PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE

FRANCHISING PROVIDES INCREASED SUPPORT IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY

ince March of 2020, the impact of COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on our lives and businesses. At press time, many businesses are closed or operating at a reduced capacity as Canadians practice physical distancing to help stop the spread of the virus’s second wave. This has led to much uncertainty, and unfortunately, business closures across the country. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel as we turn our focus to recovery. The franchise business model provides a strong opportunity for entrepreneurial Canadians to go into business, with much-needed support behind them. The foundational relationship between franchisees and franchisors, along with the established operating procedures and franchise system support, mean franchisees aren’t in business by themselves, even during times of crisis. The “Franchising Weathers the Economic Storm” article on page 26 explores this further, along with the factors that make franchising such a strong and resilient business model. The franchise business model has also played a big role in helping franchisees adapt in the face of challenges. On page 28, three franchise professionals explain the benefits of franchise ownership compared to independent business ownership, and the reasons why franchises are in a good position to quickly and successfully fill market gaps left by the economic downturn. In such an uncertain time, it’s essential to make the most informed investment decision possible as you start on your path to franchise ownership. The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) can help make your dreams of business ownership become a reality, and this Franchise Canada Directory is a great place to start. The CFA is the authoritative voice of franchising in Canada, and has been equipping entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools they need to find success for more than 50 years. This Directory contains more than 1,300 listings of franchise opportunities in Canada, from fresh and emerging concepts to established iconic brands in over 50 different categories. In addition to our member listings, the articles in the front of the Directory (pages 16 through 71) provide franchising fundamentals to help you get started. We share a wide range of background information, tips, and advice to help you gain the franchising knowledge you need to make the best possible investment decision.

6 Canadian Franchise Association

The easy-to-use listings (starting on page 75) are arranged alphabetically by category, and contain comprehensive information about each opportunity, including contact information, number of units, investment amounts, available territories, and more. The valuable information contained in these listings has been provided directly by the franchise systems and suppliers. It’s also important to call in the professionals to help ensure you’re making the right franchising decisions. This Directory also includes listings for CFA Franchise Support Services and Suppliers, who can play a pivotal role in helping to guide your franchising journey. This section of the Directory, starting on page 231, helps you connect with the services you’ll need to carefully complete the due diligence process. As you read through this Directory, note the CFA member logo that highlights the CFA’s many members. As members of the Association, these companies voluntarily pledge to promote excellence in franchising by upholding the CFA Code of Ethics (see page 10 for more details). Beyond this Directory, the CFA offers many other valuable resources. You can find educational articles, Franchise Canada Chats podcast episodes, and Franchise Canada TV videos on www.FranchiseCanada.Online. You can also connect with CFA member brands through the www.LookforaFranchise.ca online directory, Franchisor Spotlight webinars available on www.cfa.ca, and free Virtual Franchise Canada tradeshows. Also be sure to follow the CFA on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Canadian franchising is strong and resilient. The support systems built into the business model will continue to provide increased security for Canadian franchisees in 2021. We hope our Franchise Canada resources, including the tools and member information contained in this Directory, can help you make an informed business decision in this difficult time. While the world is currently filled with uncertainty, one thing is clear: with the right tools at your disposal, you can make your business dreams become reality through franchising.

DISRUPTING REAL ESTATE ONE ROUND SIGN AT A TIME WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE® Once upon a time, in a land called North America, there were real estate agents who earned large commissions from people who were buying and selling properties. It was a highly profitable (and monopolistic) era in which these agents lived. It was a great time, for them, as they earned billions of dollars in commissions every year.

One day, armed with a vision of something better for home sellers and the power of technology, PropertyGuys.com swooped in and designed a modern alternative to the traditional model - one that streamlined the process and empowered both buyers and sellers. To make the process more efficient they put the customer at the centre of the transaction - creating a flat-fee approach that typically saved the seller 10 times more than if they used an agent (and gave them far more control over the process). If you think the idea of transforming the real estate industry sounds like a fairy tale, then you’re probably never heard of Uber or Netflix. Meanwhile, PropertyGuys.com is growing quickly thanks to its franchise operators and the enthusiasm of thousands of users who have become raving fans.

SAY GOODBYE TO THE OLD WAY

“The traditional agent model has become unnecessary and way too expensive for the average homeowner,” says Ken LeBlanc, President and CEO of PropertyGuys.com. “We believe that homeowners work hard for their money. That’s why we are transforming every single piece of the real estate puzzle – putting the needs of buyers and sellers above everything else. When our customers are happy, our franchisees grow their businesses and our brand gets stronger - it’s a win-win-win.”

ADVERTORIAL

JOIN THE REAL ESTATE REVOLUTION As one of the fastest growing franchise systems in Canadian history, PropertyGuys.com is an exciting opportunity for investors looking to get involved in the real estate industry. Their proven system and training programs ensure franchisees have all the tools needed to operate a successful business.

Instead of charging commission (often 5-7 % of the final sale price), PropertyGuys.com franchisees collect an upfront flat marketing fee for their services. That flat fee is based strictly on the types of services that the seller selects. Which can range from online support for their private sale - to an end-to-end experience from a team of experts including pricing, showings, offers, and promotion on all of the most popular real estate platforms.

WHEN THE PARADIGM SHIFT IS COMPLETE, THE OPPORTUNITY WILL HAVE PASSED If imagining a world where the majority of real estate transactions happen without a listing agent seems implausible to you, consider this...

With an over 20-year track record of growth and success, the brand has established its staying power in the real estate industry, yet there is still work to be done. The timing could not be better for new entrepreneurs to get involved with the brand. PropertyGuys.com still has some exclusive franchise territories available in Canada (and beyond) for entrepreneurs who believe that the real estate industry can be transformed through value-driven packages, specialized service and innovative technology. Franchise owners don’t need a real estate license, but they do need to believe in the power of innovation and the huge upside obtained by helping disrupt real estate forever.

THE TIME IS NOW Uber understands it. Netflix nabbed it. PropertyGuys.com gets it. Do you? If you’re ready to stand out from the crowd, they want to hear from you!

Less than five years ago, there were still people waiting in line at Blockbuster on Saturday night with DVDs and an over-sized bag of popcorn in hand. Today, those iconic yellow and blue signs are only a memory. They gave up their market dominance to Netflix because they were unable to see (and adjust to) the vast potential of a new way before it was too late. PropertyGuys.com is at the forefront of the opportunity that has been opened up by technology and favourable regulatory changes. In the old agent-centric model, the customer sits on the sidelines in the dark, while the agent dabbles in the role of all experts - yet masters none. “We believe the real estate transaction isn’t complicated when you break up each task and place it in the hands of the most capable professional,” said PropertyGuys.com franchise owner, Shannon Gavin. “PropertyGuys.com uses a team approach instead of the ‘jack of all trades’ model. That means our customers benefit from the best experts in the real estate field. From a franchisee perspective, that means we don’t have to be all things. We focus on our expertise and rely on a combination of people and technology for the rest.” In the new real estate model, online engagement and connectivity put the seller at the hub and in control. In addition to connecting customers with its online private sale platform, PropertyGuys.com is ahead of the curve when it comes to social media, a tool that is typically not well-used by traditional agents. “Customer engagement is the cornerstone of everything we do,” says LeBlanc.

The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) Helping everyday Canadians realize the dream of building their own business through franchising What is the Canadian Franchise Association? Back in 1967, as Canada’s centennial was being celebrated, a group of franchise business owners recognized a need for a national umbrella organization committed to the growth, enhancement, promotion, and development of ethical franchising across the country. The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) was founded with this mission and principles and is now the only national trade association serving the franchise industry and the needs of franchisors, franchisees, and anyone considering opportunities in the franchise sector. The CFA is now the recognized authority on franchising in Canada, and represents members across the country, including iconic Canadian brands such as Pizza Pizza, M&M Food Market, and McDonald’s Canada. Our purpose: To help everyday Canadians realize the dream of building their own business The CFA’s mission is to amplify the understanding and power of franchising in Canada by advocating on the issues that impact this dream, connecting people with opportunities in franchising, and delivering learning opportunities that make the industry stronger. The CFA

produces the annual Franchise Canada Directory, and Franchise Canada magazine, considered the country’s most trusted franchise resources. The bi-monthly magazine is a digital publication, with each issue available as a flipbook on www.FranchiseCanada.Online. The annual directory is a print publication that is available on newsstands and in bookstores throughout the country. Prospective franchisees can also learn more about franchising through Franchise Canada E-News, a bimonthly digital newsletter; the Franchise Canada Chats podcast, now in its third season; and Franchise Canada TV, which features interviews and informational videos. The Association also offers Canada’s only tradeshows that exclusively feature CFA member franchise systems. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event has recently been promoted as the Virtual Franchise Canada Show, and is a fully virtual event featuring some of the biggest names in franchising, and focused on different regions of the country. The CFA’s Franchise Canada resources can be found at www.FranchiseCanada.Online. The CFA’s wealth of knowledge flows, in part, from its prominent role in the nation’s business community.

Leadership

We amplify the understanding and power of franchising in Canada by advocating on issues that impact the dream of building their business through franchising.

Opportunity

We help everyday Canadians realize the dream of building their own businesses and connect people with opportunities in franchising.

