Francorp Inc. partnered with Franchise India early this year to offer end to end franchise solutions under the banner of Francorp India.

The franchise industry has witnessed high growth rates in the Indian sub-continent since its beginning in the early 90s and there is still enormous scope for growth. India has the highest retail density in the world and franchise brands experience an 85% success rate, while start up ventures experience a 90% failure rate.

Should I Franchise?

Should I Franchise?
Whether you have a totally new concept or an established business in need of faster growth that is lacking the capital, time and people to expand the question is, “Should I franchise?”
Today more Businesses and greater variety of businesses are implementing franchising to distribute their products and services. Virtually any business can be expanded through franchising. Franchising a business is often the only viable source of capital available for expansion especially in today’s tight credit markets. In most instances, the cost of franchising is often a smaller investment that the cost of establishing just one new location.

After paying the initial cost of developing your franchise program, the remaining cost of expansion along with most of the business risk is assumed by the franchisees. Because the franchisee pays an upfront franchisee fee the franchisor is often able to recoup the total cost of franchise program development rather quickly while establishing a monthly revenue stream from royalties paid by the franchisees.

Franchising can provide the capital for rapid growth when your business doesn’t have the capital, the people, or even the time to establish a company owned growth program. Franchising solves the problems of slow growth, the problems of finding outside capital and the problems of finding the right employees associated with company owned units. Franchising a business is the solution for the problems of money, time and people.

Money

Franchising transfers almost the entire cost of expansion to the franchisees. Franchisees build the building or pay the rent, buy the inventory, pay the employees, do the marketing and provide the working capital until sales make the business profitable. In reality, the growth of a franchise system is limited only by the number of people willing to buy the franchise and the number of locations that can be sold.

Time

If you’re anxious to move quickly before the competition catches on with a hot new concept franchising provides solution. Franchising is the one growth system that allows businesses to expand exponentially. A franchise can grow rapidly simply by selling individual units. Some franchises can grow even faster by selling multiple units or territories to sub franchises. Either way, it is almost always faster to open franchises than company-owned units.

People
Franchisees make excellent employees and managers. They have a vested interested in making the business successful. They own it. A franchisor not only gets a dedicated manager they are relieved from the daily problems associated with hiring, firing and managing employees.

In summary, if you are looking to expand your business and lack capital, time or people, franchising is a viable solution to all three problems. If this scenario applies to you and your business the answer to the question, “Should I franchise?” is definitely yes.

Don Boroian - Franchise Training Systems

Franchising is about replication of systems. The best franchise systems in the world have the most efficient service delivery systems in place. They deliver a product to a customer and collect payment systematically and efficiently. The essence of a solid franchise organization lies in the consistency of their ability to provide this model of operation to their franchisees and to teach them the complexities of offering a service or product in a professional and quality manner. Therefore it is no surprise that great franchise companies have wonderful training systems! Francorp works with clients to try to ensure that their franchisees will receive the benefit of world class training programs. A good reference would be the coach/player relationship. A franchisor needs to be able to assume the position of coach once they begin working with franchisees. Typically a solid business is founded and operated by a star "player", the successful transition to franchising now requires that the player becomes the coach. The ability to delegate and nurture others so that they can be successful lies at the root of this transformation from business owner to franchisor.

Francorp has worked with thousands of business owners who have successfully made this transition from a one location operation into a hundred unit franchise chain. How do we begin? It starts with getting your hands dirty. The franchisee in training needs to know and completely understand every element of running the business. They should know the bathroom, supply closet, cash register, cooking operations and every bit of detail we can cram into their heads. Training programs are like boot camp, they don't pass a section until they master the finite details of each stage. When a franchise system is first built, Francorp doesn't expect clients to have or build a Hamburger University during the first stages of growth. This comes with time and revenue from the franchise growth. Even Ray Kroc didn't have a substantial operation until 30 some years into McDondald's growth. Up to that point, he ran training classes out his basement in Elk Grove Illinois. It can be done, the franchisor has to be ready to put in the time and energy needed to completely transform a "regular person" into an efficient "operator".

Training is typically held at the franchisor's corporate location for 2 to 4 weeks at a time. After these sessions are completed and the franchisee has "Graduated" then the training goes to "onsite". This stage is where the franchisor goes to the location of the franchisee and helps them get their feet wet in the field. If a location is required they might help them find the spot for the business and get the initial build out taken care of. If the franchise is a sales system, which more and more Francorp clients have, then the franchise training will largely be to make the initial sales calls with the franchise operator. The goal of the franchisor is to make successful, independent operators who make money and don't need assistance outside of a regularly scheduled support regimen.

Franchising can be a wonderful way to grow a business, but it is imperative that the proper training programs and systems are in place. Francorp has been developing these training programs for new franchise systems for over 34 years now and continues to refine and work with the newest technology available.
