Do you have a proven track record of growth and profitability?
People buy franchises to learn from those who are successful. Growth and profitability are the standards that franchisees buy into, so to create a franchise you much have a successful track record. Depending on your situation, it may make sense to continue focusing on increasing your profitability before franchising.
Does your business have broad consumer appeal?
Are people asking you about buying a franchise? That is a good indicator that it may be time to create a franchise. Not every business has the same appeal everywhere. Not every franchise needs to grow nationally to be successful, but they do need to have at least a regional appeal or a specific market appeal. Is your market segment large enough for your business to flourish on a regional or national scale?
Is it easy to replicate or duplicate?
A key to successful franchising is having a proven system in place and being able to teach others this system. Through hard-work you have created something unique, but to take the next step to create a franchise you must be able to teach it to others. Is your operation complex? Does it require a large number of employees to manage day-to-day? Are there specials skills or licenses required? Answering these questions will help you determine whether you have the ability to duplicate your operation, which is critical to the success of future franchisees.