CFA members represent thousands of business outlets across the country. As a whole, the franchise industry employs almost two million people. About half of these employees work under the banners of hundreds of CFA member franchise systems. What can the CFA do for you? One of the CFA’s primary roles is to help prospective franchisees make the best decision when investing in a franchise by providing resources and education about franchising. The CFA’s websites (www.cfa.ca, www. LookforaFranchise.ca, and www.FranchiseCanada. Online) offer valuable information and resources about franchising, as well as detailed listings in its online member directories. Directories are separated into franchise systems and franchise support services providers (e.g. franchise lawyers, accountants, consultants, etc.). CFA members represent a diverse cross-section of franchise systems in Canada, ranging from very large, established operations to smaller regional concepts. When you deal with CFA members, you can be confident you’ll be treated fairly because all members must adhere to a strict Code of Ethics. Franchisors can become members only after they undergo a review process performed by a committee of their peers. Members join the CFA voluntarily, as franchise sys-

So Many Opportunities Made up of thousands of small businesses in every community from coast to coast, the franchising sector is the 12th largest contributor to the Canadian economy. The Canadian franchise industry is estimated to have almost 1,300 brands and more than 76,000 franchise locations across a variety of sectors.

tems are not obliged to belong to any trade organization. CFA members share the conviction that their commitment to excellence in franchising improves the industry as a whole for everyone involved, including franchisors, franchisees, suppliers, and customers. Realistically, however, what the Association can’t do is protect potential investors from making bad business decisions. The CFA does not have specific punitive powers to use against members if they violate the Association’s Code of Ethics. Members, however, may use the confidential, complimentary services of a third-party & neutral Ombudsman (available through www.cfa.ca) to help resolve disagreements between franchisors and franchisees. We fulfill our mission through our four brand pillars – leadership, trust, credibility, and opportunity. Through these pillars, we create a unified force that represents different elements coming together to create and grow as a multifaceted whole. Working under the motto of “Growing Together™,” we embrace the concept of growing your business with the support of the greater franchise community through CFA membership. This holds true to the concept of franchising – that franchisee and franchisor grow their businesses through partnership. Together, we all grow our businesses, our expertise, and our ability to advocate for a thriving future. While franchise concepts operating in the food service category dominate the industry, there’s more to franchising than just fast food. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Canadian neighbourhood devoid of a franchise business serving its residents. With franchise systems operating in more than 50 different sectors, Canadians from coast to coast are interacting with franchise systems daily, from coffee shops to cleaners and day cares to restaurants, hotels, and so much more, the franchise business model is an important part of Canadians’ day-to-day lives.

Why Choose a CFA Member? Investing in a franchise committed to excellence

or entrepreneurs looking to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves, franchising provides the opportunity to run a business and be your own boss, while being backed by an established system and brand. Taking the first step towards business ownership through franchising can be daunting. For a prospective franchisee, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the thousands of new and emerging franchise concepts available on the market. Whether you’re interacting with brands at the Franchise Canada Show or flipping through the pages of the annual Franchise Canada Directory listings, it’s abundantly clear that there’s no shortage of exciting franchising opportunities out there; it’s just a matter of finding the right fit for your goals. At the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA), we believe strongly that the franchise model is ultimately about people. It’s about everyday Canadians, working hand in hand within a franchisor-franchisee relationship to share success. Each one of our members is committed to this ideal.

Franchising 101: An Introduction to Franchising

ranchising is an attractive and powerful way for Canadians to make their business dreams become reality and achieve success as small business owners. Through the proven business concept and support provided by the franchisor, franchisees are able to be in business for themselves, but with the support and assistance of the franchisor, the advantage of the franchise system’s past success, and access to the knowledge and experience of a network of franchisee peers. Franchising is about sharing success. The success of a franchisee leads to the further success of the franchisor and the franchise system as a whole. When you invest in a franchise, you align yourself with a brand that may already enjoy established consumer awareness and loyalty in the Canadian marketplace. This instant brand recognition can bring many advantages, including a stronger position when applying for a business loan. As a franchisee, you’ll benefit from the license to use the franchise system’s proven branding, trademarks, and proprietary products and/or services. A franchise also provides you with the advantage of a tried-and-true system and an operations manual that fully explains how you’re to replicate the franchise’s system at your location. While it’s impossible to eliminate all risk, if you work and follow that system, you can reduce the risk of business failure and increase your likelihood of success. As a franchisee, you’re considered a small business owner, and it’s important for you to assume a leadership role in your business. By joining an already established system, you don’t have to invent the business from the ground up like you would as an independent business. The franchise system can save you time and money by keeping you up to date on your market. Through

the franchisor, you can stay on top of business trends, research and development, new marketing initiatives, and changes in consumer tastes or behaviours. Being a franchisee also means there is strength in numbers. Many franchise systems have an established supply chain and strong relationships with suppliers. By ordering your stock, supplies, and equipment through approved suppliers as a member of your franchise system, you may receive the benefit of preferential pricing or special delivery. Joining a franchise system also gives you a network of peers upon whose knowledge and experience you can draw. If you encounter an issue or have a question, your franchise system colleagues are just a phone call or email away. What are the key responsibilities of the franchisee? While system-specific responsibilities required of the franchisee will be outlined in the franchise agreement, there are a few key responsibilities that are generally required of the majority of franchisees. The franchisee should: • follow the franchisor’s standards, methods, procedures, techniques, and specifications to ensure consistency; • pay a fee (typically an initial franchisee fee and ongoing royalties) to the franchisor for the right to use the franchisor’s trademarks (brand) and business system; • take care of accounting, local marketing, staffing, and the other administrative aspects of operating a business; • invest their time, particularly during the start-up phase, by working hands-on in their business to fully understand the operational side of the franchise; and

Franchising Weathers the Economic Storm

The franchise business model is built to last through times of crisis BY LAUREN HUNEAULT

s we approach a new year in 2021, it seems like this one will be as unique and challenging as the last. With the world rolling out a long sought after COVID-19 vaccine, it may bring some recovery to the economic crisis in Canada and throughout the globe. As Canadians continue to practice “social distancing,” and non-essential companies are closed for a second time in late 2020, businesses are struggling, and only those that successfully adapt to the challenges presented by the pandemic will continue to thrive after this economic crisis is finally over. As of October 4, 2020, nearly nine million Canadians applied for the COVID-19 Emergency Response Benefit, which was put in place to help those who have lost their source of income as a result of the crisis. But it isn’t all doom and gloom. While the forecasts are currently bleak, there’s hope that clearer economic skies are ahead of us. One reason for this hope comes in the form of franchising. The resiliency of franchising While no one can predict the future, we can learn from the past. Globally, franchising has successfully weathered economic storms before, including the Great Recession of the late 2000s. According to Franchise Canada

26 Canadian Franchise Association

Directory listings, there was a 6.5 per cent increase in franchise and corporate locations in Canada, and a 23 per cent increase in franchise opportunities (brands) between 2008 and 2010. In addition, the 2010 Franchising New Zealand survey found that despite the recession, the total number of franchised units in the country increased by 5.3 per cent between 2009 and 2010. And, 24 per cent of those 2010 respondents had started franchising in the previous five years. While some franchise brands were undoubtedly hit hard during the Great Recession, others successfully expanded during this time. According to Forbes magazine, Subway experienced the most growth of franchise chains, adding close to 6,000 restaurants between 2008 and 2010. Commercial cleaning franchise Jani-King also added just over 4,500 locations in that same period. We can also take a closer look at what’s happening right now in Canada. In the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) webinar, “Emerge from COVID-19 with a Growth Plan: How to Build Your Franchisee Pipeline Right Now,” Reshift Media noted that “franchise ownership” online searches in the spring were just as strong as they were the previous April. More interestingly, they found that “self-employment” related searches were up 733 per cent, and “work for self” was up 525 per cent.

FRANCHISING WEATHERS THE ECONOMIC STORM This shows that entrepreneurial Canadians, many of whom are recently out of work, are choosing not to go back to the corporate world and instead are looking for ways to make their business dreams become reality. Franchising is a strong candidate for making that happen, even in tough economic times. A strong support network The general principles behind franchising make it a more resilient model. There is a tried-and-true system in place, with detailed operations that allow the business to be easily replicated in communities across the country. As a result, consumers recognize and are familiar with these franchise brands, and franchisees can rest assured knowing that the system is providing a relevant product or service to this consumer base. One of the many advantages of the franchise business model is that franchisees don’t have to go it alone. While franchisees are small business owners, they have the backing of a franchise system that can provide much-needed support during challenging times. While an individual franchisee may not have experience with this kind of crisis, the franchisor has likely navigated through turbulent times in the past and can use this insight to help its network of franchisees. As challenges arise, the franchise head office team not only has valuable knowledge to share with the network, but they also have the research, contacts, and resources they need to adapt and innovate their operations to meet the specific challenges, whether that’s changing a marketing strategy or updating the product offering. For example, if a food franchise needs to adapt by also offering grocery products to customers, it’s a lot

easier for the franchisor to determine the strategy and communicate it to individual franchisees than it is for a franchisee to test out a strategy while trying to keep the day-to-day business afloat. With franchising comes opportunity While there are many downfalls to an economic crisis, it can also bring opportunity. Affordable real estate is hard to find in a hot economy, but when the economic climate cools, more real estate can become available, and at a more affordable rate. This is especially important for new franchisees, who can focus more on building their business rather than worrying about being able to pay their rent during this pivotal first year. During an economic downturn, Canadians who have been hit hard by the tough times don’t have a lot of disposable income. The good news for franchisees is that franchises often provide mid-market goods that are still accessible to consumers when budgets are tight, including affordable food service and retail options. Further, franchises provide services that consumers will continue to need, from health care and cleaning services to haircare and health and fitness. Certain franchises also provide essential services, including shipping services and pet care, and remained open during the crisis. Better weather ahead These are tough times for Canadians, but better weather is coming. For those entrepreneurial Canadians who find themselves out of work or who are just ready to take the plunge into business ownership, franchising just might be the right business model to make those business dreams come true.

