About Franchising: |
Why should I buy a franchise?
The most significant benefit to franchising is the reduced level
of risk. This comes from the franchise system’s proven method of
doing business. Franchising offers individuals the opportunity
to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. The
Franchiser is there to provide support with all the different
functions of the business. They have seen the issues that can
arise in their business and know how to deal with any problems
effectively. They provide extensive initial training and support
so you’re well prepared to handle whatever comes. They can also
provide advertising and marketing support to help build your
business.
Why use United Franchise Connection and not go directly to the
Franchisors?
Quite simply to save time, money and potential aggravation! We
provide free business consulting to help you achieve your goals.
Our Affiliates have the experience and knowledge necessary to
assist you choosing the safest, most successful business
opportunities available. Our expertise and knowledge can save
you weeks or months in research time. And there is no cost to
you for this service. The price of the franchise and associated
fees will not be higher if you choose to use our service, it is
the same price.
How much does it cost to use the services of United Franchise
Connection?
You do not pay for the services of United Franchise Connection.
The price you will pay for any franchise will be the published
price as if you had gone directly to the franchiser. Our
franchise partners recognize the benefits of the quality and fit
of a client that has been referred to them after consulting with
United Franchise Connection, and they absorb our marketing
costs.
How will United Franchise Connection help me to find the best
franchise for me?
Our goal is to find an opportunity that will meet the specific
needs of each individual we work with. To do this effectively,
we first have to learn what those needs are. We will ask you a
series of detailed questions. Some sample questions you will be
asked are:
* What business are you in now?
* Have you ever owned a business of your own?
* What hours do you like to work?
* Where do you want your business to be located?
* How do you feel about managing people?
* How much capital do you have to start a business with?
* Will you have partners?
* Do you want to build multiple units?
* How soon do you want your business to open?
* Will you be involved on a full-time or part-time basis?
These are just a few of the many details we will discuss with
you over the course of our consultation process. With this
information we can match you with a few opportunities that are
consistent with your personal goals.
Sifting through over 2,000 franchise opportunities to find the
right fit for you can be a long, tedious and often overwhelming
process. We have already done this homework for you.
We have pre-screened hundreds of companies from all areas of
business in order to provide you with a wide variety of quality
franchise opportunities. They must meet the exacting standards
we have set to be included in our catalogue. We have done the
work so that we can help you find the franchise opportunity that
is perfect for you.
Is financial assistance available?
Financing can be a major hurdle for any potential franchisee.
Start-up costs can be high and it is essential that the
franchisee have adequate working capital. It is important to
address any financing issues during the investigation of
franchise opportunities.
Our franchise partners are experienced with this issue, and many
offer financing options. We can assist you with exploring the
financing options that are available to you.
Do I need specific industry experience to successfully own a
franchise?
No. In fact most franchisees have had no experience in the
industry that they go into. Franchisers want their business
operators to focus on running the business and not performing
the labor their concepts require. Franchisees are managers,
rather than workers. Franchisers need people who can be
effective in areas such as motivating employees, generating
sales, and running the day-to-day operations as effectively as
possible.
How soon can I get my business started?
This depends almost entirely on you. Our consulting process can
be completed easily within a few days if you are motivated. Once
you begin investigating different franchise opportunities, most
clients can find a great match for them within one to three
months. After you select the right business for you, it will
typically take anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months for your actual
business to open for operation.
