25 Transferable Business Skills are the Key! Sales Customer Service Management Marketing
26 Why Own a Franchise? 900,000 franchised businesses provide 21 million jobs Over $2.3 Trillion Dollar Business Provide $660.9 Billion of annual payrolls There are over 3,100 franchise concepts in over 90 different categories.
27 Franchises Are Not All the Same Many Units vs. Fewer Units Older, well established vs. Newer Structured vs. Flexible Systems Expensive vs. Inexpensive There is no automatic correlation between the cost of the franchise and the potential return.
28 Different Business Models Employees Budget Business Environment Full or Part-time Hours Number of Units Business Preferences Types of Customers Service or Product New or Established Industry Room for Growth Other Items?
29 Why Franchising Works Proven, systematic approach to starting and staying in business Experience Simplicity Initial Training & Ongoing Support Name Recognition Sales, Marketing & Operational Systems Culture of Teamwork
30 Why Franchising Works You re in business for yourself, but not by yourself Franchises are a hybrid between corporate executive and an entrepreneur.
31 Be Aware of Statistics Big franchisors skewed the percentages because they had few failures Not all units are still run by the founder There are no average franchises You should only care about your success Make sure the franchise you are interested in is a great fit for you
32 Why Own a Franchise? If you pick a franchise that is a great fit for you, it is: Vehicle that can get you to your destination while meeting your lifestyle and financial goals Way to reduce risk
33 How Do You Find a Business That is a Great Fit? Separate the function of the business, from the function of the business owner!
34 Finding a Great Fit Interview at least 15 to 20 franchisees, the ones who are doing well and the failures. How are you the same or different?

38 Franchise mailbox Franchise Registry or Franchise findings list -
39 SBA S DEFINITION OF FRANCHISE: If the franchisor/licensor/dealer/jobber, etc. provides a product or service that is critical to the Small Business Applicant s business operation and/or provides a trademark critical to the Small Business Applicant s business operation, then the agreement and any related documents must be reviewed.
40 SBA S DEFINITION OF FRANCHISE: Therefore, if your prospective borrower s agreement is not listed on the Registry then EACH AND EVERY TIME an application comes in a review of the documents MUST be undertaken.
41 ISSUE SPOTTING IN AN AGREEMENT: Types of control issues that SBA has found that will render the franchise ineligible: Franchisor s ability to set the Applicant s net profit; Excessive continuing fees paid to the franchisor; Transfer the franchisor may not solely control the transfer of the business restrictions as to the franchisor s approval are fine but we must see our language that its consent will not be unreasonably withheld it will not be inferred;
42 ISSUE SPOTTING IN AN AGREEMENT Upon transfer of the business the SBA franchisee cannot remain liable guaranty the performance of the new franchisee; Franchisor cannot control the franchisee s employee s (hiring, firing, etc. but it is acceptable under short term step-in rights);
43 ISSUE SPOTTING IN AN AGREEMENT Step-in rights generally found in the death or disability section or franchisor s right to manage the business. When these provisions appear it must be limited to not more than 90 days and that the franchisor periodically checks with the franchise;
44 ISSUE SPOTTING IN AN AGREEMENT Requirement that the franchisee must deposit all receipts and revenues into an account which the franchisor controls or where withdrawals can only be made with the consent of the franchisor; Option to purchase the applicant s personal property upon expiration or breach and the franchisor control the price at the time of purchase;
45 ISSUE SPOTTING IN AN AGREEMENT Franchisor requires that the billing and collection for all products/services for the franchisee be handled by the franchisor or third party chosen by the franchisor; Franchisor requires that the franchisee or EPC owner must sell the real property to the franchisor upon expiration or breach of the Agreement;
46 ISSUE SPOTTING IN AN AGREEMENT Requirement for any restrictive use of the real estate cannot be recorded against the real estate; Right of First Refusal on a partial transfer of ownership within a franchise entity; Maximum or minimum pricing by the franchisor;
47 ISSUE SPOTTING IN AN AGREEMENT Physician can t solely be chosen by the franchisor; Mediator/arbitrator cannot solely be chosen by the franchisor; Reasonable Business Judgment is not the same as unreasonably withhold consent ; Requirement that the Franchisor has the right to purchase the business during the term of the franchise agreement.