The Franchise Advantage Why franchised businesses can quickly and successfully fill market gaps in difficult economic times BY LAUREN HUNEAULT

here’s no question that Canadians are experiencing unprecedented challenges in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Months of closed doors or limited business have had a major impact on Canadian businesses, with owners forced to make difficult decisions, including some who have had to shutter their operations. While this is a trying time for Canadians, it’s also a time of opportunity for those looking to start their own business. As the economy begins to open again, franchised businesses are in an excellent position to do so quickly while filling any market gaps left in the wake of this economic crisis.

many advantages,” he explains. He points to the large labour pool that exists since many have lost their jobs, lowered interest rates, and increased lending from banks, along with government support programs and incentives as examples. He also notes that business closures will have an impact. “There are prime locations that will become available and it can be expected that landlords will be willing to negotiate favourable rents for prime locations,” he says, adding that “Vendors and suppliers have been hit by the crisis and may have pent-up inventory. New franchisees will be able to leverage the better pricing and terms that will be available.”

The time is right for franchising Joel Friedman, president, JSF Franchise Group, says the tough economic climate can lead to more people turning to franchising. “The realization that they have little or no job security is a real concern for people in corporate employment and they become highly motivated to control their destiny. Franchising will boom during these times,” he explains. He notes that he signed four new franchisees in the months following March 23, 2020, when everything shut down. “It was with people who took this time to look at what they wanted in their life and it was to be an owner.” Wayne Maillet, president of Franchise Specialists, says this is the perfect time to open a franchise. “As the economy grows stronger, franchising will play a part in the rebound of the economy as we get back to the new ‘normal.’ Opening a business post COVID-19 provides

The power of franchising in times of crisis Greg Windle, director, national industry programs at CIBC, says franchisees have advantages in an uncertain economic climate, including the built-in support that comes with the franchise business model. “A well-run franchise system thrives not only on the entrepreneurial spirit, business acumen, and local market knowledge of the franchisees but also on the support provided by the franchisor and the knowledge sharing of best practices amongst the network of franchisees,” he explains. Franchisor support, notes Windle, comes in the form of a trusted brand, sharing best practices, providing financial relief directly (i.e. financial aid programs) or indirectly (i.e. royalty relief), providing access to key financial partners and sources of funding, and providing information on government assistance programs. Franchisee-to-franchisee support comes in the form of

THE FRANCHISE ADVANTAGE increased availability of information and the sharing of best practices. “All of these benefits of being a part of a franchise system give the franchising model great potential to accelerate the path to normalcy for a franchisee emerging from an economic downturn when compared to an independent, non-franchised competitor,” explains Windle. The franchise advantage While an individual owner may not have experience with economic downturns or be able to quickly roll out a new strategy required to adapt to challenges, the benefit of being part of a franchise system is having access to that experience and those tools. “Successful franchise business owners are being innovative to continue to succeed, pivoting to adapt to the new normal. One of my clients is having weekly conference calls with all the franchisees who are sharing what they are doing to adapt, change, and continue to grow during these unprecedented times,” explains Maillet. “As a new business owner, you can capitalize on the experience of others who are in the same business as you, facing the same challenges. The alternative is being in business on your own and having to adapt and change based on trial and error.” Friedman notes some additional advantages to joining a franchise system instead of going it alone, including initial and ongoing training and the higher success rates of franchises versus start-up businesses. He also points out that you may find it easier to secure financing for a franchise and it may also cost less to buy a franchise than to start your own business of the same type. “It will be much easier – and less expensive – to attract customers with a brand that’s established,” he adds. “You’ll also benefit from any national advertising campaigns that your franchisor is running, and other franchisees can offer up their experience and suggestions. You have operational systems and processes that can be standardized to provide a consistent product or service by all franchisees. You have many minds working at head office that can change direction to go with the trends and times.” Mohammed Jehangir, director, packaged loans & strategic partnerships, CIBC, says franchisees also have an advantage when it comes to financing. “All other things being equal, franchise business owners with a track record of business success and strong franchisor backing do have quicker/easier access to business financing. While franchisors do not typically provide guarantees to financial institutions for the liabilities of their franchisees, financial institutions take comfort in knowing that there is another party to any lending agreement that has a substantial stake in the success of its client,” he explains, adding that that banks typically offer a suite of

lending solutions to franchisee clients, from direct provision of operating lines and term loans to federal government-backed lending solutions. “New independent business owners with a three-year historical track record of financial success are in most circumstances going to have to rely on personal resources and personal liability lending sources to fund their startup business,” notes Jehangir. “New franchisees, on the other hand, have been vetted and qualified by a franchisor for both business aptitude and personal net worth. These two things, combined with the knowledge a lender will have as to what support that the franchisor will provide going forward to ensure that the franchisee is successful, may be the difference between qualifying for bank financing or not.” Words of wisdom from the experts Friedman emphasizes the importance of undertaking a thorough self-evaluation before you make a franchise investment decision, regardless of the economic climate. “You need to look at yourself and understand if you are ready to take the risk. If you’re able to follow a system, then franchising is for you. Every good franchisee I met in my career may not have always agreed with the policies and system, but they still always followed them,” he advises. “You need to choose the right franchise – buy a franchise that you will enjoy not based solely on the bottom line.” Windle and Jehangir from CIBC encourage those considering franchising to cover all their bases. “First, do your research on what franchise systems were performing well pre-COVID and industries that are likely to rebound quickly. Second, make sure you have substantial personal liquidity and that you are prepared to use it to support your new business, as there will be more uncertainty going forward,” they advise. “Explore the support the franchisor has provided to their franchisees during the pandemic and carry out a thorough review of the franchise agreement with a franchise lawyer to ensure the clauses provide the necessary protection should there be another wave of the virus or similar situation in the future.” “Finally,” they add, “be patient. In this period of uncertainty, the road to success may be less clear, but those who are well-capitalized, have a plan, and stick to it will emerge from the period of uncertainty as strong players moving forward.” “Take advantage of the benefits provided by a post COVID-19 business environment,” adds Maillet. “Do your homework and find a franchisor that is providing a high level of support and is adapting to the new marketplace. Have the confidence of knowing that the pandemic will come to an end. Now is a great time to explore franchise opportunities.”

10 REASONS TO BECOME A FRANCHISEE

franchise provides you with the advantage of a tried-and-true system and an operations manual that fully explains how you’re to replicate the franchise’s system at your location. While it’s impossible to eliminate all risk, if you work and follow that system, you can reduce the risk of business failure and increase your likelihood of success. Each year, thousands of people across Canada invest in franchise opportunities for a multitude of personal, financial, and vocational reasons. Here, we give you 10 of the many benefits that becoming a franchisee can bring. 1. NO ‘REINVENTION OF THE WHEEL’ REQUIRED A franchise prides itself on the system that it has developed and tested over time. When you invest in a franchise, you gain access to and use of its operations systems, products/services, logos, and more. If you were starting your own independent business, the onus would be solidly on you to figure out all the aspects of the business, including what works, and what doesn’t.

30 Canadian Franchise Association

With a franchise, you’ll have the road map to recreate the brand’s success at your location – providing you follow it to the letter.

2. TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS A good franchisor will have already secured the trademarks and patents related to its brand. Franchisees are then licensed to use the franchise’s branding, trademarks and proprietary products, services, recipes, etc. This can save you time and money during the start-up process, as there will be no need for you to go through the legal and governmental processes to secure the appropriate rights. You can also rest assured that your rights to make use of your brand’s trademarks and patents are enshrined in your franchise agreement.

3. TERRITORY RIGHTS In most cases, you, as a franchisee, will be awarded an exclusive territory, giving you exclusive rights to offer your product or service within your designated area.

www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online

10 REASONS TO BECOME A FRANCHISEE The territory is designed to reduce competition, and can vary in size and scope. (A territory can be small, like a specific shopping centre, or large, like a geographic region.) Your territorial rights should be set out in and protected by your franchise agreement.

4. START-UP COSTS ESTIMATED In an independent business, you would be charting new waters. With a franchise, others have gone before you and can provide you with an example of what to expect in terms of start-up costs. Though each franchisee’s experience can vary and there’s always the possibility of unexpected or unforeseen expenses, your franchisor should be able to provide you with start-up cost estimates that are specific to the system.

5. FRANCHISOR SUPPORT AND TRAINING As a franchise system requires consistency in quality and service from location to location, most systems will train new franchisees on the basics of operating their location. The duration, breadth, and depth of the initial training may vary by system, but most will offer education on aspects such as operational procedures, accounting, marketing, computer systems, and more.

6. CONSUMER AWARENESS Any business that opens in a new area, be it a franchise or an independent business, would expect to have to conduct local marketing initiatives to introduce the business to local consumers. A franchise, however, can bring with it pre-existing consumer awareness; though the business may be new to the area, potential customers may already be familiar with the brand, whether through other locations or through its regional or national marketing. While local marketing and community outreach will usually factor into your franchise location’s marketing mix, having an established base of consumers who have experience with your brand can give you a leg up. A brand’s history of success may also give you an advantage when applying to a financial institution for a business loan to finance your location.

7. STRENGTH IN NUMBERS Another advantage of a franchise system is working with suppliers and other merchants that have already been vetted for quality, pricing, reliability, and consistency. As a member of a growing franchise network with group purchasing power, you can gain immediate access to established relationships with vendors and may even enjoy perks such as preferred pricing or special delivery.

email away. If you’re experiencing an issue or challenge with your business, chances are there are other franchisees in your system who have encountered the same or a similar issue, and who will have firsthand advice for overcoming it. Some franchise systems have more formalized ways for franchisees to interact, such as online forums, franchisee advisory councils, or franchisee meetings and conventions.

