Multi-Unit Development
Opportunities
In the past franchise companies were mainly selling their opportunity
to single-unit operators or mom and pops, which they are commonly
called. Today many franchisors are seeking to sell their franchise
to multi-unit operators or area developers.
An area developer is a franchisee who has the right to establish
and operate more than one unit within a defined geographic territory.
The area developer will usually pay a fee for the territorial rights
and will have a performance obligation or schedule for unit development.
There are numerous advantages to becoming an area developer. Some
of these are:
- You eliminate the risk of the area you are interested in developing
more units in becoming saturated.
- You can develop more units in a close proximity to you other
units.
- You can diversify your risk in case you have an underperforming
location.
- You can protect the integrity of the franchise brand by controlling
the quality of your product or service.
- You have full control over your local marketing and get the
maximum benefits.
