What is the difference between a franchise and a business?
A franchise is a legal agreement between you and the franchisor that allows you to use their business name, products or services. This may be the only connection you have with the franchisor and ultimately means that the franchisor has ultimate control over your business.
A business on the other hand, is a partnership between you and someone who owns or runs a business. In this case, there is an ownership stake in your business that can vary from one-third to one-half of your profits. The franchisor receives all profits as well as all employees’ salaries. The franchise holder still controls most decisions in running their business.
Franchisees do not own any part of their business; they are just employees who agree to work for the franchisors for a set period of time. They usually receive compensation from the franchisor based on their efforts at meeting specific benchmarks set by them, such as sales volume or profit margin for example.
Should I start my own business or buy a franchise?
The first thing to consider when deciding whether you should start your own business or buy a franchise is whether you have the skills and knowledge necessary to run your own business.
The second consideration is how much investment you want to make in the business, which will influence how long it takes for your business to be successful.
What’s maybe even more important: If you don’t have enough technical (or business) savvy, then chances are that buying a franchise will be a wise move for you.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of franchising?
Franchising is a growing trend in branding, and it’s gaining momentum by the day.
In fact, according to the International Franchise Association (IFA), franchising is poised for significant growth in 2015. And the IFA predicts that franchising will have over 7 million companies globally by 2020.
In other words, more than 50 percent of all companies in North America plan to apply for franchise opportunities as they enter into their second decade of business.
Despite the potential benefits of franchising, there are some key differences between franchises and businesses:
A franchise gives you more control over your business and its processes. You can change your marketing strategy at any time without needing to rebrand or restructure the company. A business allows you to set up shop anywhere in the world with a minimal investment, so long as you meet certain requirements that set you apart from other businesses operating within similar areas.
Can you still be your own boss with a franchise?
Many business owners want to take control of their own online marketing but still want to keep the freedom and control that comes with a franchise.
But can you still be your own boss with a franchise? Absolutely!
A franchising agreement outlines in detail what your business will be called, how your brand will be presented, who you’ll employ and who you’ll communicate with, as well as all the legal agreements. That’s because when it comes to franchising, there are some significant differences between a traditional corporation and a franchisor.
These differences include: 1) The legal structure (franchise vs corporation); 2) Ownership (franchise vs partnership); 3) Brand presentation (franchise vs company); 4) Employees (franchise vs independent contractor); 5) Communications channels (business-to-business versus personal communication).