9 . RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Through the franchisor, franchisees can be kept up to date on business trends and consumer tastes and behaviours. They can also benefit from their system’s research and development initiatives for things such as new products and services, technology, and marketing. With the franchisor looking after this side of things, franchisees can focus on the day-to-day operation of their location while knowing that they will still be on the leading edge in their industry and marketplace.

10. SMALL BUSINESS OWNERSHIP In addition to the reasons already mentioned, don’t forget that you’ll also be a small business owner, operating your own business with the brand and support of the franchisor backing you up. As the saying goes, in franchising you’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

EXPLORE, INVESTIGATE, AND EVALUATE As wonderful as these reasons are (and there are more that could be added to this list), all these advantages may be for nought if a prospective franchisee doesn’t fully investigate the franchise system before signing on. Franchising is a business model that brings with it many benefits and challenges, so it’s important to make sure you have all the facts and information available before taking the plunge. For more on the franchise investigation process and conducting proper due diligence, visit www.FranchiseCanada.Online.

8. PEER NETWORK AND SUPPORT Being part of a franchise system also means you have a pool of knowledgeable peers who are just a phone call or

9 Rules for Finding Your Optimum Franchise

ith so many franchise opportunities available in Canada, it can be overwhelming to try to pinpoint the franchise brand that will allow you to make your dreams of business ownership become reality. That’s where the experts come in. At the Franchise Canada Show in Toronto in February 2020, Gary Prenevost, franchise consultant and presi dent of FranNet of Southern Ontario and Eastern Can ada, outlined his top nine rules to help prospective franchisees find the right franchise match. Here, we share the highlights from his presentation to help you make the best possible franchise investment decision. RULE #1: Know Thyself! Before you get too far into the research process, it’s important to undertake a self evaluation, so you have a better understanding of your skills, interests, resources, and circumstances. You should ask yourself: • W hat types of work do you excel at, love to do, and that you want in your business? • W hat types of work do you dislike doing that you don’t want to do? You should also take stock of your financial resources, including what initial investment you can make, the business working capital you’ll need to break even, and the personal working capital you’ll need to break even (the point where revenues are high enough to cover operating expenses). It’s also important to examine the ‘why’ of your franchise plan; the lifestyle you want and how you plan to get there. What financial and lifestyle goals are you trying to solve, that can’t be solved through corporate employment? RULE #2: Ride Only One Horse! The first 12 months of business ownership are critical, and it’s during this time that the business will need the most from you. There will be a steep learning curve in the first year, where you’ll learn: the franchisor’s systems and processes; how to market your business; who your

32 Canadian Franchise Association

customers are (and aren’t); how to hire, train, coach, and manage staff; how to manage inventory and schedules; how to manage revenue and expenses; and the difference between profit and cash flow. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll also be learning how to manage your work-life balance throughout this ‘sacrificial’ year that will be devoted to getting your business up and running. During this time, you’ll need to be completely focused on your business, and won’t be able to be distracted by other major commitments, including any other part-time work. RULE #3: Avoid “Shiny Things” Don’t get ‘seduced’ by the opportunity and make a decision too quickly, or that isn’t right for you: just because others have found success with this opportunity doesn’t automatically mean that you will, too. If the following are true in your case, you need to slow down and do more research: • You’ve only talked to the franchisor and are excited about the concept • You want to buy an existing franchise and are only looking at that unit’s performance • It looks like a good concept, but you can’t substantiate your income goals with existing franchisees It’s imperative that you research, research, research, and investigate before investing! Remember, it’s totally normal to be afraid of failure as you get started. You can manage and reduce this fear, however, by doing your research and making fact-based decisions. You can’t allow fear to drive your decisions; don’t make judgments based on your perceptions or any uneducated opinions. Make sure you have the facts! Gary’s franchise success formula: “A”: The franchisor’s systems and processes “B”: The franchisor’s initial AND ongoing training and coaching “C”: Your strongest transferable skills “D”: Your passion for this type of work “E”: Degree of financial and lifestyle success AxBxCxD=E

www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online

9 RULES FOR FINDING YOUR OPTIMUM FRANCHISE RULE #4: “Date” a Little, Not a Lot! The search for business “love” is complex and takes time. Passion is an essential component of franchise success, but it’s the passion for the types of work that drives success, not a passion for the product. When you meet your franchise match, you’ll have: •C onviction for the value proposition of the product or “solution suite” (not just loving the product) •C onfidence in the franchisor’s ability to support you through launch, as well as ongoing support •C ulture fit with franchisor •C ulture fit with the majority of the franchisee base You need to avoid the trap of making an emotionally charged decision, and then trying to justify that decision logically thereafter. You also shouldn’t immediately put all your eggs in one basket. You need to see what else is out there before you commit to one franchise, so investigate multiple concepts at the same time to ensure you’re not missing out on an opportunity that could be a better match. RULE #5: Do Some “Dancing” Before you make your investment decision, you need to talk to at least eight to 10 existing franchisees to learn more about their experience with the system. You can’t, however, just talk to the top-performing franchisees: one third of calls should be to those top performers, while one third should be to middle performers and the last third should be to unhappy franchisees. Through these conversations, it’s important to get their perspectives on their relationship with the franchisor, what it takes to drive success, and what a day, a week, and a month in the life look like as a franchisee in this system. Once you’ve carried out this validation process, you need to ask yourself: Can I do it? Will I do it? RULE #6: “Fall in Love” Before you move forward with your decision, you need to make sure that the logical and emotional components are aligned. Logical components: •F inancially affordable •C an enable you to meet your financial goals •G oals can be achieved in the timeline you need •T he business can run effectively in the weekly time available Emotional Components •Y ou love the work (critical roles) it takes to drive success •Y ou have conviction in the value proposition (not just love of the product)

• You like, trust, and respect the franchisor’s leadership team • You like and relate to most of the franchisees you spoke with RULE #7: “Meet the Parents” Don’t just base your decision on the franchise salesperson; you also need to meet with as many members of the franchise team as possible to get a more complete picture of what it will be like to join the brand. You should attend a Discovery Day, where you’ll meet the leadership team, along with the training and support team. Through this day at the franchisor’s head office, you’ll also be able to assess the infrastructure they have in place and be better able to determine if the culture of the company fits well with your expectations and needs. All decision-makers should attend this Discovery Day, as this is where the final negotiations will take place. Throughout this process, remember that you’re looking for reasons why you should say ‘no’ to this opportunity, and hoping that you don’t find any. You won’t be making a final decision while you’re there – you’ll be able to return home and take any final considerations into account before signing the franchise agreement. This decision is usually made within five to seven days after attending the Discovery Day. RULE #8: “Prenuptial Review” It’s essential that you enlist the help of franchise professionals in reviewing all documentation from the franchise, including the disclosure document and overall franchise agreement. You need to work with a franchise lawyer, not a regular business lawyer, because they have an in-depth understanding of franchise law, and will be able to advise you on: • your rights and obligations • the franchisor’s rights and obligations • a ny legal deficiencies in the disclosure document • negotiation recommendations RULE #9: “Get Married” Signing a franchise agreement means that you’re entering a “business marriage” with the franchisor. This is a longterm relationship that involves a lot of work from both parties, with multiple options for renewing the agreement in the future. You wouldn’t enter into a personal marriage without being one hundred per cent certain that you were marrying the right partner, so don’t sign your franchise agreement without doing your research and ensuring that you feel completely confident in your business future.

Business Plan and Financial Management Basics

egardless of the franchise opportunity you choose to pursue, you need to map out your path to business success before getting started. By establishing a business plan, you’re signalling to lenders, and the franchise system, that you’ve established and understand the tools you need to succeed. You’re ready to work hard and do what it takes to make your business dreams become a reality. At the Franchise Canada Show in Calgary in January 2020, John Leavitt, a partner at BDO, shared information that prospective franchisees need to establish a strong business plan and kick-start their franchising careers. As the national franchise industry leader at BDO, Leavitt has extensive experience working in the franchise industry, helping clients with their accounting, tax, and advisory needs. Here, Leavitt shares what you need to know as you look to build the business plan that will put you on the path to franchising success. Who should write the business plan? When you realized that your bank requires a business plan to provide you with financing options, your immediate thought was likely that you don’t know where to begin. You may be tempted to find someone to do this for

you, but ultimately, this responsibility lies with you. You can seek assistance from franchise professionals, but you need to understand and present what your plans are for the business, rather than someone else’s. Remember, you may need to build a business plan because the bank has asked for one. It’s important to do so because you want to map out and ensure your business is going to succeed. This is an important part of the due diligence process that will improve your chances for building a profitable franchise business. So, what needs to be included in your business plan? YOUR BUSINESS PLAN 1. Executive summary The executive summary should: • describe the franchise you intend to purchase • include the background and track record of the franchisor and other existing franchisees • include a background of your products and services, while identifying your core market If you’re looking to join an established franchise, you’ll likely want to focus on that. If it’s a newer franchise system, you should focus on the market trends and opportunity available.

