Franchising is a great alternative to starting your own business from scratch and gives franchisees the opportunity to live out their dreams of business ownership.
If you’re unfamiliar with the world of franchising, you might have an abundance of questions about what it is, how you get involved, and what goes into your investment with an already established brand. From investment costs to the day-to-day operations, management costs, training opportunities, support, and more – there’s plenty to learn and plenty of research needed to be done to ensure you invest with a brand who cares about your success.
The best franchise opportunities offer their franchisees a framework for success matched with the resources to help them grow. It’s crucial to look for a few key things prior to signing on with a franchisor and beginning your partnership.
Training and support
It’s important to know the brand you’re investing with cares about your growth and won’t leave you hanging once you sign your franchising agreement. Most top franchising brands will offer training and support programs right off the bat for new franchisees to help them learn the ropes of the business and get their footing underneath them prior to opening their doors.
At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we have a variety of training courses available to you once you sign your agreement, including our First Gear process to opening and our Stickmen University educational courses, so you can learn each piece of the business.
Dedicated support for your operation
Any good franchise brand will be able to offer daily support to your operation, making sure all of your questions are answered and you’re up-to-date on the latest happenings within the company.
At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, this is an area of our franchisee network we take very seriously and have entire teams built around franchisee support at our Michigan Support Center in Lansing, Michigan. These support teams are available daily and cover all areas of the business so you’re never left in the dark on any questions you might have.
Diverse revenue streams
Having diverse revenue streams within your business is also a huge component of growth within your organization. The best franchise opportunities include businesses where there is a push to do more, a commitment to offering customers more, and a focus on staying innovative.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCK lives this mindset daily as we continue to develop and roll out services to help our franchisees continue acquiring new customers. From local moving to long-distance moving, packing services, storage plans, business moving, and much more – we want to ensure customers know they can use us for any moving need they have, which in turn, helps our franchisees keep turning a profit.
