By Chris

in topher Joseph Smith | http://Ez

The dream of owning your own business is a prominent one for many people; the allure of being your own boss and building success off your own back is simply too strong and every year, thousands of people give up their old job in favour of ‘going it alone’.

Of course, out of the thousands that set out in the world of startup business, only a few actually make it. The truth is that most markets - regardless of what you want to specialise in - are oversaturated already and the potential for true innovation is slim at best.

Which is where franchising comes in. Franchising essentially means running an arm of a particular business for someone else (known as the franchisor). The franchisee is granted to right the use the branding, business model and marketing of the established franchisor in exchange for a franchisee fee and a slice of the profits.

The franchisee is then left to their own devices, free to run their business on a day-to-day basis without interference. This makes franchising an extremely attractive prospect to those who want to run their own business, but don’t have that ‘killer idea’ required to establish a successful company from scratch.

You wouldn’t start a business based around something that bores you to tears, so why should choosing a franchise be any different? Running a franchise is an intensive business that requires a lot of dedication, so only choose opportunities that interest you on a personal AND financial level.

RESEARCH THE COMPANY THOROUGHLY So you’ve found a company that specialises in an area you’re passionate about and they have opportunities in your area. Perfect right? Well... not quite.

You see, a company will only present you with what they want you to see in order to tempt you into going into business with them. The well-packaged presentation they’ve put together on their website may be convincing, but it may not cover all the facts.

So it’s worth digging around for information from sources other than the franchisor themselves.

Look for news stories on the company - are they doing well financially? Have a look for blog posts from past franchisees and pay a visit to current ones; you might be surprised how much you can learn from someone who already works for the franchisor day-to-day.

BUDGET Budget should play a key factor in your franchise decision as overstretching yourself financially just to secure the business of your dreams can have severe implications further down the road. Set yourself a strict budget and stick to it, even if it does mean missing out on a good opportunity.

It’s also important to remember that the cost of a franchise goes beyond the initial franchise fee.

You’ll also need to factor aspects such as shop fittings, working costs and the initial cost of staff and products into your budget.

IS CH AN FR OD FO ST FA

In truth, there’s no such thing as the perfect franchise opportunity. Instead, what constitutes the perfect franchise opportunity differs from person

E

One issue many people who decide to go down the franchising route face is the sheer choice of potential franchises to open. There are thousands of companies out there, all offering up their franchise arm as THE perfect opportunity for a budding business owner.

PIZZA BUSINESS FRANCHISE - Make Steady Income Fast

By: Thomas Fiala If you live in any size city you will often times see the same thing, delivery drivers bringing hot and fresh pizza to many households. Some of these small kitchens don’t have elaborate dining rooms, while others are large scale operations that do more than delivery, but they all have one thing in common, they are making a great deal of money providing people with one of the best tasting foods in the world, pizza. If you have ever wanted to start a business and are not really keen on starting from scratch, don’t worry, you can look into getting into a pizza business franchise and make residual income from day one.

Before you can jump into any business, it’s important to understand a few things. For instance, you will first need to save money to start any sort of endeavor. If you started a business from scratch you would need to not only have a full fledged business plan, but you would need start up money either from a loan or from your savings. The same is true for when you purchase a franchise to run, you will need to have some sort of financial backing to get started. You could do it all on your own, procure a loan from a bank, or you could go into it with several partners and split the profit accordingly.

Whatever you decide, starting at any point in the game requires finances.

Another thing that you’ll have to deal with when you’re looking into a pizza business franchise is the competition that you have in your area. If you are in a large city, than you might be fine with competing with larger

chains or even the same chain, within a certain amount of space. There will be limitations to your delivery circle, and you might have to adhere to rules and regulations that are placed by the business corporate heads, but other than that, you will have to deal with competition. If you are in a small community, this might not be such a big factor, but it’s something to consider from the start.

If you have considered the aforementioned, and you’re ready to start moving forward, then it’s advised to consult with several different major companies about the cost associated with owning your own pizza business franchise. You don’t want to simply choose one company and assume that they are going to be thrilled with you and you’re going to be moving forward, you will need to be prepared to talk to several outlets. Pick your top 3 and set up meetings with whomever you need to speak to, and move forward from there.

Pizza is a universal language in many ways, and can bring you a great deal of income if run properly. Starting from nothing is rough, which is why many look at franchises to establish the name first, and through simply opening up for operation, cash flow can begin without the issues that small businesses face when first opening their doors. Remember, without finances, a look into competition, and a list of companies to talk to, you won’t be ready to invest in this type of opportunity.

Three Steps To Business Plan Success:

Vision, Value, & Volume

By Mark S A Smith

When putting together your business plan, focus on getting your vision clear, then identify how to create real, substantial value for your customer, and then figure out how to ramp up the volume to cash in on the first two steps. As an entrepreneur, direct all of your energy into these three areas and you will be a success. Get distracted by anything else and your going to lose focus. Read on to discover how you can create a killer business plan with these three simple steps.

Vision Get very, clear on the vision of what you wish to accomplish. The more precise, detailed, and complete the vision, the more likely that you’ll bring it to reality.

A big entrepreneurial mistake is trying to be all things to all people. There’s no need to boil the bathtub if you’re just making a cup of coffee. Define exactly who you are going to serve and exactly how you are going to make their life so much better that they will be compelled to trade cold, hard cash for your innovation. If you know exactly where they live and work, so much better.

Then sum up your vision in 50 words or less and create a seven word value statement.

For example: Fuzed is the only collaboration tool that connects people, information, and ideas so that teams rapidly innovate and synthesize breakthroughs in a time when staying on top of rapid change is becoming almost impossible.

Fuzed: Insight and innovation from ideas and information.

See how this tells the whole story in seconds. Now, you do it for your vision.

Value What value will you bring to them? The more value you can pack into your offering, the more you can charge and the more disruptive will be your innovation.

(Don’t Screw These Up) A big entrepreneurial mistake is not creating enough relevant value. The harsh reality today is that if your offering isn’t disruptive, it’s not going to make much of an impact.

For example, when Apple introduced the iPhone, it was totally disruptive to the cell phone market. And even though many enormous companies have tried to bring to market an iPhone killer, no one has been successful. Sure Android phones from multiple manufacturers have more unit market share, yet Apple reigns supreme in the only measurement that counts with entrepreneurs, revenue and margin.

The reason is that Apple brings real value to their customers by making things just work right.

How do you bring real value to your customers so that they refuse to buy from anyone else?

Volume Next step is to ramp up the volume. Without this, the most elegant vision creates no real value.

How can you create massive amounts of business based on the value that you’ve created when delivered to execute your vision for your customer?

What processes can you put into place to attract crowds of buyers willing to give you money right now?

Can you find several very large customers?

Or can you excite a crowd of people to want what you’ve got?

Creating volume is where most entrepreneurs get stuck. Sales and marketing don’t always connect with entrepreneurial insight and innovation. Yet the world will never beat a path to your door unless they know where to find you, understand why they should come your way, and drop everything to do it.

Stop tinkering with your vision and value and start finding people who so appreciate your product that they’ll by it in massive quantities.

Get Help Often, entrepreneurs need help with these steps. Use a coach to keep you focused on your vision, value, and volume. Find a team who can help you create the messaging and systems. Delegate to trusted people to execute where you’re weak. www.EzineArticles.com/7376374
