If you’ve been considering entering the business world through franchising, there’s a good chance you’ve come across someone who refers to themselves as a franchise consultant or broker. They might have offered to help you find the right franchise and get your foot in the door and on the path to success. Many would-be entrepreneurs believe that they can find the right franchise by doing research on their own. However, most don’t know where to begin to look and they vastly underestimate the time it will require to research and investigate dozens of franchises. That’s where a partnership with a FranSave broker adds tremendous value without costing you, the potential franchisee, a penny. Our brokers know what questions to ask, and where to look for the best franchise opportunities, and they have relationships with those franchisors that will put you at the top of the queue. 

What’s a Good Franchise? 

When it comes to determining what constitutes a good franchise, it’s important to remember that this answer is multi-faceted. Each person has their own individual strengths and weaknesses. This means that while one franchise might be perfect for one individual, it might not be a good fit for another. A FranSave franchise broker will follow a protocol and process, including taking stock of your abilities and talents so they can match you with a franchise that’s ideal. With research and knowledge of the current market and dozens of franchises, they’re there to provide options and coach you every step of the way. 

Know Your Role 

It’s also important to keep in mind that the roles of franchise owners differ from location to location. Take, for example, the restaurant industry. Some franchises will require an owner to be on hand to oversee the daily operations and ensure things are running smoothly. That’s an owner/operator model. Other franchises are self-sustaining with a general manager and the right team, and it’s not necessary for the owner to be on-site and hands-on. This is a semi-absentee model. Depending upon what level of involvement you want, as well as a host of other factors, a franchise broker can match you to the industry and franchise that will be the best fit for you. 

Understanding the Model 

A broker will also have a relationship with the franchisor and an understanding of the franchisor’s business model. They will be able to help guide you every step of the way at no cost to you, the potential franchisee.