BUSINESS PLAN AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT BASICS 2. Management team profile This is the most important part of a business plan for many lenders. The management team profile should: • describe your skills and experience •e xplain why you’re suited to own and operate this franchise • i nclude the same information for any other members of your management team This is the place to highlight any attributes that make you particularly suited for this franchise, and to share any details about any previous business success. The more the lender believes in you, the more likely they are to provide the financing you need. 3. Description of products and services The description of your products or services should include: • featured benefits •e xplanation of how your product or service differs from those of your competitors •o utline how you will deliver these products and services at ground level Here you should provide the specific details about the product or service that your franchise will be providing, along with what sets your offering apart from others in the market. 4. Core market information This section should: • describe your core market sector • outline your current competitors and future prospects • itemize strengths and how you will use them • i temize weaknesses and how you will address and strengthen them • estimate the market share you plan to achieve • describe your existing customer base While the bank will want this information, it’s also important for you to have the answers to the following questions: Who’s your competition? What do they do well? What do they not do well? How are you going to stand out? Is your market trending up or down? 5. Description of operations The description of operations should: • describe the premises where you will operate •e xplain how you will produce your products or services • r efer to location, property, facilities, leases, employees, insurance, technology, equipment, and suppliers These are all crucial details that need to be determined before you get started. Location can be a particularly important one, and if this is the case for you, you

Cash flow forecasting: A key tool for the business plan and beyond The base of a cash flow forecast is the anticipated income and expenses of the franchise. If you’re purchasing a new franchise location, you can determine the expected revenues and costs by doing your research, including talking to the franchisor and other franchisees in the system. Once you start to get a picture of the numbers, you can do a sensitivity analysis, wherein you carry out multiple cash flow scenarios: one based on high sales, one based on low sales, and one in the middle. This helps you determine what targets you need to hit and what sales are required for you to make vs. lose money. Along with a complete accounting of cash requirements for the franchise, identify the sources of funding, as well as the relevant financing terms. •F inancing for most new franchise companies comes from the owners, supplemented by friends and family members, along with some bank financing. Investors or lenders expect owners to personally assume some of the risk with a solid self-financed capital base of 30 per cent to 50 per cent of the total debt. •T o secure the funds, lenders may require a second-charge mortgage on residential property or personal guarantees up to the maximum amount of the loan. This points out the importance of reducing the risk of undercapitalization, and why the business plan should detail the amount of funding required, how the funds will be used, and when investors and lenders can expect a return on their investment.

Franchise Canada Directory 2021 35

BUSINESS PLAN AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT BASICS should provide as many details as you can about your location and the role it will play in your success. 6. Other supporting documents Other supporting documents to include are: • your resume, and those of the key members of your management team • job descriptions • credit reports • letters of reference • letters of intent • leases/contracts and other legal documents, as they pertain to the franchise you are purchasing 7. Financial information Most businesses fail because they run out of cash. If you don’t want to follow suit, you need to make sure that you complete a thorough financial analysis to ensure that you have a viable plan based on reasonable assumptions. This is not only for your own sake, but also because the bank will need to have total confidence to move forward, and they’ll find that with reasonable financial forecasts that show how you’re going to become profitable.

Your financial advisor can be particularly helpful with preparing and itemizing this part of your business plan. The financial section should: • address the financial potential viability of the business • include monthly budget and cash flow projections/ analysis • describe your current financial situation • include a personal net worth statement that lists all of your personal assets and liabilities The financial section needs to show that your business is viable, which means that it’s going to be profitable. It should include cash flow projections (see sidebar) and information about your financial situation. Some terms that will come up as you complete the financial section are: Pro forma financial statements (including balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement) should be prepared for the short term (monthly statements for 12 months) and long term (three to five years; quarterly for the first year). These should be based on realistic assumptions to account for the typical delays and challenges experienced by every business start-up.

BUSINESS PLAN AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT BASICS Breakeven analysis that demonstrates what the company must sell to cover costs. Relevant financial ratios that serve as benchmarks for management to monitor the financial performance of the overall franchise and that of individual franchisees. These ratios will be used to identify both performance strengths, as well as emerging problems that could threaten the health of individual franchisees or of the entire franchise system. When purchasing a franchise system, the key costs that should be considered in the financial section of the business plan include: • legal fees •a ccounting fees to prepare the appropriate financial projections •m arketing costs including plans, website, print materials, tradeshows, etc. • inventory purchases • land and/or building and equipment • staff •w orking capital reserves to cover operating losses until the business is capable of generating sufficient revenue

• monthly overhead for six to 12 months • personal living expenses for six to 12 months • financing costs It’s important to remember that it often takes months for income to come in regularly. This means it’s essential to have adequate capitalization to reduce the risk of franchise failure. Your business plan should include a comprehensive section on financial requirements, including detailed estimates of all anticipated start-up costs until the projected breakeven point. The bottom line Ultimately, your business plan should assure investors that: • there is a market for your products or services • you and your management team are capable • you have the necessary physical and financial resources • you know where you’re going, and how you’re going to get there • you’re able to provide appropriate security • most importantly, that the franchise you’re buying is financially viable and that you can repay the loan!

Franchise Financing Fundamentals

hen you’re investigating the wide range of franchise opportunities available, it’s easy to get caught up in your search. With so many new concepts and exciting brands to explore, the possibilities can seem endless. But before you delve too far into your research, remember that you need to consider the cost involved. It’s important to know your financial capabilities and limitations before you get started so you can set realistic expectations for your franchising future. Here are some of the important financial questions you need to address so you can make your franchise dreams become reality. Can I afford this? This is one of the most important questions you need to ask before you get started. It’s crucial that you can not only afford the total cost of the franchise, but also that you have a cash buffer. The franchisor can provide you with a summary of the typical costs required to open the franchise. Take a good look at these costs and make sure that once you pay the franchise fee, purchase or lease equipment, order initial inventory, and take care of any other start-up costs, you still have money left over. You need to ask yourself whether you have the funds to buy a franchise and support yourself and your fam-

ily during the critical start-up period. A common reason why new franchisees might fail is because they didn’t have enough money going into the franchise. If you put every cent you have into acquiring the franchise, you won’t have the additional funds needed to support yourself during this time. A good cushion would include about three to six months of personal expenses, enough to cover living costs – rent or other home payments, food, and other bills. You should have a complete picture of your financial situation at the ready, including a personal net worth statement, personal tax assessments for the most recent two years, and your credit rating, to find a franchise with the right financial fit. Where is the money? Once you’ve gathered this information, you need to delve into the details of your assets. Many franchisors and banks have requirements for the unencumbered equity a franchisee needs to have. Unencumbered equity is any cash you have that isn’t tied up in any way and doesn’t need to be repaid to anyone else. Most franchisees will finance their franchises with a combination of equity (either personal equity invested by the franchisee or outside equity obtained by selling partial ownership to investors) and debt (loans). The

www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online

FRANCHISE FINANCING FUNDAMENTALS amount of personal funds you’ll be required to contribute is usually based on a percentage of the total cost of the investment. Typically, between 30 and 50 per cent of the investment should be your unencumbered equity. Remember, taking on too much debt can be detrimental, because you need to be able to focus on growing your business and not on making debt payments. What are lenders looking for? Once you sort out how much equity you’ll be supplying and how much debt you’re prepared to take on, you’ll need to approach a bank to help with the financing. A solid business plan is a major asset in securing financing. It helps you determine what financing you need, and how you’ll pay it back. A well-thought-out business plan should cover all the questions your banker might have about your franchise business and how it will operate. A business plan consists of a business model and a financial plan. The business model will outline the qualities of your business – the customers, the industry, the competition, and your qualifications. It should also identify any weaknesses and explain how you plan to overcome them. The financial plan should include a projected balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. It should also answer any “what if...?” questions: what if sales drop by 25 per cent? What if they increase by 50 per cent? While there are many business plan templates available, you should put your plan together and then consult with others, such as an accountant and existing franchisees in the system, to ensure the financial aspects are realistic and accurate. To learn more about business plans, check out the Business Plans and Financial Management Basics article on FranchiseCanada.Online.

How can I improve my chances of securing financing? Once you have a full understanding of your personal financials and financing requirements and have crafted a great business plan, there are a few things you can do to help secure that loan when you meet with your lender: •E stablish a good relationship with the banker. Approach the same bank you use personally or find out whether your franchise system already has banking relationships in place and can give you an introduction. •B e prepared to answer any questions the lender might have during your meetings. Be open and honest. Know all the information contained in your business plan in detail and be ready to support your assumptions. •P resent yourself well and dress professionally when meeting with your lender. •P lan ahead and approach your bank as early as possible. Even with an amazing business plan, if you leave financing to the last minute, the deal might not get completed. This can also indicate a lack of organization and preparedness on your part. • Offer a resume of your previous experience. Even if your background isn’t in franchising or the industry in which you’ll be operating your franchise, showing a history of success can help.

What are some unexpected costs I might encounter? Though you’ll try to account for all expenses in your franchise investment process, inevitably there are things that may come up depending on your exact circumstances. While it’s important to focus on the hard costs, including the location and equipment, you can’t forget about the soft costs involved. These include financing costs (interest on loans); working capital to use until the business breaks even; security deposits (paid to utility companies, for example); professional fees to retain lawyers, accountants, and others; and any required licences, permits, insurance, and training costs. You should plan ahead so you’re not strapped for cash a few months into your venture. These costs should be included in your business plan, so you can ensure that you find the funds to cover them.

