Your Guide to Franchise Ownership

I'm Merri Cronk with FranNet, and for the last 21 years I've been helping people into franchise ownership. Our process at FranNet begins with education. We want you to understand what franchising is and how it benefits you, or not for that matter. We start by providing insight on what to expect as a franchisee (the person investing in the franchise). We provide educational webinars and seminars are a regular basis to help you understand:?

• Why people consider this type of business ownership
• Pitfalls and successes
• How money is made and kept in business ownership
• How franchise ownership differs from starting from scratch or buying an existing business
• What types of businesses are available in franchising and considerations of the options
• How to fund your business
• How to do proper research to make your best decision
• How to get started in finding your franchise fit!

Sometimes, we offer spotlight webinars on franchise opportunities, so you can get gain insight on the franchisor (the company offering the franchise for sale) on many things including:

• The industry
• The business type
• History of the franchisor
• Sometimes, meet the founder or hear franchisee success stories
• Processes and systems for operating the business
• Cost of entry?
• Role of the owner
• Overall support of the franchisor and its vested interest in your success!

Even if the franchise presented isn’t right for you, you can gain knowledge on what to expect!

Let me know when you are ready to learn more. You can sign up to attend these events live or? ask for a recording. Having education can help you decide if you want to pursue franchise ownership at all. And if you do, you can get a handle on your timeline for getting started in finding the right fit.?
