The Benefits of Owning a Franchise

Have you ever wondered about starting your own franchise? Perhaps the idea of launching your own business has long appealed to you, or perhaps it’s something you hadn’t considered until recently.

Whatever brought you here, we’re thrilled to help you figure out why you should start your own business. Here are five reasons that will help you make the leap.

1- Much of the Work Has Been Done for You

You’ve got lots to do when you start a business from scratch, like figuring out your business idea, drawing up a business plan, narrowing down your ideal customers, working out costs and profits, developing a marketing plan… it can get overwhelming for some.

One of the key benefits of owning a franchise is much of that foundational work has been done for you! Products and services already exist and have been tested. Branding and trademarks are taken care of. Locations, demographics, business plans… none of that is on your plate.

Why start your own business from scratch when you can get the rest of these benefits with less work?

2- You Don’t Need Much Experience

Just like the foundational work of building the business has been done for you, you also don’t need a lot of experience. Franchisors generally provide training, materials, and resources so you can hit the ground running, regardless of whether or not you’ve done anything like this before.

1Heart Franchise is particularly proud to provide this benefit of owning a franchise. We provide you with support every step of the way, including intensive industry training by your fellow franchisees who have already reached success. Then, as you grow, we provide additional services like accounting, staffing, selling, and marketing assistance tailored to your specific location.

3- Buying and Star Power

One stellar reason why you should start your own business with a franchise is the built-in buying and star power. The franchisor has already established connections with relevant companies in the industry. Those connections help the franchisor save money on their goods and services, and they pass those savings on to you.

The other half of this benefit of owning a franchise is star power. Similar to how a lot of the work has been done for you, franchises usually come with brand-name recognition. Think of it as starting a business with built-in loyal customers.

4- Go Into Business for Yourself

While the franchisor will usually have some say over how you run your franchise (their name is on the line after all), being a franchisee is still going into business for yourself. You have more independence when you own a franchise than when you work for a traditional 9–5.

When you choose to open a franchise, you choose to go into business for yourself but not by yourself. That’s choosing to be your own boss and choosing financial freedom. It’s arguably one of the best benefits of owning a franchise.

Set your own schedule, hire your own people, and run your own business. It’s the perfect solution for independent, self-motivated people.

5- Secure Financing More Easily

This one isn’t guaranteed because it depends on your banking situation, but in general, financing is an excellent reason why you should start your own business.

Banks can be more likely to offer you the necessary funds to launch your own franchise because they know you’re backed by the franchisor. You’re less of a risk to them because of all the benefits of owning a franchise we discussed above.

You’ve got most of the work done for you, training to get you started, and a built-in customer base, plus connections to save you money. All of that looks very appealing to people you’re asking to lend you money.