5 Things Smart Franchisees Know about Support Services

When and why you should call in the pros during your franchise search

uring the franchise investment process, there will be instances where you, as a prospective franchisee, will want to rely solely on yourself. You’ll want to base your decision on whether (or not) to invest in a franchise opportunity, in part, on things only you will know or feel – your research, your conversations with the franchise system’s staff and franchisees, how well it fits with your goals and aptitude, and maybe even the ‘gut feeling’ you have about the opportunity. But there are a few points along the path to becoming a franchisee where it’s usually recommended that you not go it alone. Here are some of the scenarios in which the best course of action may be for you call in a franchise professional to assist. SCENARIO 1: Identifying which franchise will suit you best There are many franchise opportunities available, so figuring out your franchise fit may seem like a huge undertaking. Franchise consultants can help you to identify your unique mix of skills, talents, and experience, as well as how those may translate in a franchise environment. They can also help you pinpoint what your ideal franchise would look like and sort out questions to ask during the investigation process that will bring you closer to it. SCENARIO 2: Figuring out how much money you have to invest In addition to finding a franchise that fits your goals and skills, you also need to know if the opportunity fits

your financial capabilities. An accountant who is wellversed in franchising can help you figure out your net worth, assets, and obligations. He or she can also provide advice and guidance on creating a business plan, which summarizes your current and projected finances for your venture, as well as how you will set up and operate your business. Not only is this a great way to map out your plans for your franchise, it’s also an essential document that potential lenders will want to look at when you approach them about securing further financing for your franchise venture. SCENARIO 3: Securing more money to invest Once you know your net worth and have calculated how much money you have available to invest in your franchise, you may need additional funds to finance your new business. Many franchisees require financing from a business lender to combine with the personal funds they will be investing. A banker with a background in franchise financing can help you select the banking products and services that will support your franchise as you open and grow your business, including business loans, lines of credit, and business accounts. SCENARIO 4: Deciphering disclosure documents A franchise disclosure document is a summary of information on the franchise system. This can include items such as background on the franchisor and its officers;

www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online

5 THINGS SMART FRANCHISEES KNOW ABOUT SUPPORT SERVICES fees, estimated costs, and total required investment; and the franchise agreement, which will outline the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both the franchisor and franchisee. In other words, understanding the information contained in the disclosure document is a vital part of the franchise due diligence process. An experienced franchise lawyer will be able to guide you through the document, help you in understanding the material it contains, and, as he or she will have reviewed many similar files, will be able to spot anything that is out of the ordinary, a possible cause for concern, or items that may be open to negotiation. SCENARIO 5: Protecting your new franchise location As a franchisee, your franchise system can train you for the regular, day-to-day operations of the concept. A good franchisee is also equipped to handle the unexpected – the kinds of events or situations that you hope never occur. Luckily, there are ways to mitigate some of these types of risk. A business risk management plan will usually include a business insurance package. There is a wide range of policies, from more general ones that the majority of businesses may need to those that are spe-

cific to an industry, geographic area, sector, customer profile, etc. An experienced insurance broker who is aware of the needs of a franchise business will be able to assist you in putting together an insurance package that best protects your business. While it’s a good general starting point, this is not an exhaustive list of the experts you may wish to consult as you investigate franchises and start your franchise venture. As you grow your business, you may find the need or have opportunity to seek further advice from experts you’ve consulted previously and/or add other franchise professionals to your support team. An important point to keep in mind – though you may be tempted to get legal advice from your cousin who is a personal injury lawyer or ask your neighbour who works in accounts receivable for accounting guidance, resist that impulse. When it comes to your franchise business, it’s always better to get help from professionals who are not only legal, accounting, banking, or insurance experts, but also familiar with the ins and outs of the franchise business model. Working with specialized support can save you considerable time, money, and trouble on your path to franchise success.

SUCCESS STORIES: The Faces of Canadian Franchising Meet some of the thriving franchisees who have achieved success with the franchise model

Nadim Hirjee, Edo Japan When he was growing up, Nadim Hirjee’s parents used to take him for a bite to eat after swimming lessons at the local mall food court. “We always ate at Edo Japan as a family,” he says, and that experience influenced his decision to own an Edo Japan franchise of his own as an adult. Edo Japan serves freshly made Teppan-style teriyaki meals with a signature sauce. The concept was started in Calgary by a Japanese Buddhist minister who left the organization, but his original vision of serving high-quality and healthy traditional Teppan-style meals continues. The company began franchising in Alberta in 1981, and now has 145 locations, a combination of street front and food court franchises, in all western provinces, plus Ontario and Quebec.

www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online

SUCCESS STORIES: THE FACES OF CANADIAN FRANCHISING Before purchasing his first Edo Japan franchise, Hirjee had no experience in the restaurant industry. He owned a mobile cell phone store, but as that industry changed, he was also ready for a change, and after careful research of different franchises, he felt that Edo Japan was the best choice. Hirjee opened his first Edo Japan street front location in the greater Edmonton area in 2009, with the franchisor looking after all the leg work, from identifying the best location and negotiating with the landlord to overseeing the build. He has added new locations every few years. “Fast forward to today, I now own four locations in Edmonton – all built from scratch ¬– and purchased an existing location in Spruce Grove, Alberta.” Looking back on his first year, Hirjee remembers working 75-hour weeks for at least the first six months. “When you first open, you are doing everything from A to Z, and your team is relying on you to train them.” Finding good employees was one of his biggest initial challenges, and Edo Japan was able to help with staffing. Some of Hirjee’s original hires have stayed

with him and have been promoted to management positions in his stores. Another challenge was learning the market and bringing awareness to the new location. “As a new franchisee, you can often be faced with new challenges such as learning your market, identifying your customer profile, and bringing awareness to a new location, but fortunately Edo Japan ensures its franchising partners have the tools to achieve success.” Before opening his first store, Hirjee participated in Edo Japan’s comprehensive five-week hands-on training program, and as he expanded, he also sent his new managers for the same level of training. While Hirjee feels that Edo Japan continues to be a good choice for him, he has some advice for anyone who is currently considering the purchase of a franchise. Franchising can be a great way to start a business because someone else has developed systems and thought about every aspect of the operation – things you may not even be aware need doing. But from Hirjee’s perspective, it’s important to find one that is a good fit. “It’s an immense amount of work,” he adds. “Always remember, you will only be as successful as the rest of your team, so ensure that you take the time to build a solid team that believes in each other and in the brand.”

Kristi Bieber, 30 Minute Hit Ten years ago, Kristi Bieber walked into a 30 Minute Hit in Surrey, British Columbia and changed her life. At the time, she was a stay-at-home mom with two kids, so a guided kickboxing class outside of the house designed specifically for women seemed like just what she needed. But she soon found that it wasn’t just the “killer” 30-minute workout she was after, but the confidence these classes instilled and the strong sense of community they fostered. She loved it so much, in fact, that Bieber, her husband, and now three kids moved to Vernon, B.C. specifically to open a 30 Minute Hit location. At the end of 2014, she called up the corporate team at 30 Minute Hit, and asked: “Do you guys want a Hit in Vernon?” Their response: “Absolutely.” Five months later, she opened her location in a little strip mall on the outskirts of the city and jumped into one of the most challenging and rewarding years of her life. The premise of 30 Minute Hit is simple: participants, aka “hitters,” spend two minutes at each of the 13 stations, which are based on boxing, kickboxing, general self-defense, and core stability training. The final sta-

tion, a mannequin lovingly known as BOB (Body Opponent Bag), is where they can use everything they’ve learned on the circuit – punches, kicks, etc. Instructors are always there, bouncing from hitter to hitter, to help with technique and motivation. The franchise was started by Jackson and Deanna Loychuk in 2004, partly as a way to forego some of the challenges that women face in typical boxing and kick-

Franchise Canada Directory 2021 49

SUCCESS STORIES: THE FACES OF CANADIAN FRANCHISING boxing classes: inflexible class schedules, leering men twice their size, and expensive fees for training that wasn’t always the right fit. As of writing, there are 57 locations in Canada and nine in the U.S. By all accounts, Bieber, who came with an education in public relations and several years of experience in the restaurant industry, had that energy and passion in spades. As Bieber found out in her first year in business, she was busy, of course, but she wasn’t working 80-hour weeks, and she was able to get her kids to school every day, pick them up, and put them to bed. This isn’t to say that first year was easy, though. Bieber arrived with no business experience, so there were times when she felt overwhelmed by all of the little things that she was responsible for – accounting tasks, for example – and she admits there was a steep learn-

ing curve. But she’s quick to add, the systems that are in place are “fantastic.” The initial franchisee training program also played a part in relieving some of those challenges, says Bieber. 30 Minute Hit’s ongoing support systems include an online ticket system where franchisees can submit requests for help and get a quick response. Looking back at her first year in business, Bieber says she couldn’t be happier that she made the jump from hitter to franchisee. As for advice Bieber would give to others in their first year as a 30 Minute Hit franchisee, it’s not all that different than what she might tell a new hitter. “Just jump in 100 per cent and trust it. This isn’t something that can be done on the side; you have to be passionate and be willing to put in the time. It’s not complex work, but it’s hard work and high energy.”

Dylan McCann and Nigel Baxter, EverLine Coatings When you park your car at work, at the mall, at the grocery store, or in any other lot, you may not even think about the painted lines that delineate each parking spot, or notice that the asphalt has been swept or sealed. “Asphalt is literally everywhere,” says Dylan McCann, a franchisee with EverLine Coatings. And in parking lots, all that asphalt needs to be painted, cleaned, maintained, and repainted on a regular basis. Up until a few years ago, if you were a national chain, you would be hard pressed to find a company that could look after all those tasks in your various locations across Canada. “Our typical competitor is a local family-run company. EverLine covers a huge service area, allowing us to service big box stores and other national clientele,” says McCann. “EverLine is disrupting the industry,” adds Saskatchewan franchisee Nigel Baxter. He notes that in addition to looking after parking lot needs like power washing and painting or installing parking blocks and speed bumps, the company offers related interior use products and services like line painting, epoxy flooring, and nonslip specialty coatings for plants, warehouses and other businesses, and more. As two of EverLine’s first franchisees, these millennials have seen first-hand the benefits and challenges of being part of a newly established franchise concept when they participated alongside founder John Evans in an episode of Dragons’ Den that aired in November 2019. Evans started EverLine in Calgary in 2012 and decided to develop a franchise model in 2015, drawing on his experience running a successful College Pro Painter franchise while he was in university. Today EverLine has 11 locations from British Columbia through Ontario.

