What's one of the big differences between starting a franchise or an independent business? One of the big differences is that franchising is heavily regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. By law, every single franchisor has to provide you with a Franchise Disclosure Document, also known as the FDD. In that document, they have to disclose things to you, like have the founders of that business had any litigation or bankruptcies? They have to disclose the costs of starting that business broken down by line item, how they identify their territories, and they disclose who their franchisees are. All of the franchisees in their system will be listed in the Franchise Disclosure Document, along with their contact information, as well as any that have left that concept. You have access to the franchisees so you can reach out to them as part of your research and due diligence. As an aspiring franchise owner, it's crucial to conduct thorough research to mitigate risks and make informed decisions. Rushing or skipping steps in the investigation process can lead to costly mistakes. Take your time and schedule a chat with me to talk about proper due diligence. Let's ensure your franchise journey starts off on the right foot! #FranchiseDisclosure #FranchiseDueDiligence #FranchiseInvestigation #BusinessRegulation

FAQ: Franchising Vs Master Franchising 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠:   - Picture this: The big boss (franchisor) gives the green light to a local entrepreneur (franchisee) to use their brand name, business plan, and all the backup support for a fee.   - It's pretty hands-on. Each franchisee runs their unit independently, but they've got to stick by the franchisor's rules.   - The franchisor's got their back, though. They provide training, marketing help, and whatever else the franchisees need to succeed. 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠:   - Now, imagine a middleman entering the scene. That's the master franchisee. They're like the captain of a territory ship.   - They secure exclusive rights to operate and expand the franchisor's brand within a designated territory, granting them the authority to sub-franchise the brand to individual franchisees within that area, potentially subject to meeting specific conditions.   - The master franchisee acts as a mini-franchisor within their territory, recruiting and supporting individual franchisees.   - They may provide localized support, training, and marketing efforts to sub-franchisees, while also serving as a liaison between the sub-franchisees and the main franchisor. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬: - Control: In franchising, the franchisor retains direct control over individual franchise locations, while in master franchising, the master franchisee has more control over sub-franchisees within their territory. - Expansion: Master franchising can spread a brand quicker in one area since the master franchisee's handling multiple franchise deals. - Investment: Going the master franchise route might mean dropping a bigger chunk of change upfront since it's like buying the rights to a whole neighborhood. Franchising and master franchising are like two different approaches to growing a business, each with its own vibe and style. Both models have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on factors such as the business model, target market, and expansion goals of the franchisor.

Said Blaze Pizza, LLC Pizza CEO Beto Guajardo: “This program isn’t just going to change your company; this is something that is going to change the entire industry.” Guajardo shared that insight and more at the recent QSR magazine-Auxis webinar, "Traditional Store Audits are Outdated: A New Approach to Protecting Your Brand and Boosting Franchisee Success.” More than 160 restaurant brand leaders tuned in to hear panelists Guajardo, Point B Senior Principal Julie Smith (fmrly Richman) and Auxis Restaurant Leader Keith Sayewitz discuss brand compliance challenges and a new tech-enabled approach to ensuring a consistent brand experience that drives loyalty and franchisee success. Key takeaways: * 90% of restaurant brand leaders said their frontline associates and store managers don't define brand excellence the same way as their brand – a major contributing factor to inconsistent and even poor store-level experiences. * No restaurant operators surveyed believe their brand compliance efforts drive operational excellence. * Nearly 60% of restaurant leaders said shifting to a tech-enabled brand protection model could provide value to their brand.
