Introduction
Many people would rather prefer to receive a franchise to
start a business so that they do not need to get involved in
issues such as branding, target market identification, and
customer acquisition, which are the main challenges for
startup businesses. This is because they think it is easier to
receive a franchise than to start from scratch. This meth-
od of starting a business has various advantages and fewer
risks.
If you intend to launch a Smart Franchise Startup, you
need information on how to effectively start and succeed
at that business.
As stated in my other books entitled "Smart Business"
series, the "smart" method is to have a comprehensive view
from different angles on each business topic and find and
select the best method according to your situation.
In this book, the franchise is explained to you with a
smart look. The questions include the following: what is a
franchise? How can one launch a smart franchise startup?

Chapter 1
The Concept of
Franchise

a) Definition of the Franchise
The assignment of the franchise means that the owner of
a business permits other people to launch a business with
the same name and specifications, work and service meth-
ods, earn money from it, and in return, s/he (the owner of
a business) receives a fee for the franchise.
b) The Franchise Fee
There are several ways to get the franchise fee:
is to get the franchise at the beginning
and in full.
is to take the franchise as a withdrawal
from the sale over time.
is a combination of the first and second
methods. That is, an amount of money
is received at the beginning of the work
and a certain amount is also received on
a monthly or weekly basis - by agreement
- from the sale.

c) Ownership of the Franchise and Chain Stores
Franchise is another model
of chain stores that enjoy the
same management and own-
ership.
To increase the profits and develop
the business, chain stores usually de-
cide to maintain the same type of stores,
only with the difference that the man-
agement of each store is left to someone
else. This method is literally called the
ownership-management; that is, the
store manager is also its owner.
The difference between the
ownership of the franchise and a
chain store is that each chain store
has a manager who is paid and has
no direct ownership or interest in
managing the store. However, in
the franchise ownership, the store
manager owns the store.

The McDonald's owner, for in-
stance, authorizes a person who
asks for launching a fast food shop
to operate under the McDonald's
name and, in return, pay for the
McDonald's brand.
You cannot rent a brand and work on
your own term – you must adhere to the
brand’s rules and mode of operations!
When you are given the right to use a
brand, you are required to act by the rules
of the person who owns the business fran-
chise.
The reason for the growth of the
franchise ownership is that when
the customers visit a branch of a
store with a specific brand, such as
McDonald's, they expect to receive
the same services that are provided
in other branches. With this, irre-
spective of the branch of the brand
a customer enters, s/he gets the
same service and treatment.

Chapter 2
Reasons for
(Advantages
of ) Buying a
Franchise

The point of view of this part of the book is from the per-
spective of someone who is going to buy a business fran-
chise.
A set of reasons makes people choose the franchise
method between buying a franchise branch and launch-
ing their own business. The main reasons for that choice
are the following:
When you want to launch a business,
you will face many problems that do
not exist if you launch a franchise busi-
ness.
In the smart franchise startup,
you can start a business very quickly
and in a short time, without facing
complicated problems.
(Advantages of ) Buying a Franchise 11

You may need to spend a large amount
of money to start a personal business,
but in the franchise business, the cost of
buying the franchise may be more than
the cost of launching the business; how-
ever, if you consider it in the long run,
calculating the amount of the contract
that will reimburse you along the way, it
will be more financial to you to receive
the franchise.
The risks and losses you may incur on your
personal business can cost you several times
as much as buying a franchise.
Note

12

The main offices of franchise
businesses, offer you better pur-
chases at lower prices because of the
greater number of branches and the
more relations they have in the mar-
ket.
If you run a business like a fast
food shop for which you buy food-
stuffs at a certain price, do not doubt
that you can never buy the food-
stuffs you require as low as that of
a franchise business. It is important
that you maintain the same level of
quality as the other branches in the
franchise chain.
In fact, because you are in the
franchise business, you benefit from
buying cheaper in another way.
In addition to buying at a lower price,
marketing and advertising cost is sig-
nificantly reduced or even eliminated in
the franchise because it is in charge of
the central office.

In the process of launching, and
running a startup and a business,
you need to go through different
stages and do various paperwork,
while getting a franchise is an easi-
er task because the part of business
startup steps are already done and
the standards are pre-determined.
Therefore, you have far less paper-
work to do.
When buying a franchise, you are re-
quired to complywith standards that have
already been determined for the location
of the business and, this way, you are less
likely to choose the wrong location.
There are three things to consider
when launching a business: loca-
tion, location, location!
Note that nothing can be more
important than the location you
choose for your business.
Smart Franchise
14

In the franchise method, you can
take advantage of the knowledge of
the head office to select the location
because the head office has enough
experience and has already paid
for the wrong choices. But a person
who intends to start a business does
not have enough knowledge on his
own.
The knowledge that is passed on
to you in the franchise business
will prevent you from losing.
In a franchise, you are not involved
in the contract for life, and the contract
duration will give you a choice to extri-
cate yourself from the business or keep
it up.

The franchise has an ongoing ed-
ucation system; from the beginning
of the path of the business startup,
you will be trained and support-
ed throughout the work. Based on
all the mistakes, knowledge, and
information s/he has gained over
time through establishing various
branches, the business franchisor
trains new branches from the begin-
ning and monitors them along the
way to take the right way.
When you start your own busi-
ness, you may use different training
classes, but these classes are more
theoretical and you still do not know
how to put the methods into prac-
tice. On the way, there will be prob-
lems in the business that may incur
huge costs to solve.
When purchasing a franchise,
you will always enjoy the expe-
rience and tutorials of the head
office.
Smart Franchise
16

In starting a business, precise quality
control with the clear timing is not al-
ways an easy task. But the franchise man-
agement system, with multiple trainings,
performs quality control as a network
and it facilitates this process.
In launching a personal business,
in addition to the high expenses,
branding will be time consuming
and difficult for you, but in the
franchise, you are backed by a large
company with professional adver-
tising tools and standards.
By taking on a franchise, you
will enjoy the branding bene-
fits of the franchisor.
When you start a smart franchise business, for example, a
McDonald's branch, you will actually benefit from advertise-
ments of the whole brand collection and you compete with
a large number of people who work independently in the
same type of business; however, in the power competition,
you have the upper hand because you are supported with
years of experience and expertise.