McCann joined the company as general manager for Northern Alberta, and purchased the first EverLine franchise in 2016, in Edmonton. “Because I was involved so early, we were still developing a lot of the systems that we have today. There is always a little bit of apprehensiveness from new clients until you prove you will show up and do what you said you would do.” “As we’ve gotten bigger, John has put a lot of time into the financial aspect and coaching our franchisees through making data-driven decisions,” adds McCann. “That helps take the stress down – this is a business where 80 per cent of revenue is generated during warm weather months.” Baxter, who purchased franchise rights for Saskatchewan in 2017, says determination, drive, and a willingness to work hard are key to any new franchisee’s success. “Being a young business owner is challenging. In the beginning, you have to put everything you have into the business, not just financially, but also your time.”

SUCCESS STORIES: THE FACES OF CANADIAN FRANCHISING Evans has mainly attracted millennial franchisees, and that’s purposeful, Evans explains. “I’m inclined to assist the millennial generation to get into business for themselves. They tend to be high energy and innovative, and they are technologically adaptable, able to pull up information that they need quickly, which is definitely important.” Being a business owner, says McCann, forces you to think about things differently. “If you think you’re entre-

preneurial but can’t seem to find the right idea to take the plunge, franchising is a great way to scratch the itch and water down the risk.” “Getting in early was big for me, and I’ve had lots of support, which is particularly important with a new company. I’m pumped to be part of this. We’re growing at an incredible rate and being able to help new franchisees develop and grow their businesses quicker than I could is very rewarding.”

Cecilia Chen, Inspiration Learning Center For franchisee Cecilia Chen, Inspiration Learning Center offered an opportunity that ignited her passion for education and allowed her to be her own boss while fostering a better work-life balance. Inspiration Learning Center was founded by Angel Kuang in Toronto, Ontario in 2003. Today, they boast 15 locations across the Greater Toronto Area, with recent openings in Mississauga and Burlington. The company offers tutoring, private school, educational consulting, and more. Prior to purchasing her own franchise, Chen, who holds a degree in accounting, worked as an administrative assistant at the Markham franchise location. The job allowed her to become familiar with the Inspiration Learning concept and the Canadian education system, and to hone her customer service and communication skills. “I improved my skills a lot, and then I went on maternity leave,” says Chen. As a young mother, the prospect of starting a career with long hours and overtime after maternity leave wasn’t appealing. Chen wanted to strike the right work-life balance by committing to her family and fulfilling her career goals at the same time. When she heard that Kuang was looking for a franchisee to take over the Thornhill location, the idea of business ownership took flight. Chen says investing in Inspiration Learning Center offers plenty of benefits. For one, the flexible working hours are key for a young entrepreneur looking to balance a career with a personal life. When it comes to education, Chen says that working with students and gaining a better understanding of the Canadian education system also allows her to better educate her own children. The corporate office also provides plenty of support when facing issues. “I like that when running the business, there’s always a team behind me supporting me,” notes Chen. As a young mother of two, Chen says she can’t deny starting a business at this phase of her life was a challenge. “It was hard to balance the business and family

at the same time, especially when just starting up. The good thing is that I had my husband and parents’ support, and they offered a lot of encouragement.” Chen says in the end, the benefits far outweigh the challenges. “First, you will always be challenged. Everything that goes into the business is your responsibility, from initial concept and branding to growth and goal setting.” Second, she says the ability to call a business her own is a wonderful feeling. “The feeling of sitting back and saying, ‘this is my company,’ and to proudly hold your head up. Being an entrepreneur takes an incredible amount of work, and those words feel so good coming out of my mouth.” Third, as a business owner, she never feels undervalued. “If I have ideas that will make the business better, I can implement them right away. I don’t have to hope that someone will give me permission and listen to my suggestions, which is empowering.” Finally, as an entrepreneur, Chen says you get out of a business what you put into it. “I used to work six to seven days a week, and if I am ready to work harder than anyone else, I will be rewarded accordingly. If I want to experience more growth and opportunities, I simply work harder.”

SUCCESS STORIES: THE FACES OF CANADIAN FRANCHISING Michelle Bailey, Bark Busters Like many franchisees, Michelle Bailey came to in-home dog training franchise Bark Busters first as a customer. In 2011, she and her husband had adopted a rescue dog named Major with worrisome aggression issues, a problem made even more dire by the fact that Bailey was pregnant with their daughter. The situation escalated to where the dog was fighting with dogs and people, so they went looking for a solution and found Bark Busters. “Within the first two hours of the lesson, it really changed our lives, gave us the mindset, tools, and approach to get the dog under control. I always tell my clients in the years that have followed that of the nearly 1,000 dogs I’ve trained at this point, he’s still one of the worst I had ever seen,” says Bailey. That accomplishment was something Bailey kept in mind as she returned to work in the theatre world as a costume designer, head of wardrobe at a mid-sized theatre company in Toronto. While she found her work engaging, it was getting challenging to balance family life, so she turned to Bark Busters. Good timing also played a role, as the franchise territory owner for Hamilton-Niagara was looking to move on from the business. On both sides, there was a lot of back and forth with head office. “You need to be the right kind of person because you’re not only dealing with dogs, but you’re going into people’s homes,” says Bailey, who was also assessing on her end. Bailey says there’s no one specific training method but that the approach is tailored towards the individual dogs and family. “You learn how to speak the language of the dog,” she explains. In terms of finding clients, Bailey says she’s very active on social media. She runs her own Facebook page, and advertises on Google, Facebook, and Instagram. In addition to online marketing, Bailey has also developed

relationships with local veterinary offices, dropping off brochures and chatting with staff. In terms of challenges, Bailey says the biggest are with owners. “The toughest challenges are keeping people motivated to carry out the instructions. I’ve done this as a client myself; it can be easy to fall back into old habits, but that’s not how this works,” says Bailey. Bailey adds that loads of patience is required too, for humans as well as dogs. “A fellow trainer told me, if you’re just in it for the dogs then be a dog walker, because dogs are 10 per cent of it. I’m more of a human trainer, training people to train their dog,” she says. Even though she’s only been with the franchise for five years, Bailey has already been recognized twice as Bark Busters’ top franchisee and also won the founder’s award. She says she’s pleased with how far she’s come as a franchisee, and especially the work-life balance she’s gained. “The business lets me plan my life. As busy as I am, I’m busy when I want to be busy. I’m able to spend time with my family, I’m always able to plan a vacation.”

Sarah Ballantyne, Spiritleaf When Sarah Ballantyne and her husband Carson opened their Spiritleaf location in the north end of Vernon, British Columbia last year, Sarah was doing what many new business owners do: a little bit of everything. Not only was she on the floor of the cannabis retail store, she was also circling to the back of the store to do other things. It didn’t last. “I was doing that for the first six months,” she says, “but I found I couldn’t focus my attention. I was only half there when I was on the floor. Now that I’m doing mostly back of house, I can focus my attention a lot more.” It helped that she studied human resources in uni-

SUCCESS STORIES: THE FACES OF CANADIAN FRANCHISING versity and therefore knew about how to find the right people for the right job, she says. CEO Darren Bondar launched Spiritleaf in March 2017, the retailer has gone on to open 55 locations and counting, most of which are in Western Canada, and has signed more than 100 franchise agreements, making it one of the leading recreational cannabis chains in the country. Ballantyne’s day typically starts well before the doors open at 9 am, and it usually begins with reviewing the previous day’s sales analytics. Around the same time, she will also be in contact with head office. When the doors open, Ballantyne circles to the front to talk to customers. Back in the office, she works on the computer to complete various administrative tasks. Ballantyne is also constantly in contact with her store manager, who talks to her about everything from staffing and scheduling to good and bad feedback about product. That negative feedback, while rare, is the most challenging part of Sarah’s day, she says. In the afternoon, Ballantyne completes some financial tasks. Like almost anyone associated with the cannabis industry, however, Ballantyne and her staff must be careful about how they advertise. Canadian cannabis advertising laws dictate, for instance, that retailers can’t advertise to young people or promote cannabis as part of an appealing or exciting lifestyle. Before leaving for the day at around 4 pm, Ballantyne will typically review product stock and see what the store is overstocked with so that she can then tell staff which products they might want to suggest to customers. Once Ballantyne gets home, though, that doesn’t mean the working day is over since she can keep a close eye on inventory with her phone. Ballantyne says one of the keys to thriving as a Spiritleaf franchisee is to have an optimistic outlook. “You really need a positive attitude because there are

a lot of changes in this industry right now.” And while franchisees also need to have a passion for cannabis to thrive at Spiritleaf, Ballantyne says that the franchise will teach you almost everything you need to know about cannabis. The training is part of the comprehensive support franchisees get from Spiritleaf, says Ballantyne, and another reason she’s thankful she decided to go with the company. As for any advice she would give to someone interested in becoming a Spiritleaf franchisee, it’s simple: do your research. “And maybe ask if you can do some store shadowing with another owner so that you get a really good idea of how it works,” she adds.

