The largest rewards and best opportunities in franchising are usually when a franchise company is in its early stages. This is when you can negotiate the best deal for yourself such as reduced franchise fees, larger territories, multi-unit agreements, area development agreements, area representative and master franchise opportunities and more lenient application requirements. It is also usually the best time to get the attention and quality of help you need to become successful.
When you are one of the early franchisees the company will do almost anything to make you successful so they can sell more franchises and grow their business.
Some people feel that if they don’t see a lot of franchises already established within the franchise system it is too risky to get involved in that business. Many times the early stages can actually be the best time. The key is to get to know the people who are running the company. You can have the best concept in the world and if the management is poor they will probably ruin the business. You can have an inferior concept and with good management they can make it a tremendous success. Take the advice of the most successful venture capital companies. Always look at the management first and then the product.