Chapter 3
Challenges of
Taking on a
Franchise

There are several challenges for a person who wants to
franchise a business:
The person who runs a smart fran-
chise startup does not own the business.
Although the individual is the owner
and manager of the business, he is the
owner of the place whose rules and reg-
ulations are set by another. This means,
even though the manager controls the
business, s/he does not have total auton-
omy to set the rules or determine how
the companywill operate. Therefore, the
person has less action independence. In
addition, there is a large set of rules that
restrict him.
The individual who owns/manages a fran-
chise business must act according to the
franchisor's rules and regulations.
Notice
Challenges of Taking on a Franchise 19

If something strange happens to
the whole set of the franchise busi-
ness, it will affect you and you will
share in the aftermath effects of
that bad event.
Plenty of franchised businesses
attempt to make these flaws less
visible because these disadvantages
can be effective on the sales of their
branches.
Receiving a franchise imposes a per-
manent cost on you.
Although you pay the principal
amount of the business franchise at the
beginning of the work, the franchise
agreement must be renewed from time
to time and some fees must be paid, de-
pending on the agreements made with
the franchisor.
Smart Franchise
20

The amount paid as a down pay-
ment on the franchise is usually
non-refundable, which means you
will not be refunded if you do not
succeed for any reason.
However, for buying a franchise,
there will be a multiple-page con-
tract with certain obligations that
you must fulfill. Consider these
disadvantages and decide how you
can manage it, and when it comes
to selling your business, reduce
these issues to a minimum. Under-
standing this aspect of franchise
and knowing how to manage it will
help you succeed with your busi-
ness.

Chapter 4
Reasons for the
Growth of the
Smart Franchise
Start-ups

In this part of the discussion, we change our viewpoint and
assume that you are in a position where you want to cede
your own set of franchise.
From the franchisor's point of view, we look at a set
of reasons why the world of smart franchise startups has
grown so much compared to chain stores;
First, the return on investment in the
franchise business is rapid.
Suppose a store or brand has 200
branches. Calculate what capital is re-
quired to run these 200 branches; but
in the franchise method, the head office
does not invest such capital at all. That
person owns 200 branches, but virtually
he owns the capital of these 200 branch-
es. In fact, 200 different investors pro-
vide this capital, create added value for
the company and make its brand. These
all happened totally without direct cap-
ital.
Growth of the Smart Franchise Start-ups 23

There is a popular term called (R.O.I)
or Return On Investment. In the fran-
chise method, the return on your invest-
ment is much more than the amount
you invest for starting a personal busi-
ness, because you create the conditions
for others to invest in it.
For example, you expected to set up
100 branches and each branch would
pay you $1000 a month in profit, which
would totally be $100000. In the fran-
chise business method, you receive the
same $1000 profit, without investing
any money in these 100 branches. Sup-
pose you make $500 instead of $1000
and $50000 instead of $100000. On
the other hand, if you had to establish
those 100 shops yourself, how much
would it cost you? Consequently, you
realize that in franchising, the return
on investment and the profit are fast
and high compared to the amount of
investment.
Smart Franchise
24

Second, in franchising, the risk
is minimized because of the in-
vestment method. This means
that your business is growing,
developing, and has different
branches yet your direct capital is
not involved.
If something happens to your
business at any point, it is de-
stroyed or shrunk, the risk will be
spread to a large number of peo-
ple who are the business manag-
ers/owners, and all of the loss will
not directly affect the head office.
In the business franchise world,
there are various cases that fail,
but the amount of money which
people may lose is much less com-
pared to the state where the entire
loss encompasses one person. This
means when a sole-ownership
business fails, the only person that
is primarily affected by the loss is
the business owner.

Third, in the franchising, obligations
and responsibilities do not refer to the
original owner solely, but they are divided.
All branches of the business franchise
would sign lease or purchase agreements.
Imagine if you rented 100 branches from
100 owners, what obligations would you
have, compared to the case where 100
owners were in contract with 100 people
and these obligations were not directly
related to you. It is clear that in this case,
the obligations of the head office are re-
duced and it is not in contract with a large
number of owners.
Also, because each branch has a differ-
ent management, routine responsibilities
of individuals are minimized. Suppose
the responsibilities of the branch com-
plex are to lie with the head office and
a large number of staff are employed by
the head office. In that case, there will be
a great employee-worker commitment.
The margins of employee-worker issues
are enormous, but in a smart franchise
startup, it does not simply encompass
you as the head office, and it is distrib-
uted across the branches. In fact, in the
franchise method, the executive affairs
of the head office will make a shorter list.
Smart Franchise
26

Fourth, the growth rate of a
smart franchise start-up is faster
than a chain store's growth rate.
In a franchise, a large number
of people own a business in some
way, even though they own and
manage it on a temporary and con-
tractual basis, they still own the
business and because of the bene-
fits they have, they attempt to get
their business grown and, in fact,
the business grows, without hav-
ing to hire new employees in the
set. Each branch has its staff and is
managed by them.
Fifth, the more experience the em-
ployees and managers of the sets have
in business, the more they can apply it
for the growth of their business, and this
issue, can cause the growth of the smart
franchise startup.
Many people that who work in chain
stores or other stores will leave the set
for personal gain if they are offered a
better job position, but in the franchise

method, people will not leave the job be-
cause they consider themselves to be the
owner of the property somehow. This
gives them more confidence in their
own peculiar situation, and in this case,
managers will become older, and their
longevity and experience will strength-
en the foundations of the business.
Each branch has its own manag-
er-owner; therefore, it attempts to offer
the best representation and attract the
highest money. This person is indeed a
part of the collection, but s/he thinks of
making more money and, in practice, s/
he would help the whole collection, too.
Sixth, you are not alone. Any
changes or efforts you may intend
to make, there will be plenty of peo-
ple with you who can help you grow
your business in the marketplace.
The cooperation of branch
managers-owners can reduce the
cost of changes. McDonald's, for ex-
ample, has launched a new ordering
system that allows people to register
their orders without queuing and
just through specific devices. Mc-
Smart Franchise
28

