What is franchising?

Franchising is a method of distributing products or services.  At least two parties are involved in a franchise system:

(1) The franchisor, who lends his trademark or trade name and a business system; and

(2) The franchisee, who pays a royalty and often an initial fee for the right to do business under the franchisor’s name and system. Technically, the contract binding the two parties is the “franchise,” but that term is often used to mean the actual business that the franchisee operates.

What are the things you need to be careful about before entering a franchisee business?

• Who is the Franchisor?
• The principals of the company and their business background as well as the history of the venture.
• What is the Offering? Exactly what is being offered? This section describes the length of the agreement, territory, responsibilities, opportunities, etc.
• How Much Will it Cost? Initial fees, royalties, advertising fees, start-up costs for equipment, and working capital are covered.
• What Does the Company Promise? Will they train? Develop training materials, ad programs, generate accounts?
• What do you promise? Most franchisors will restrict your activities to prevent you from using their system without paying royalties, during and after the agreement ends.
• Financial History of the Franchisor. Is the company stable? Will they be in business for the long-term?

•Lower financial risk, compared to other ventures, because investment costs are lower and profit margins are higher.

What is a business model?

• Business Model is method or means by which a company tries to capture value from its business. A business model may be based on many different aspects of a company, such as how it makes, distributes, prices or advertises its products.
• The business model concentrates on value creation. It describes a company’s or organisation’s core strategy to generate economic value, normally in the form of revenue.

The model provides the basic template for a business to compete in the market place, it provides a template on how the firm is going to make money, and how the firm will work with internal players (firm’s employees and managers) and external players (stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, and investors). The business model indicates how the firm will convert inputs (capital, raw materials and labour) into outputs (total value of goods produced) and make a return that is greater than the opportunity cost of capital and delivers a return to its investors. This means that a business model’s success is reflected in its ability to create returns that are greater than the (opportunity) cost of capital, invested by its shareholders and bondholders.

What is break-even point?

The Break-even Point is, in general, the point at which the gains equal the losses. A break-even point defines when an investment will generate a positive return. The point where sales or revenues equal the expenses incurred.  Or also the point where total costs equal total revenues. There is no profit made or loss incurred at the break-even point. This is important for anyone that manages a business, since the break-even point is the lower limit of profit when prices are set and margins are determined.
