Building a Franchise

If you want to expand your business dramatically, franchising might just be the best way to do it.

Because the franchisee - rather than the franchisor - provides the capital for expansion, a business can grow much larger and faster than if it were funded by loans or out of profits. With a franchise, it's possible to open up hundreds of offices, branches or outlets within a couple of years, at a much faster pace than you’d be able to grow the business otherwise.

Nigel's two franchises, thebestof and Raring2go! have generated over £9 million in front end sales alone, and millions more on the back end. thebestof smashed all records and became the fastest-selling franchise in the UK ever.

Like many entrepreneurs, you may be wondering whether your business is suited for the franchising mechanism that brought success to companies like McDonald's, Subway, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, Mail Boxes Etc, Hilton Hotels, Carphone warehouse, The Body Shop, Avis and Mothercare.

The answer depends on two things: what kind of business you want to have and what kind of business you have now. The kind of business you have now determines whether your business can be franchised; the kind of business you want to have decides whether franchising is the best way to build it.

If you plan to rapidly expand your concept nationwide, franchising might be your best bet, it’s a strategy that’s been used successfully by all sorts of businesses across many different markets; to discuss whether your business might be franchisable and if this Bootcamp might be for you, call Mark on 0121 765 5558 or email mark@thebestof.co.uk

Selling a Business Opportunity

Biz Opps are very different to franchises. Typically they offer less control to you, the business owner, and more flexibility for your buyers. You’ll also need to provide less support than with a full franchise operation.

You’ll find it easier to start selling a Biz Opp than to launch your first franchise, although neither are very difficult. A Biz Opp can be a one time product, like a book, or they can be as complicated as a you like, with a level of sophistication approaching turnkey franchises.

If you don’t want to become a Franchisor, but you’d like to generate a second, highly profitable, revenue stream from your existing business, then a Biz Opp could be for you.

Whatever business you’re in, it’s possible to use the expertise that you already have to develop a Biz Opp that could be ready for sale within weeks.

My Mag was the foundation for Nigel’s business, he’s sold well over 1500 My Mag ‘programmes’ since 2004, and they’re still selling strong at £3.5k each! My Little Wrapper was a ‘side of the desk’ project launched in 2008; it’s generated over £1m in upfront, front-end sales to date.

With nearly £5m worth of Biz Opps sold in the last 6 years, Nigel is an expert in developing, launching and marketing them.  Call Mark on 0121 765 5558 or email mark@thebestof.co.uk to discuss whether this Bootcamp would be right for you.

DO YOU SELL A FRANCHISE OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN THE UK?

ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS?

HAVE YOU GOT A PROFITABLE BUSINESS THAT YOU’D LIKE TO GROW DRAMATICALLY?

Now is a greattime to be selling franchises or biz opps. High quality franchised businesses and reputable business opportunities are set for 12-18 months of explosive growth. Tens of millions of pounds worth of franchises and biz opps are going to be sold over the coming months, not despitethe state of the economy, but becauseof it.

How much of that money and how many of the great potential franchisees out there will find their way into yourbusiness?

Too many businesses in our market simply aren’t good enoughat the marketing and selling of their franchise or opportunity. They are fumbling and guessing their way through everything from product positioning and pricing, to developing their networks and building sustainable, ongoing revenue. Many of them are using outdated strategies and techniques to try to sell franchises and biz opps in a market-place that has changed rapidly in the last 2-3 years.

There are a very small number of franchisors and biz opp marketers who are streets ahead of the rest of the market. While many of their competitors are watching growth rates decline, these few ‘winners’ are dealing with unprecedented volumes of strong enquiries and hot leads.