Donald's needed to spend a large
amount of money to customize
such a system in its branches, while
now it announces to all its branches
that they have to have such a device
and pay the head office to have the
device installed for them. It even di-
vides the software cost between its
branches and receives it from them.
In fact, to buy this system and install
the software, it has to be paid by all
the owners-managers. On the other
hand, the credit of doing an inter-
esting job goes to the McDonald's
brand! But the value of its innova-
tion refers to all the branches.
AnotherexampleofMcDonald'sis
that it changed the decoration of the
branches some time ago. The cost of
decoration is high, but all branches
virtually did it over a period of time.
You may only see the whole growth
of McDonald's, while it does not pay
for its own growth out-of-pocket,
and the cost is distributed across all
branches. Furthermore, many peo-
ple from the set of branches would
accompany the implementation of
the program and help promote it.

Seventh, branding is easier in the
franchise method.
Branding means viable reputation;
it is a remarkably time consuming, pro-
longed, and arduous task. Additional-
ly, there were plenty of businesses that
spent large sums of money on the mar-
ket, but ultimately they could not make
a brand.
In the franchise method, the branding
speed is much faster. There were quite
a few businesses which spent a large
amount of money and advertised their
product for some time, but this period
was short and after that short period, no
more the name could be sustained.
In the franchise method, the first
step, which is presence and visibility in
the market, is easily taken because of the
large number of branches; that is, brand-
ing is simply made, and the further it
proceeds, the more permanent the pres-
ence of branches would become, and
consequently the reputation or brand-
ing is made for the business franchise in
practice, which is not usually so easy in
other businesses.
Smart Franchise
30

Eighth, you can benefit from
the advertisements that run
throughout the franchise business
system.
In the business world, advertis-
ing is an important program, but
in practice it is not cheap at all and
it is also difficult to manage. In the
franchise, a fixed percentage of
sales is deducted daily or month-
ly basis for advertising rights; that
is, apart from the amount of the
franchise, an amount called the
advertising fee is officially taken
from the branches and it is inject-
ed into the advertising system of
the whole set and everyone will
benefit from it.

Ninth, in the franchise method, be-
cause of the superior position creat-
ed in terms of branding, geographical
growth is much faster and easier. On
the other hand, you can be much more
successful in negotiating the sale of the
branch.
In Dubai, for instance, you can see
types of brands from around the world,
but Tim Hortons in Canada which is the
largest coffee shop chain franchise was
not located in Dubai at all because their
policy was to operate simply in Canada
and part of the United States. When they
decided to open a branch in Dubai, de-
spite the great cultural differences, they
could easily advance the deal and get the
vendees to accept their terms, in the ini-
tial explorations and negotiations, and
the vendees would also establish dozens
of branches in a small city like Dubai ac-
cording to the terms requested by the
franchise owner.
Smart Franchise
32

Tenth, the bargaining power is
dramatically increased by the fran-
chise method.
Another advantage of the fran-
chise is that you gain the power to
negotiate, because, in this way, you
face the owners of shopping malls
and managers of real estates and
passages. They are not willing to
give their place to others so easily.
The first class of people that would
accept the offer of this type of busi-
ness is shopping malls, supermar-
ket or large passages. The trust that
these people have in franchises is
not comparable to anything else,
and when it comes to competition
between two or three groups, prop-
erty owners basically prefer the
other side to be a franchisee.
With regard to what was men-
tioned, if you own chain stores,
you may think of a formula to turn
branches into franchises. The fol-
lowing is the path you must take to
achieve that purpose.

Chapter 5
Launching a
Franchise

a) Primary Research
If you hope to launch a fast food store or an online store
and turn it into a franchise, you must understand and
know all the points mentioned in this book. However, you
must maximize your knowledge of the market and busi-
ness before that could be done.
Like any other business, if you must have a great fran-
chise network, you must deeply research the market. Ex-
plore different topics related to the market and compet-
itors to achieve information in that regard; study what is
happening in the market; the people in the market; and
how they provide services.
Primary Research 35

To find out what is going on in your
intended business guild, attempt to
find the answers to the following ques-
tions:
ƒ
How attractive and marketable is your intended
business?
ƒ
How much can you plan on that business and rely
on it?
ƒ
How productive can the activity in that business
be?
ƒ
What is this business's size and capacity and how
much are the transactions and financial exchanges
in that business?
ƒ
Who are the customers of that business?
ƒ
Who are your competitors in that business?
By explorations, determine the geographical
scope of your activity. Of course, in the fran-
chise world, you should not despise your lit-
tle beginning. Do not be afraid to enter the
game from a smaller geographical scope,
with time, you will grow little by little.
Note
Smart Franchise
36

In your investigations, divide the
competitors into two parts: franchise
businesses, which are your direct com-
petitors, and independent businesses.
¾
In your intended area, the independent businesses:
ƒ
How do they work?
ƒ
How successful are they?
ƒ
What market share do they have?
ƒ
What services do they provide and how?
¾
Consider and examine franchise competitors, too:
ƒ
What style do they have for their work?
ƒ
How do they accept the branch requests?
ƒ
What are their sales and trading methods?
ƒ
With what percentages and amounts do they
work with the vendees in the branch sales? What
is the approximate amount of their transactions?
ƒ
How many branches do you have in your area?
ƒ
What parts of the area are these branches located?
ƒ
How do they deal with the owners of the proper-
ty that they bought or rented?
ƒ
How successful are they in the branch sales?
ƒ
How much do they spend on their advertising
campaigns and how do they run them?
ƒ
What kind of training do they have?
ƒ
What are they teaching at their training
ƒ
Who do they train?
Primary Research 37

