchise? The frank answer is they want your money as their franchisee to grow their sales/service distribution system. What type of business can be franchised? Just about anything. So what type of business makes the best franchise system? Well, that's not easy, but let's start with the reality that a franchisor is a self appointed leader, and they want you as a team player and dedicated follower to join their marketing system. Yes, you have to commit your hard earnt dollars to join that franchise system and hopefully in doing so you have bouht yourself a good insurance policy! As your start down the part as a small business person, which will not end up in disaster? Yes it is true, technically the franchisor has a strong vested interest in your long term success as one of their franchisees, so you will be safe?

Let's look at this franchising decision from the franchisor's point of view, first up. You are the owner of a successful business that is sick of employing people, putting up with fickle interstate agents or perhaps given up trying to find good distributors or commissioned sales people. You are probably also frustrated by having limited capital to grow into more places across Australia, and you are sure type of business, given the opportunity to expand into these perceived new markets, would do very well.

That's when the idea of franchising enters the scene as maybe; just maybe it could provide the growth answers of both finding and then just as importantly keeping good people, who will invest their hard earned savings, up front to follow your proven marketing/sales way of doing things.

Your biggest problem as a potential franchisee, and frankly it is the same problem for a new franchisor, is making sure both parties understand exactly what this unique commercial relationship will be! We call franchising "The culture of caring". Why? Because the franchisor needs to care for the financial wellbeing of each and every franchisee they carefully select to be part of their franchise family.

So let us start the process of your understanding of franchising, at the bathroom mirror, for some serious navel gazing. If you are considering buying a franchise, here are some questions for you:
