How long is the Franchise Research process to find the right brand for business ownership? It varies for every person and can be affected by learning styles as well as the depth to which the assessment and training work is done on the front end. Initial training and research can include (but not limited to: ??Get to know each other and establish trust ?Assessment of the candidate for Goals, Requirements, Values, Needs, & Work/Life Preferences ??Introduction to funding experts ??Education of the candidate about franchise concepts & why the variables matter - understanding helps with matching ??Matching to short list of best-fit brands ??Introduction to selected brands for interviews ??Support thru interview process ??Introduction to franchise attorneys Not all franchise brands do their part of the research process the same way either. These are the typical steps they take with candidates: ???Initial Interview - get to know you ??FDD review and franchisee framework ??Introduction of departments and key people ??Validation - interviews with existing franchisees (where candidate does important due diligence) ??Candidate reviews FDD with franchise attorney ??Discovery Day - roll out the red carpet ???Invitation to Invest ??Contracting & Pay Franchise Fee #franchise #research #businessownership Catherine Knabb

Did you know that some people start a business only to find it is not the right business for them? There are so many factors that are important when considering the kind of business that is right for you. Too often people reach out to and buy into a brand simply because they like it (as a consumer) without understanding what about it makes it a good fit or not as an owner/investor. Others do exhaustive internet research only to attract a lot of spam and high-pressure phone calls. There is a better way! Register for this free learning event to be held September 16 and get access two free assessment reports after the event, valued at $300. #franchise #businessownership #values #personality Catherine Knabb

If there are over 4000 franchise brands available for consideration in the US, how can anyone be sure to choose the one that is the Best Fit, or more importantly, avoid a Bad Fit? Engaging the services of an Ethical franchise consultant can help. Equipped with broader knowledge about brands and matching variables, a good consultant can help anyone identify critical matching factors and weed out brands that don't fit. How does that work?