¾
In your initial market research, at-
tempt to find and investigate your
competitors' training packages.
A franchise business training package includes the de-
fined specifications, standards, and information accord-
ing to which branch can launch a business by purchasing
a franchise.
¾
By being aware of your competitors' training infor-
mation, you can both recognize what they are train-
ing and be more successful in standardizing your
training packages by observing their work.
¾
Do not forget that your competitors have encoun-
tered multiple problems over time and have learned
different things in that way.
¾
The franchise power can be felt when the custom-
ers enter through the door, where everything seems
familiar to them. The services that are going to be
offered -from the initial greeting to the presentation
model of the menu and ordering- are what they ex-
pect to receive from other branches.
Therefore, the most important part is teaching
the standards of a franchise to the people who will
provide services; both branch managers and em-
ployees should receive a set of training to create co-
ordination in service delivery.
Smart Franchise
38

¾
Coordination of supply is a good reason for exis-
tence and success of a franchise, and you must de-
sign and prepare this in your training.
Write all the points mentioned above in a table
like Table 1 for all your competitors. Depending on
the type of business and the important information,
you can write quite different things in the table.
As an example, the first line is filled in for a hypo-
thetical competitor to get you to learn how to record
the research results about your competitors. Your ta-
ble may be different from this one, and you consider
other items in the columns, too.

Primary Research 39

In the primary investigations, make
a list of startup costs in your geograph-
ical region because the cost of starting
a business varies from place to place in
the world, even from city to city within
a country. The franchise is no exception.
Therefore, investigate to find out what
expenses you might be faced.
Experience will be gained over time and
there is no doubt in it, but by exploring and
gathering information and preparing a table
of research results, you will achieve a vision
that enables you to evaluate your specifica-
tions.

b) Examining Your Advantages and Challenges
Compared to Competitors
¾
Consideryour advantages over com-
petitors and compare your disad-
vantages and problems with them.
¾
First, make a list of the advantages
and challenges of starting a business
franchise, and list them in a table
like Table 2.
ƒ
For example, you are more suc-
cessful than your competitors in
terms of advertising and providing
services or, in terms of location of
branches, you may have access to
places where your competitors have
not yet reached and those areas are
still untouched, so you can estab-
lish your own branches there. Write
down what you think is an advan-
tage for your business in the table.
ƒ
In the category of challenges men-
tion, problems such as your low ini-
tial capital, your unknown and new
brand, and whatever you think can
be a challenge for business.
Your Advantages and Challenges 41

¾
It is insufficient just to list the ad-
vantages and challenges, but you
need to assign a weight to each case
according to the importance and
impact it has on your business.
Your assessment will not be val-
id if you regard all the advantages
or challenges as equally important.
For instance, lack of capital and low
advertising are both challenges, but
the negative impact of lack of cap-
ital in your business can be several
times greater than low advertising.
Therefore, you can give a weight
or a factor of 9 to the lack of capital
and a weight of 3 to low advertising.
Similarly, you can assign a number
from 1-10 as the weight or impact
factor for all items in the table. Con-
sequently:
ƒ
In the first column, write down the
list of advantages.
ƒ
In the second column, write down
the weight or impact factor of each

Your Advantages and Challenges 43

Look at the list of advantages and
challenges of your business and see
what section of the table is more
weighted.
Look at the table of competitors'
advantages and challenges; if the
two weights of advantages and chal-
lenges are on the same level, the
situation is not bad. If the weight
of challenges is heavier, your risk
will increase; therefore, you need
to find out the extent of difference.
Most times, you decide to enter the
market and think because of your
communications, experience, etc.,
you can manage everything; but if
the weight of challenges is so great
that you cannot keep the balance,
you should be afraid.

c) Deciding on Launching a Franchise
Based on the comparison you made in the previous
section, you know whether you should enter the franchise
game at all or not. By analyzing the previous tables, you
will reach four different scenarios;
Most of the times at the end of this
decision you may decide to launch one
or two branches or you do not enter the
franchise at all.
Most of the time, by examining the
table, you may recognize that you can
enter the market and there are various
factors in your favor. Then you set up
the smart franchise startup.
Enter the game and leave the franchise
plan forthe second step ordevelopment
phase.
Start the work and then move on to the
direction you can later consider that
works as a franchise, but it takes a long
time to be done.
The
First
Scenario
The
Second
Scenario
The
Third
Scenario
The
Forth
Scenario
Deciding on Launching a Franchise 45

If you choose a scenario to enter the franchise business,
find the answers to the following questions;
ƒ
Is it really possible to sell a branch?
ƒ
Is your business idea really attractive to sell it to
others?
ƒ
Will it be possible to sell one or more branches in
the desired geographical area or not?
ƒ
Can your business be copied?
ƒ
Does this business have the potential to establish
multiple branches?
ƒ
Is it easy to make a profit after investing or not?
Your idea is to start a hardware store, for example; think
about these questions: can it be copied in different parts
of the city? How easy can you copy it and set up different
branches?
To answer any of the above questions, refer to your re-
search results and find the answers based on the informa-
tion you gathered.
When you are looking for a business fran-
chise, i.e., a branch sales, you must be able to
prove to the vendee that it is profitable with a
regular standard.
Note 1
Smart Franchise
46

