For a franchisee, a franchise provides business ownership and a business model for limited capital investment. For the franchisor it provides an extension of business reach with some part of the risk shared, a self motivated local manager and freedom from the administration of employment contracts. If properly applied it is a powerful formula. A badly written franchise contract leads to failure. A well written contract enables both parties to profit handsomely, provided that each party lives up to its obligations. Burman Associates have experience of devising the basis of successful arrangements, particularly in the field of distribution. We do not replace a client’s lawyers but we speed the process, understand the human dynamics and propose workable business models. For potential franchisors Burman Associates can greatly assist in defining the respective obligations the parties and creating profit opportunity for each. We can assist in selecting franchisees (passengers can be disastrous) and devise suitable controls. For people considering becoming a franchisee we can analyse the proposed arrangements and assist with assessing their viability. Distribution Managers should see franchised branches as a possible route to lower overheads, less hassle over remote employees and wage differentials and increased turnover. Purchasing Directors and Company strategists should consider franchising as an alternative, and highly controllable, form of outsourcing. Self employed people tend to work harder and show more initiative than branch employees. Burman can show how and where to make use of this tried and tested formula. |
