Franchise Your Business and Take Your Successful Concept to the Next Level
Are your current customers frequently asking you when you’re going to open additional locations? Have you considered expanding your business but are unsure how you’ll handle the increased business? When you franchise your business you don’t have to be in more than one place at a time because you’ll have franchisees who will be responsible for running their locations. If you see other businesses expanding and think ‘that could or should be me’, franchising your business may be the solution. With franchising support from The Franchise Edge it can and will be you.
Franchised Businesses are Responsible for $1.5 Trillion in Total U.S. Economic Output*
(*According to a report by Price Waterhouse Coopers)
Sales revenue generated by franchises accounts for more than 40% of all business revenue. There are currently more than 900,000 franchised business units in the U.S. and that number is expected to grow. The U.S. Department of Commerce predicts that by 2010 one out of every two businesses will operate under some form of franchise system. Stores and restaurants may be the first businesses that come to mind when you think of franchises, but in fact there are franchises in over 300 business categories.