To franchise your business, you need to
make your customers feel that the head
office and you are one hundred percent sup-
portive.
Based on your research on your competitors, you
can conclude that in supporting branches you are bet-
ter, or at least similar to them, compared to the com-
petitors.
In the last few years, several companies launched fran-
chise businesses. Because of their wide experience in
that field, initially they were able to sell 10-20 branches
to different people. However, when they could not pro-
vide good support services, they had trouble selling the
next branches, and their franchise business actually went
bankrupt.
Note 2
Deciding on Launching a Franchise 47

d) Financing
¾
The franchise's appeal is that you do not invest your
capital, but this does not mean you do not need cap-
ital. Like any other startup in the business world,
and even more than a typical startup, the franchise
requires capital. In a business plan financial review,
you will find out how much capital you need.
¾
In the research phase, you have already reached an
estimate of the costs required to launch the fran-
chise. At this level, consider how you can afford
those costs.
Assess your required capital and financial
resources carefully, and then take action.
Notice
Smart Franchise
48

e) Branding
When you decide to launch your own business franchise
and specify how to fund it, it is time to register a brand and
make a brand; that is, registering a company, registering a
name, registering an internet domain, and commercializ-
ing names in the geographical area where you are going to
work.
¾
If you have a long-term plan, you need to register
your brand internationally from the beginning.
Before entering the market, settle all the registra-
tion matters afoot and rearrange your brand over
time.
¾
Specify the design of branches, advertising slo-
gans, and logos; how are you supposed to be seen?
What colors will be your color? What are the spec-
ifications you are going to come to the market
with?
For each of these actions, seek the help of
relevant, especially professional franchise
experts, to assist you along the way and
advance the activities.
Notice
Branding 49

f) Legal Issues
¾
In the franchise world, you need to have an attorney
for legal issues; from the very first step you want to
set up a business franchise and create its structure,
you need an attorney to accompany you at all stages.
¾
You can work with a group of attorneys or a compa-
ny that takes responsibility for your legal affairs.
Smart Franchise
50

g) The Cooperation Contract
Prepare a complete, professional, and
comprehensive contract set that is an
agreement between the branch vendees
and you. To do this, ask your attorney to
prepare a franchise agreement for you.
Withoutconcludingaprofessionalandrobust
contract with the individuals who buy the
franchise from you, you will face several
problems. As long as this business is con-
trolled and has its own standards, it can have
side effects and disputes.
With a strong contract that takes
all the rules, policy and regulations
of the country, province and even
city into consideration, you can easi-
lyresolve potential conflicts between
the vendees of the branch and you.
A large number of urban laws can affect your
business and make you lose in the courts.
Notice
Notice
The Cooperation Contract 51

The financial relationship between
the branch vendee and you is one of the
most important things in the contract
that should be transparent.
For example, you will receive an ini-
tial payment as the salary and cred-
it that vendees have to pay for using
your brand. You will also receive an
amount as a management fee, as well as
an amount as an advertising fee. All of
these cases must be clearly stated in the
contract.
To clarify financial matters, some of
the things you need to make clear in the
contract include the following:
¾
As the franchisor, how much mon-
ey must you receive as the franchise
fee from branch vendees?
¾
What is your approach to grant a
franchise?
¾
What products will your contract in-
clude?
Smart Franchise
52

Another issue in the contract is
its duration. Some contracts are
shorter and renewable and some
are longer, for example; depending
on various factors, you can con-
clude a 5-year renewable contract
or consider more or less time.
Determining the duration of the contract is up
to you. The important thing is to specify the
time of the contract to avoid later conflicts.
Note

The next important issue in the con-
tract is the ownership of the name and the
set of property belonging to the franchise.
The franchise agreement must specify
that the brand name belongs to the fran-
chise but not to the branch to restrain it
from having an opinion on it or abusing
it for any reason. For example, no one can
claim in any court that "I have had this
branch for 50 years and I own its name."
In the branch sale contract, it should be men-
tioned that all intellectual and non-intellec-
tual rights and the ownership of this
collection belong to the head office.
In the contract, specify how
much the franchisee has the right
to provide a property; is s/he al-
lowed to rent or buy the property
or be done under the head office's
direct supervision?
The specifications of the prop-
erty considered to start a franchise
business must also be clarified in
the contract.
Notice
Smart Franchise
54

Another issue considered in the con-
tract is the provision of raw materials
and purchases for the branch.
It should be clarified whether a branch
is allowed to make some purchases inde-
pendently or even if it needs water, it should
be supplied by the head office and all
branches should follow the same standard.
Some franchisors allow branches to
obtain some raw materials from else-
where, but some of the raw materials are
supplied by the head office. At McDon-
ald's, for instance, there is almost nothing
a branch can provide from other sources,
and the head office supplies everything.
The next issue related to fran-
chise contracts is the confidential-
ity; the contract should principally
be concluded between two parties
and should not be revealed to any
other person or competitor. In fact,
the contract is part of the rights of
the franchisor and the copyright,
the terms of which should not be
revealed anywhere.

The next issue is the credit guarantee
that is taken from individuals. Some-
times, the people who buy the franchise
get a company involved and that reg-
istered company buys the branch and
there is no individual responsibility, but
the legal responsibility of those compa-
nies.
To protect themselves and increase the
branch owner's responsibility, the smart
franchise startups also would use the indi-
vidual credit of the person to make him/her
responsible and personally accountable if
there were a problem, and the responsibility
is not solely assigned to the company.
Note
Smart Franchise
56

The contract explains the ac-
counting system and its form and
method. These explanations in-
clude: how long should the infor-
mation be stored? How and where
are the accounts kept? Further-
more, the information must be in-
spected by the head office.
This clause of the contract dis-
cusses various software in account-
ing systems, the collection manage-
ment method, funds, etc. The owner
of a franchise would specify what
software is allowed to be used or state
that the head office will provide it.
The next thing that should be men-
tioned in the contract is that the employ-
ees of each branch are the employees of
the same branch and are not considered as
direct staff of the head office; at the same
time, each branch must diligently observe
the rules and regulations set by the head
office about employees. The branch must
ensure employees are hired in accordance
with specifications set by head office.

