| | | Recent Franchise Blog Articles | | | Seeking out Franchise Advice Finding the right franchise advice is critical when looking at starting up a franchise business. Very few people who are looking to start a franchise have enough franchise knowledge in order to make all the right deicisions. For this reason we’ve compiled a few ideas of where to go to find the right franchise advice that could save you some pain along the road:- Friends
No advice is often more trustworthy than that which you can glean from your friends. When considering starting a franchise business, ask around or even pop out a message on your favourite social network such as Facebook. See if anyone else in your circle of friends has ever started, or is running, a franchise business and get their valued insight and advice on their experiences in setting up the business and how it performs for them Franchise Consultants
Franchise consultants are experts that have an extensive knowledge of franchising and many connections within the franchise community. They will often have a good knowledge of different franchise systems and can help match you to one that suits you. Franchise Legal Experts
Franchise legal experts are usually lawyers who work and deal specifically within the franchise industry. They have a good understanding of the law relating to franchise agreements and can offer advice and help when it comes to the legal implications of running a franchise business. For example, what accountability you have to the franchisor and what are their obligations to you the franchisee, could be explained in plain terms to you by a franchise legal expert so you understand fully what you are taking on.

We thought we’d share some tips to help franchisees present a strong business plan and help them to raise finance. Other sources of income
It is vital for a new franchise to provide enough income for the owner to live on, in addition to servicing any borrowing they have, particularly in the early years. Many franchisees have a supportive partner behind them who often continues to earn a regular wage. This additional household income reduces the franchisee’s dependence on the profits of the business. It is therefore important that a franchisee provides a summary of all their domestic income and expenditure, demonstrating just how much money needs to be taken out of the business. ... | | | Franchise News Articles | |

They felt that buying an existing franchise was an ideal opportunity because all the elements were in place and it was just what they were looking for.

Thirty years in the building industry, and thinking long-term future, would I be fit enough to continue climbing ladders in another thirty years?

by Joel Caws in Franchise Sales and Development in the UK  If you have been considering a franchise as a route into self-employment, then you will doubtless have seen many new franchise opportunities on franchise directory websites or via franchise magazines or exhibitions.
What isn’t so apparent is the number of existing franchise resales that are often available. A franchise resale occurs where the current franchise owner has decided they no longer wish to run the business and so decide to sell it on. This may be due to retirement, a wish to move on to something new, or other personal reasons. Of course like any decision, there can be both advantages and disadvantages. One of the key advantages of buying a franchise resale is that it should be an established business with an existing customer base, an awareness and reputation in its trading area with potential customers, and a proven track record of achievement. This is obviously very desirable as a business option that isn’t like just hitting the ground running… its already half way down the race track! Of course, the disadvantage might be the fact that due to the decreased risk, it will likely have a substantially higher price tag than starting up a franchise business from scratch. The goodwill and established trading relationships with both customers and suppliers of course carry a lot of value. |  LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE WITH AWARD-WINNING FRANCHISE AUTOSMART
