If you already own a successful business, you may have wondered: Could I turn this into a franchise?

Franchising can be a powerful way to scale your business, reach new markets, and create new revenue streams.  Not every business is ready. That’s where we come in.

It starts with a conversation where we ask a few key questions to determine your readiness:

Is Your Business Franchisable?

Here are some of the things we explore together:

• Is your concept unique or clearly differentiated from others in your space?
  
• Can your business model be replicated in other markets?
  
• Are you generating at least $300,000 in gross revenue annually?
  
• Are you a strong communicator who can inspire and support franchisees?
  
• Do you have time to invest in growing a franchise system?
  
• Are you ready to start a second business, because franchising isn’t passive.
  
• Do you have capital to invest in getting the franchise off the ground?
  

What Does It Cost to Franchise a Business?

Just like buying a franchise, franchising your business requires an upfront investment.
In the first 12 months, you’ll typically need a budget of $85,000 to $110,000. That investment covers:

• Franchise consulting and strategy
  
• Legal work, including Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and trademark registration
  
• Development of your operations manual
  
• Creating a professional franchise marketing toolkit– website, brochures, brand guides
  
• Promotion through trade shows, digital ads, and lead generation tools
  
• Building a sales process to educate and qualify candidates
  

We partner with two experienced firms that specialize in helping business owners like you make the leap into franchising. They provide all the pieces from legal to marketing to operations to build a franchise brand that’s ready for growth.

Your business got you this far, now let’s explore where it could go next.

And if franchising your business doesn’t feel like the right path, you might consider a bolt-on franchise that complements what you already do. We’d love to help with that, too.