Devise a mutual agreement be-
side your contract based on which
the parties can reach a common
understanding. The provisions of
the agreement depend on the cir-
cumstances of the countries and
provide an overview of the business
and its specifications, the amount
of money that the branch vendee
must spend and the general rules.
Meanwhile, over a period of time,
the head office also can examine
the decision to sell or not sell the
branch.
Smart Franchise
58

h) Funding
¾
After the subject of the contract, investigate which
group, bank, and collection you can negotiate with to
provide the head office loans and branches for you.
¾
One of the most important steps in selling a branch
is to agree with a bank group to provide a portion of
the branch capital as a loan for the branch vendee.
¾
Therefore, within the geographical area where you
work, start negotiations with the sponsors and agree
with them that part of the capital is provided from the
agreed banks for those who intend to buy the branch
from you in the form of loans. If your business plan
is attractive to people, achieving these agreements is
easy. This is because the sponsors will take you seri-
ously and fund the investment by providing a por-
tion of the capital in the initial stage of the startup.
Funding 59

i) Location of Branches
Specify the exact location of your business:
ƒ
What is the size of the business location?
ƒ
What geographical locations are important to
you? Is establishing a branch in shopping malls,
outdoors, on narrow avenues or on wide streets
or between roads and out of town the best for
you? Each of these places is different, so they will
have different features and specifications.
ƒ
How should the design of decor be based on the
plan, business model, services, and products you
offer?
ƒ
What is the distance between a branch and the
next one?
Suppose you receive five different branch
purchase offers in an urban area. Does your busi-
ness have the capability for establishing 5 branch-
es in that urban area? To answer this question, be
realistic and carefully assess the current demand
for your products or services.
Anyway, your business model will deter-
mine this decision. If there were enough de-
mand to create five new branches in an area,
you would sell five branches, but the point to
consider is how much distance is there be-
tween the two branches? For example, having
one branch inside the shopping center and an-
other in the outdoor, with a short distance, is
Smart Franchise
60

possible. But if both branches are to be on the
street side, you need to determine the distance
between them. Decision making is based on
population density and specifications of the
geographical area, the street traffic, and the
type of services you offer.
ƒ
The next issue associated with the location is
to purchase or rent a property. The majority of
franchisors start with renting to reduce the risk
and then they move on to purchasing. Some peo-
ple have a purchase strategy which is a kind of
revenue for them.
The value of a franchise or chain store de-
pends on the property they own. The people
who can afford to buy the property have a
clear idea that their property is valuable and
they will purchase the property right from the
beginning. Most of these purchases are made
with banking capital and loans. Overtime, in-
stead of paying rent, they pay a monthly in-
stallment, and their property values enhance
over time.
If you are confident in the decision you make,
create added value in the long run by purchasing
a property. Sometimes you cannot purchase the
property, because it is located in shopping malls
and passages or office buildings that are not sold
at all. In that case, you have no choice but to rent
the property.
Location of Branches 61

Sometimes large companies would purchase
the property, but charge the franchisee for the
rent amount. The brand owner owns the prop-
erty. This way, his/her franchise business grows
and it’s the brand’s position in the market is
strengthened.
One of the best ways to grow a franchise is to
have a fixed physical location so that people
can always see your sign in a specific place.
This will make branding easier and create
added value to the franchise.
When I cross every street, without thinking, I re-
member at which crossroads, I saw the McDonald's
branch five years ago and I am sure it will be there for
another five years.
If you are going to rent a property for your
business, sign the contract for five years or
more on average so that the landlord cannot
easily take it back from you.
Note 1
Note 2
Smart Franchise
62

Therefore, in rental contracts, make strict
contracts that:
9
First, they are long-term.
9
Second, maintain your authority that whatev-
er happens in the future, you will be involved
in. Because you have the franchise, you can
speak with power.
Big and small property owners tend to work
with franchises because the franchises can both
pay the rent conveniently and create added value
to the commercial property.
In commercial real estate transactions, the
first question a landlord may be asked about is
who the tenants are. Suppose all or some of the
tenants own franchises. In that case, if the usual
price there is $5 million or $10 million, for exam-
ple, it will be $15 million because it is guaranteed
that the business will generate revenue and have
regular customers.
ƒ
When you are in search of a location, consider
the location of competitors. In your initial mar-
ket research, consider whether you really want to
be in a place where your competitor is contermi-
nous with you or you prefer to stay away from it.
ƒ
In malls that are very active and crowded, pres-
ence of several competitors helps to make it
crowded, rather than being a detriment to those
who work there.
Location of Branches 63

j) The Branch Inauguration
So far, you have prepared your business plan; you did
branding and brand registration, and presented the train-
ing issues. Now you are ready to launch one or more initial
branches.
¾
In a franchise startup, one or more initial branch-
es are basically set up on a trial basis to test the
market and study if all the programs are going
well.
If you can sell several branches to different
people before starting a business, you are very
skilled.
¾
After testing and eliminating possible problems,
hold a great inauguration ceremony. Hold a real
noisy inauguration and invite everyone to at-
tend.
Make a series of special offers at the inaugu-
ration to help your branding. By this, you
actually help to set up your business.
Note
Smart Franchise
64

k) Applying Professional Forces
Employ professionals who can deliver your product ef-
ficiently and professionally.
¾
First of all, hire an attorney. It is better if the attor-
ney is specifically a franchise attorney or has expe-
rience in franchise.
¾
Make a short-term or long-term contract with a pro-
fessional franchise consultant and have a consultant
beside you during your working time.
¾
Ask for help from branding consultants. The busi-
ness franchise has the potential to become a brand
quickly. It is better to use this potential more by hav-
ing consultants with expertise in branding. Having a
branding consultant with the experience of activity
in similar fields to franchise businesses is financially
beneficial to you, and the profits cover the cost of
this consultant in practice.
¾
You also need a professional accountant or accounting
firm, preferably with the experience in franchise or a
company with dominance over franchise accounting,
because accounting is an essential part of any firm.
Various businesses fall under franchise busi-
nesses, both service providers and sellers and busi-
ness branches; therefore, control and order come
first here. The smallest disorder in accounting can
cause parlous losses.
Applying Professional Forces 65

