This is an interview with a lady who has done his homework in researching the franchise opportunity offered in setting up your own business. She earned a FREE copy of my e-book in the competition ran last month.
1. What is your career position now?
"I am currently in the process of completing a due diligence process with a franchisor that I have chosen, after three months of research and reflection franchise very hard! Now I need to finish my business plan, get feedback from the franchise and a professional business advisor. I have secured an accountant, has been shortlisted My lawyers and I have talked to a manager at a bank franchise. My hope is to start as soon as possible! "
2. What measures have been through in his decision to want to buy a franchise or become self-employed?
As A first step was a series of Franchise Expo, attended lots of workshops to get a very good realistic view of the franchise and talked to many franchisors on the show.
I then contacted a service that matches a candidate with the right franchise according to the preferences of the candidate – all free! This service gave me a good indication of the types of franchise that is going to match the skills and expectations of companies in terms of financial aspects and job satisfaction.
Thirdly, I have never been before my own business, I attended a number of company / start-up of courses and workshops, of which Shelley was one of the most informative, as it continued even after the workshop was over! Knowing someone in the field that is capable of providing professional advice on a personal level is so valuable!
Finally, I did some research on the real demands of running your own business and, most important, if you had everything you need! You have to be very honest with you during this process as having a dream of being your own boss and actually deal with loneliness and insecurity running their own business, and therefore do not have a guarantee of a regular salary, it can cause some stress! Furthermore, the creation of its own beginning, the activity and creating a franchise with a support network in place are two very different things!
3. What tools or resources did not seem more useful?
The most important stages of my process have been looking in my own abilities, equip myself with the right skills, attending to the type of courses and workshops that have access to real-life experience and knowledge, and access to directories of franchises that can be used as a first step to start reducing their options.
There are a lot of literature available on the franchise, some of which are free, which for example, Franchises, Business Link and various brochures banks' franchise. They offer great advice on what information you want to extract the franchisor, what to expect and how to do his real dream for example, getting the financing in place, legal requirements, etc.
4. What advice would you give to any other person which can only be from his journey from "self employment" discovery?
You can start by doing a SWOT analysis on yourself same, really understand your skill set and how it can work for you. Also, be honest with yourself about what you like and dislike – this will save you plenty of time later. Start your research, be open and not necessarily rule out the franchise because it does not sound sexy enough – they can still provide excellent return on investment, if you are willing to work hard and follow the business model right down to the letter!
Do your research: franchise (brand image, industry?), franchisor (you get, is that support on their own?) business model, their competence, their area, etc. as many discussion in the field as possible and attend as many events as possible – you never know what is around the corner! And you're not afraid – not only doing this! You can get provided useful advice and support – that's the best part!
