If you go to the
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, there is this game called
Whack-a-Mole. It's a table with 16 holes, and this little
mechanical mole sticks his head out of one of the holes for a
second. You whack it with a bat. He pops his head up,
and you whack him, and he pops up someplace else.
Engineering design is like playing Whack-a-Mole. You have a
problem sticking up over there. You go and whack it, and it
goes away. But have you really fixed it, or has it just moved
somewhere else? It's often hard to tell whether you've solved the
problem or moved the problem ... It's almost a truism that you
never actually find a perfect answer to a problem. You just
find the answer that has the least problems.
James Gosling,
inventor of Java

And the other half?
They are just as great!
... All in the 7 steps to creating your
franchise business plan.
Easy to download.
Easy to use.
And you will end up with a really great business plan!
Perhaps you will want to
convince a reluctant landlord that you are qualified, and very
capable of of making the business a success.
Perhaps you will need to
lease equipment, and need the franchise business plan to get a
better rate.
These are all very valid
reasons for creating a franchise business plan.
For those seeking SBA financing
for their franchise, be sure to check out the companies that
have been certified by SBA in advance. There are lots to choose
from. When I checked recently, I discovered more than a hundred,
with tires and pizza and printers and more. Getting loans to
finance any of the pre-certified franchise opportunities makes
life a lot easier.
THE STRONGEST ADVANTAGE TO
YOUR FRANCHISE BUSINESS PLAN
The franchisor will likely
offer scads of marketing information, statistics on average
return per square foot, product costs as percentage of sales,
and lots of stuff that most of us have never heard of. Take it
all. Digest every single bit that you can. When you walk in to
see your banker, you will then be very prepared to discuss this
business intelligently. Your franchise business plan will also
reflect that you have taken the time to do your homework.
THE BEST WAY TO SUCCEED IN
YOUR FRANCHISE BUSINESS PLAN
As with all businesses, go as
far as you can. If you can get architectural drawings for your
specific site to put into your franchise business plan, great.
If not, use the generic ones. Either way, make use of the
thousands upon thousands of dollars the franchisor has already
spent in marketing development.
And one real tip for
franchisees: Apprentice yourself out to a non-competing
location. Learn absolutely everything you can about the business
before you commit. You're going to be with these folks a long
time, so make it a good match. (And, if you do this, make sure
you make note of it in your franchise business plan.)
MAKING YOUR FRANCHISE
BUSINESS PLAN STAND OUT
You've got a real advantage
going into a banker with a franchise business plan: Most
franchises succeed. And bankers know that. Franchisors don't
want failure. It's bad for business.
So go in with the full support of the franchise behind you.
Use their logo in your
franchise business plan.
Promote their product in
your franchise business plan.
Detail everything that the
franchisor has done to help you identify your location and
your specific business, and there's probably a lot.
Show advertising drafts with
their logo prominent.
Include the franchise
application as an attachment to the franchise business plan.
They probably asked you for your life history. Fine. Let the
banker know you've been investigated already.
Getting approved by the
franchisor is often the hard part. Once you've got that in hand,
go into your bank, your franchise business plan in hand, with
full confidence of success.
Here's the Technical
Information for your 7 Step Franchise Business Plan:
You will receive 4 separate files for your
franchise business plan. They will all be in ONE downloadable,
zip file. The four files you will receive are:
A pdf file.Your Workbook. I hesitate to call it an "instruction book",
but it is stuffed with all the information you need to create a dynamic
franchise business plan, rapidly and easily. 90+ pages.
A Microsoft Word file.
Your Template.
This is the actual template that you
will use for the text of your franchise business plan. You can change it,
switch it, mess it up, or use it just as it is. Use all the formatting
tools in MS Word that you already know. 16 pages
A Microsoft Excel file.
Your Financials. This is the actual set of
financial summaries that you will use in your business plan. You can add,
delete, mess it up -- or format it -- with all the tools in MS Excel.
A pdf file.
Your sample franchise business
plan templates. Links
to over 400 sample business plans in hundreds of categories.
Many of these will adapt nicely as franchise business plans.
Take your pick!

"business plan package". That just isn't how we work.
p.p.s. -- Yes, there are lots and lots of "freebies".
Over 300 pages
worth. They are all on this website, at no cost at all.

Go ahead, get your 7-Step Franchise Business Plan now and start making your dream come true. No
matter what kind of retail store you have in mind, from aardvarks to
zithers, it can be yours.
We are
looking at three different franchises and we wanted to get an
idea of how easy (or how hard) it might be for us to get some
financing. We feel like we are headed in the right
direction now. We probably won't start our "real" business
plan for a couple of months yet, but we know much better what we
are looking for.
Merk
We were looking at a
franchiser who was giving us no help at all in financing.
So we got your book so we could do it ourselves. We have
now decided that we were looking at the wrong franchiser.
So it's back to the drawing board. (But we are holding
onto the book.)
Mejia Escondido
It is a
real tough choice: trust the franchisor, or trust
ourselves. Since we don't have a lot of experience in the
business, we are going to trust the franchisor. You were
right about their information being biased. We had to do a
lot of research on our own, but we are confident now that we are
headed in the right direction.
Ronny Yariv
It is too bad
that you don't recommend specific franchising companies.
We could have used a nudge in the right direction. But we
did use the SBA list that you provided, and it was very helpful.
We got our list of potential companies narrowed down pretty
quickly, and now we are building our business plan in earnest.
(Note: When you have used this item, please come back and let others know
how you did. Both plusses and negatives are welcome.)