l) Preparing Training Packages
Ask an expert to set up training packages. You need two
training packages:
ƒ
A training package for all managers and employ-
ees and individuals who are supposed to work in
the branches, but are behind the scenes.
ƒ
A training package for the team of branch sales
that is in direct contact with customers. This pack-
age includes tutorials on how to present and intro-
duce the advantages of your business model that
you can use in your sales in branches.
¾
Be aware thatyou have two groups in front; one is
the branch managers and the other is the branch
employees who are at different levels of knowl-
edge, skill, and competence. All of these individ-
uals should be able to use the training easily.
¾
Part of the training can be online. The other
part should be practical and direct so that in-
dividuals need to be present in the classroom.
¾
It is much better to use modern tools to make
training easier for individuals; that is, it should
not be complicated so that they do not have to
attend classes at a specific time by traveling a
distance. If the training can be online and teach-
er-centered and they come together in one
space in a shorter time, it will be more effective.
¾
Some businesses require people to attend manda-
tory training classes to ensure that they do it well.
Smart Franchise
66

All franchise businesses have a
specific training strategy. Those
who take training seriously will
gain the highest success.
¾
If you look at the successful franchise busi-
nesses, you can see that their focus is on
in-service training. Follow-up tutorials are the
result of the various feedbacks received from
customers; while working, customers have
complained to them and had demands that
caused them to change their training method
or made them change the tutorials according
to the market needs.
¾
Training should be objective, practical and
applicable; that is, it can be implemented in
practice. It should not be something that is
not in accordance with their literacy in the
practical world. For that reason, leave training
issues to companies that specialize in training.
¾
Prepare a handbook to introduce your collec-
tion and submit it to everyone, whether head
office staff or branch staff, to get to know you
through it and obtain the information they
need about you. It is better to provide the em-
ployees with the work history of the collection
and its key issues.
Preparing Training Packages 67

m) Marketing for Branch Sales
A franchise company first works on selling the number
of branches and secondly designs a strategy on how to in-
crease sales of the services and products of the branch. As
a result, the business franchise marketing has two aspects:
ƒ
Marketing for selling the branch;
ƒ
Marketing for selling the products and services of
the branch.
In this part of the book, only case 1 is dealt with.
You can read my other books on marketing to learn
about marketing to sell products and services.
ƒ
First, determine how you want to market your busi-
ness and who you will sell it to.
ƒ
Develop a branch marketing and sales plan.
ƒ
Think where vendees can be found1
.
ƒ
Specify what specifications vendees should have.
ƒ
Determine the sales periods of the branch.
ƒ
Specify how many branches and in what geograph-
ical areas are to be sold.
ƒ
Make a good map of the parts of the city where you
want to have a branch. Give this list to the market-
ing sector to adjust the marketing plan accordingly.

1. MethodsofMarketingandSalesoftheBranch
¾
Participate in events where potential vendees of the
branch may attend, as visitors or exhibitors. Partici-
pate in events with a strategy different from the typi-
cal one because you want sell a branch, not a product.
¾
At events, provide a brief overview of how your
business franchise is run and prove that it is easily
manageable.
¾
Introducing your business emphasize the ease of
operation and management of the business and il-
lustrate it using slides and videos. What matters to
the vendees is how easily they can run the business.
Numerous food outlets at franchise fairs turn the
entire kitchen into a booth to illustrate the ease of
doing business there, and the vendees can witness
this in front of their eyes.
¾
Attend online business events. A large number of
people attend these events behaving businesses to
sell. and/or aiming to introduce their businesses to
others or seeking to identify and buy businesses.
¾
Use theproprietarymediatofranchises.There are many
media in the world whose subject matters and headlines
are particularly related to franchise discussions.
¾
Ask for help from professional sellers of franchise
such as real estate agents.
Marketing for Branch Sales 69

¾
Use the websites available in this field to find and
inform people interested in buying or selling a fran-
chise about franchise businesses available.
¾
Social media: one of many topics that are largely
followed on social networks is business. You can take
advantage of this subject and introduce your busi-
ness franchise capabilities for selling a branch.
¾
News packages: you can use it professionally to in-
troduce your brand and in a corner of it mention
that you have a few branches to offer.
¾
Your website: put introductory information on the
website and design it according to the search engine
optimization methods and explain all the possibilities
with the professional design for the branch vendees.
¾
Internet advertising: by inserting advertisements in
appropriate and popular places, you can start mar-
keting and selling your branches.
¾
Appropriate presentation of your business: some
people specialize in marketing for branch sales. You
can ask these people to help you make a profession-
al presentation of your business franchise. This pre-
sentation should:
ƒ
Be consistent with your brand and franchise.
ƒ
Harmonize with other advertising and marketing
methods of you.
Smart Franchise
70

ƒ
Be understandable and easily state the clear and
basic information that customers need.
ƒ
Explain the primary conditions, in addition to
the price and business idea, to make buying a
branch attractive and highlight the advantages of
the business.
ƒ
Hold group presentation sessions;
ƒ
Invite people to attend specialized branch sales
seminars that are part of the sales tools.
ƒ
Talk about the advantages of establishing branch-
es and how to administer them.
ƒ
In your brand graphic design and content, use
bold letter to write the main advantages of your
business franchise.
ƒ
Speak about the head office support and profit-
ability methods at the top of your introduction.
The decision to use the above methods depends on
the head office structure. At the head office of a franchise
business, apart from all the usual sections for doing the
business, there is a specialized section for the branch sales.
There is no single marketing method for the
branch sales and one method cannot neces-
sarily be appropriate for all smart franchise
businesses.
Note

