Have You Considered Franchasing?

by Mike Murray - Dec 11, 2009

We know that a layoff can act as an intervention, by allowing time for introspection, self-exploration, and perhaps a new direction for your career. In fact, a number of members of the Career Management Network family have done exactly that. They took control of their career and started their own business.

The desire to control their careers is the reason most often stated by our clients as to why they want to explore franchise opportunities. At FranNet, we match folks who want to be in business with a high quality franchise that exactly meets their needs.

How Do We Do This?

We start by educating our clients about the franchise industry in general. The FranNet seminars help dispel myths about franchising, such as only food franchises are available, previous experience needed, cost to start a franchise (actually, over 50% are less than $100K), and the number of hours to run a successful franchise.

Next, we have our clients complete the Personal Franchise Assessment Form. The information provided in the PFA forms the basis for our face to face meeting. In that meeting, we jointly build a personal business model that contains our client's career goals. Including, but not limited to financial, personal, and lifestyle goals. At that time, we can suggest franchises that exactly meet that business model.

The FranNet process focuses on getting to know our clients.

Why a Franchise?

• High success rates.
• Proven business system.
• High level of predictability.
• Training provided by Franchisor.
• Brand recognition.
• Ongoing support from Franchisor.
• Support from other franchisees.
• And more...

You will be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Summary

Remember, the one sure way to fail in a franchised business is to not buy one. You have to step up to the plate if you want to hit a home run. FranNet services are at no cost to our clients. We have been successfully helping individuals in career transition for over 20 years.
