Explain the steps of franchising business?
What are the advantages and disadvantage of establishing franchising
business?
Franchisors earn royalties from sales. Franchisees earn money from
profits. Achieving growth in both isn't always possible, potentially causing
conflict.
How to Franchise a Business
1. Make sure your business is ready to franchise.
2. Protect your business's intellectual property.
3. Prepare a financial disclosure document (FDD)
4. Draft a franchise agreement.
5. Compile an operational manual for franchisees.
6. File or register your FDD.
7. Set a strategy to achieve your sales goals.
Advantages
Franchisees may be more talented at growing the business and
turning a profit than employees would be.
The risk of business failure is reduced by franchising. Your business
is based on a proven idea. You can check how successful other
franchises are before committing yourself. Products and services will
have already established a market share.

The franchisor gives you support - usually as a complete package
including training, help setting up the business, a manual telling
you how to run the business and ongoing advice.
A franchise enables a small business to compete with big
businesses, more so than an independent small business, due to
the pool of support from the franchisor and network of other
franchisees
You can benefit from communicating and sharing ideas with, and
receiving support from, other franchisees in the network.
Disadvantages
Franchisors earn royalties from sales. Franchisees earn money from
profits. Achieving growth in both isn't always possible, potentially
causing conflict.
Costs may be higher than you expect. As well as the initial costs of
buying the franchise, you pay continuing management service fees
and you may have to agree to buy products from the franchisor.
The franchise agreement usually includes restrictions on how you
can run the business. You might not be able to make changes to
suit your local market.
Other franchisees could give the brand a bad reputation, so the
recruitment process needs to be thorough
The inflexible nature of a franchise may restrict your ability to
introduce changes to the business to respond to the market or
make the business grow.