2.
2. Branch Sales Strategies
¾
One of the important strategies of the smart
franchise startups is to increase the number
of branches. For instance, you can offer a
partnership to the shopping malls such that
they provide the business location and the
business itself is invested by you as the fran-
chise owner and sell the branch to others in
the long term.
¾
Another way is to establish a series of
branches and sell ready-made branches to
vendees. With regard to your strategy and
the amount of capital you have, you can
take the spaces, arrange them, design the
decoration, and do what you expect the
branch vendee to do, but introduce them as
the ready-made branches in the list of sales
sector of the branch.
Identify multiple models to attract vendees,
provide them with primary information,
and hold a sales meeting as the next stage.
Notice
Smart Franchise
72

3.
3. Vendees of a Franchise Branch
¾
When the geographical area is specified, the
marketing sector can act smartly to attract
vendees. For example, if you want to have a
branch in a shopping center, first target the
businesses inside the same shopping cen-
ter. Your marketing sector will inform them
that you are interested in having a branch in
that shopping center. There might be sever-
al among them who are thinking of changing
their business or they may have a space. By
offering these centers, you can find a vendee
for your business branch.
¾
Some of the franchise's main vendees are peo-
ple who have ready and empty spaces; there-
fore, the marketing sector can inform the
owners of the vacant shops in the area where
you seek a place through real estate agencies
and/or direct notification and provide a basis
of negotiations.
One of the most popular choices for locating
a franchise business is the owners of properties
that may have properties with the same speci-
fications as you consider for your purpose.
¾
Real estate agents, mall owners, and large
malls with abundant dead space can be among
your branch vendees.

¾
Gas stations and large chain stores are other
appropriate places for smart franchise start-
ups.
¾
There are always many bars and food shops in
the market, but new and successful franchises
will also come to the market. In recent years,
the growth of these new brands is related to
the focus on their end-users and the program
it has had for them. This brand could sell a
large number of branches by targeting vend-
ees who went there and eat sandwiches and
drinks and watched matches.
¾
On the corner of the space you supply the
products, point out that the individuals who
intend to launch a branch in that section can
contact you; this way, you remind customers
that they can also start a similar branch.
Smart Franchise
74

n) The Business Development
The business development means that your brand has
a maximum presence in a certain geographical area and
finds its place in the market across the whole region.
¾
One way to develop a business is to sell
branches in areas where you are not present
and to advertise and inform about your activ-
ities where you attend. This information can
prepare the situation for presence in other ar-
eas.
¾
To enter the franchise business marketing pro-
cedure, you need to provide a basic grounding
with local tools; that is, you can speak about
yourself as much as possible in that neigh-
borhood and popularize your business so that
people in that area can hear your name, see
your logo, and get to know the service models
you provide.
¾
If you are a supplier of specific services or
products, focus on it and advertise it. Some-
times companies display their services by
placing a container in the area. This way,
they display their capabilities and work re-
cords. This is a kind of introduction to de-
velop the business and give it a head start
in an area hoping it becomes a branch over
time.
The Business Development 75

¾
The next policy in business development is to
strengthen the supplier sector. At the begin-
ning of your career, because you are an am-
ateur, while suppliers attempt to make you
their customers, they insist on appearing so
high hat, too; therefore, your business devel-
opment sector will need to find new suppliers
over time and negotiate with current suppli-
ers to continue working with.
¾
The business development team must ana-
lyze the business. It must compare the sta-
tus of the business with the goals defined
in the program and determine your situa-
tion and clarify the changes required to be
made to the work or the parts that need to
be removed. Sometimes the analysis reveals
which service or product with what specifi-
cations is not attractive enough and wastes a
large amount of the branch time and mon-
ey. You can omit those services or products
or set an additional fee for them so that if
some people want to use them, they have to
pay more.
¾
Another aspect of business development is
to constantly study the prevalent issues and
rules of operation in the geographical areas
Smart Franchise

where your business is situated. For example,
if the municipality decides to start a business
in an area, identify it and attend. Suppose a
part is added to an urban area that did not
exist before, or it is decided to make a ma-
jor cultural move in an area of the city, then
your business development team should par-
ticipate in it and take full advantage of this
situation.
Therefore, identify the events in the geo-
graphic area considered and decide what
events to attend, where to sponsor, where to
advertise, and where to get a booth.

Another strategy for business development
that the marketing team needs to work on
is a special offers system, coupons, and pro-
motional items. These issues are addressed
in both the business plan and the market-
ing plan. In the primary investigations, at-
tempt to find out what competitors are doing
in the market, what coupons are available in
the market, and how the methods are imple-
mented.

In discussing the human resources of a franchise set,
there is a recruitment sector which you need to de-
fine the standards for. These standards include what
kind of people to hire, what you expect them to do
( job specification/description), and also determine
where you can easily hire the human resources.

You must plan how the manpower supply will be
prepared to provide manpower to the branch-
es and use them in the internal system. You will
have two groups of employees; the first involves
those who work in the head office like a regular
business, and the second contains those who work
in branches and directly deal with customers. The
second category’s responsibility is different so you
must define the main strategy which they must use
to operate.

Food courts are usually located in shopping malls,
but an interesting business that is currently set up
is the food court without a shopping center; that
is, when you enter the space, eight food brands are
working. This is one of the good business tricks;
that is, different models of food are gathered in one
place, and a food court is created that belongs to
them and does not depend on anywhere.

The business franchise has insurances, but each
branch has its own responsibility and it is expected
to buy its own insurance. Compensation for specif-
ic damages to the branch, such as fire, is in charge
of the branch owner and has nothing to do with the
franchise.

The franchise can help the business prosper and
grow, because people have to observe certain rules.
Because of that, the franchise can gain the trust of
the market very well. Instead of building 200 differ-
ent types of restaurant, people can do it under ten
different names with finer regularity, more money,
and easier management, and they do not need to be
in charge 24 hours a day.
