Excerpt from the Workbook 7 Step Franchise Business Plan:

A great franchise business plan has many uses. Perhaps you will need financing from a bank. 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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Overall rating:

(out of 103 reviews)

Here is a sampling of the reviews:

Jason and Holly 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.)
