Just follow these 7 steps and you will be well on your way to franchise success.
1. Decide What Type of Franchise is Right for You
With thousands of franchise concepts available, you have an excellent chance of finding one that fits with your interests and purpose. For example, College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving’s mission has inspired many to franchise with us. Our purpose is to “Move the World” emotionally by eliminating stress for people who are moving or dealing with clutter, and by creating opportunities for entrepreneurs and hard workers who are eager to learn how to build a business.
2. Provide the Franchisor with Your Background Information
This isn’t as complicated as it sounds. Start by having a chat with the franchisor’s representative. Next, it will take just a few minutes to complete an application which details some very basic information. With College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving, this is not a contract – it’s just so we can determine if we are a good fit for you.
3. Conduct Due Diligence on the Franchisor
You will want to know as much about your franchisor as possible as you move further along in the process. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving provides you with our free, 15-page franchise report that provides additional details outlining what makes our franchise opportunity truly exceptional.
4. Explore at Close Range How the Franchisor Operates
To know first-hand how your franchisor can support your success, you have to see their business in action. Visit their headquarters so you can meet with top management, ask questions, see processes and understand day-to-day operations. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving hosts a Discovery Day for potential franchisees, so they have the opportunity to get a clean and balanced view of our world – information that’s necessary for you to make a solid, informed, and pressure-free decision.
5. Carefully Review Your Franchise Agreement
After you and your franchisor are certain that you are a match, you will likely receive a franchise agreement that will specify all of the terms of your partnership. With College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving, there is a two-week waiting period to sign it, so you have plenty of time to review it with your legal counsel.
6. Make Sure You Receive What You Need to Launch
Depending on your franchisor, you will need to receive access to company systems, marketing materials, and much more. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving provides a pre-opening checklist, access to training portals, and a support team that works with you to order trucks, obtain insurance, and get any licensing that is required in your area.
7. Plan Time for Training and Preparation
Your franchisor should also provide you with comprehensive training. College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving’s training for franchisees is a five-day program at our headquarters that includes a detailed review of the systems you will use to manage and grow your business and so much more. We also provide continuing support, both in person and virtually, because your success is important to us.
