How to Determine if You Should Use a Franchise Consultant
Potential franchise buyers are faced with a myriad of decisions. To the first time buyers the process of selection, due diligence and negotiations can be overwhelming. One option to consider is the use of a reputable franchise consultant to guide you through the process. This article explains why that may be a good choice for you by looking at the differences in objectives between the franchise consultant and the franchisor, the services generally provided by the franchise consultant, and the benefits of using a franchise consultant.
Differences in Objectives
Simply stated, the franchisor wants to sell you his franchise if you qualify.
The reputable franchise consultant, on the other hand, should have no bias toward any specific franchisor or franchise type. Rather, his sole objective should be to assist the franchise business buyer in making and executing the best decision to satisfy his or her requirements and qualifications.
Franchise Consultant Services
As a fundamental step, a franchise consultant should help you determine if running a franchise business is really right for you. For example, FranUnite, a firm providing franchise consulting service for franchise buyers, (http://www.franchiseopportunityservice.com) provides a test that profiles your aptitude and commitment against those of other highly successful entrepreneurs.
The franchise consultant then help you define your personal, financial, and lifestyle objectives, and should point you to the best franchises that meet your requirements out of the thousands of options available.
He should assist in your selection and guide you through a thorough due diligence process, covering all the potential snags such as local licensing requirements with which the franchisor may not be familiar.
If financing is an issue, he should direct you to potential sources.
He should be there to support you and to serve as your mentor until the franchise deal is closed.
Benefits Summary
In summary, engaging a reputable franchise consultant can save you big time in several ways.
1. First, by establishing a clear process and guiding you through the maze, you can save weeks if not months in completing the selection, evaluation, due diligence, financing, and closing process.
2. The anxiety associated with fear, uncertainty, and doubt about making the right decision is eliminated.
3. By objectively guiding you to the best decision and execution, you can avoid costly mistakes.
The franchise consultant's primary objective should be to help you become the owner of the best and most cost effective franchise business that meets your objectives.