Thinking About Franchising Your Business? 4 BIG questions to consider before you get started BY MARIETTA SNETSINGER

1. Why should I use franchising to grow my business? As a smart and successful entrepreneur, you’re probably thinking about how you can continue to capitalize on your success and grow your business. As you consider your options, you may find that the franchise business model could be a contender. Let’s start with the most obvious and popular reasons to consider franchising your business: Local connection: What better way to secure the success of a new location/business than to start with a local connection? Expanding into new markets with a franchise partner who has an “invested” interest and the ability to connect with a local audience can go a long way toward expediting growth. Local representation and connection to the brand can help you expand into markets where you just couldn’t build local relationships and connections as quickly utilizing a corporate model. Leverage capital investment: Franchising is a

54 Canadian Franchise Association

great way to grow and scale a business using other people’s money. This type of growth format allows for a business to expand leveraging the capital of others, i.e. franchisees who are more likely to deliver an exceptional customer experience, and share common values with the franchisor. Speed of unit expansion: By leveraging the investment of your franchisees, you can expand more quickly and efficiently. In exchange for sharing your “know how” and proven business model, it is possible to have more locations, sooner! Opportunity demand: Simply put, you have a concept that has been successful, and others are willing to pay you for this knowledge. There are many ‘intrapreneurs’ who are seeking opportunities to be in business for themselves and they are happy to invest in your franchise for access to this proven format. They become implementors of your concept at a local level as your franchisee.

THINKING ABOUT FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS? 2. What make your business “franchisable”? If you’re wondering what makes a business “franchisable” and more specifically, if your business would be a great candidate for franchising, here are five ways to evaluate the franchisability of your existing business: I. Innovative/unique selling proposition (USP) The concept has established a strong brand, including unique and innovative services. The products and service are delivered with a customer-centric approach. The company is clear about who they serve and what services/products are offered. Checklist: ❑ W hat makes your business unique and different from competitors? ❑ A re you offering something that doesn’t already exist in your market? ❑ Is your business focused on the customer’s experience? II. Unique franchise proposition (UFP) Creating a concept that has a clear business proposition for franchisees who choose to invest with you is essential. Part of your franchise marketing program will include clearly communicating exactly what sets you apart from other franchise concepts, including proprietary programs which often evolve around acquiring clients and/or staffing your concept. If there is a common challenge within your industry, your concept has a proprietary way of solving the problem. Checklist: ❑ W hat makes your concept stand out among your competitors? ❑ Will someone pay you to learn your business format? ❑ How will you manage franchisee expectations? III. Scalability The business can be duplicated in a different market and steps have been taken to prove this theory by opening a second or multiple locations. The ability to replicate results needs to be established before the business is offered as a franchise investment to others. In addition to being replicated, the business should also have established and clearly defined standard operating procedures. Checklist: ❑ Can the concept be reproduced? ❑ Have you tested ‘scalability’? ❑ Have you added systems to your existing business? ❑ Have you duplicated the business already? IV. Current profitability The business is currently very profitable! You have kept accurate financial records, have a solid understanding of why and what makes your business profitable, and there is a history of profitability over time, including

different economic cycles. The profit margins should exceed that of your general industry. Have the financial statements and overhead costs been properly accounted for and is there a history of profitability over time? Taking that one step further, will it be profitable for both the franchisee and the franchisor? ❑ Does the business unit make money today? ❑ Has it been profitable for a minimum of two years? ❑ Do the margins exceed that of the industry norm? ❑ Do you have accurate financial records? 3. What makes it a franchise? As much as franchise systems may differ in products and services offered, the underlying premise of franchising remains the same. Before you begin exploring expansion options, take some time to explore and understand the components of the business model and exactly what it means to establish a franchise system. A little bit of due diligence and understanding early on can go a long way. The five fundamental components of a franchise system include: I. Proprietary operating system: The initial franchise fee covers access to the franchisor’s validated and documented business system. A good turnkey franchisor provides help with set-up, initial training, and

THINKING ABOUT FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS? ongoing support, all designed to reduce the number of “days to first dollar.” The “system” allows the franchisee to expedite their business launch and focus on sales vs. setting up a system and process. II. Brand equity and marketing power: Developing brand standards using the franchisor’s proven system (inclusive of the franchisor’s trademarks) is at the core of any franchise system. Adherence to the system is critical, as it helps manage customer expectations and often factors into a customer’s decision to do business with you. Franchisees may also be required to contribute to national advertising fund programs designed to support more general brand awareness initiatives. This does not negate the need to also engage in local unit advertising initiatives, nor does it mean that “if we build it, they will come.” Brand strength is built upon commitment from all stakeholders. III. Revenue sharing: For access to the ongoing programs offered by the franchisor, the franchisee agrees to remit a percentage of their sales to the franchisor. Basically, the brand and the systems which are included within the brand are part of the reason why a customer may choose to do business with your company over another similar brand. IV. Development and distribution of products and services: Timing is everything and ongoing market research on the latest products and anticipated needs of the customers often falls to the franchisor. As a franchisor, you must be aware of industry trends, developments, or products. V. Customer centric: Organizations wherein the franchisor and the franchisee are aligned and focused on delivering client-centric goods and services with an emphasis on loyalty are infinitely more successful. Basically, both the franchisor and the franchisee are focused on acquiring and retaining customers who will use more and more of the products, on a more regular basis … and tell their friends. Making the decision to franchise your business starts with a fundamental understanding of the business model. No matter which option you choose, if you are prepared and have done your research, you can approach your expansion plan with confidence. 4. Who can help me franchise my business?

Franchise consultant Early on, a good franchise consultant can help you make the decision to franchise your business and should act as a quarterback to help you manage the franchise project. They will be invaluable as you move forward with creating and adding systems to your business. They will also be able to help you understand roles and responsibilities between you (the franchisor) and your future franchisees. Figuring out who does what and when early on is fundamental, as this will also have a direct impact on the financial and future fee structure. Franchise lawyer Once you have determined what your system will look like (based on the current proven model), a franchise lawyer can help create the supporting legal documents required to create your Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). It is important to use legal counsel that specializes in the practice of franchise law so that you meet the constantly evolving laws surrounding the franchise model. Accountant In conjunction with your accountant, the franchise consultant will be able to help you establish a fee structure for your franchise concept. Their thorough understanding of your business financials will be helpful as you establish your franchise entity. Banker It is important to keep your banker in the loop with your expansion plans. This will also be helpful in the future, should you choose to franchise. Your banker will be familiar with you and your concept and that will help future franchisees as they seek financing for your concept. Marketing professional A branding and marketing strategy for your franchise concept is essential. You may be familiar with how you market locally, but you will need to have a plan and be strategic about how you scale your marketing activity and infrastructure. A marketing professional with franchise marketing experience will prove invaluable as you move forward with your concept.

FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS:

A CHECKLIST

successful business owner is generally always thinking a step ahead to what’s on the horizon – a new product or service offering, an attention-grabbing marketing campaign, or a way to provide even better quality and value to customers and clients. They’re probably also thinking about growth and ways to take the success they’ve found so far and expand it to even bigger proportions. A popular way to grow a successful business is through the franchise business model. This type of growth format allows the business to expand through franchisee investment, providing capital for new locations, as well as motivated operators who have a vested interest in seeing them succeed. There’s also the added bonus of having a local franchisee operating your concept in their community, taking a hands-on role and building and maintaining relationships. If you have a booming business that you would like to expand via franchising, read on for some of the things you’ll need to have or know early on in the process. A successful business. Has your business established a history of success? Before you consider franchise expansion, you need to have a solid foundation from which to build. You might want to consider opening another location to ‘test the waters’ of expansion and evaluate the market reaction to a satellite location before focusing on expansion through the franchise business model.

58 Canadian Franchise Association

A concept that can be replicated. Though franchising can be found in numerous business sectors and industries, all franchises share common threads. An important one is that franchised concepts are tried and tested and can be replicated consistently in different locations. Make sure that the core components of your business’s success can travel well to new markets and, with proper training and guidance, can be implemented exactly by someone else. A desire to work with other entrepreneurs. In order to establish a successful business, you must have some great entrepreneurial chops! As you make the decision to expand your business through franchising, there are a few things to consider, mindset-wise. You will be taking on franchisees to operate new locations – are you ready to offer them the assistance and advice they’ll need? Are you prepared to lead a team of franchisees? Keep in mind that franchisees will be your partners in the system, not your employees, and will be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. Though they will operate their location, they will rely on you (and the head office team you will build) for support in doing so consistently and successfully. A franchise support team. Eventually, you will most likely need to bring more head office personnel on board to provide an appropriate level of support for your growing system. In the early days,

FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS: A CHECKLIST though, you may want to look to experts with experience in franchising to assist you in franchising your business – for example, a franchise lawyer, accountant, consultant, and marketer. These franchise professionals can provide guidance and advice on many of the elements required to franchise your business. Capital to cover upfront costs. Though franchising allows you to expand your business’s points of sale through the investments of the franchisees, you’ll still need to be prepared to fund the upfront costs associated with adopting the franchise business model. There are documents and manuals to be created, legal contracts and agreements to be drafted, trademarks to be protected, and a financial plan for your new system to be built. Your support team can help you in creating and budgeting for these needed items, as well as getting a handle on your franchise’s overall cash flow. A financial plan for the long haul. With your short-term financial plan under control, you’ll want to consider your franchise system’s long-term financial situation. Though most franchise systems require an initial fee from each franchisee, in general, this alone will not be sufficient. Franchise materials. As mentioned, there are documents and legal agreements that must be drafted for your franchise system. It’s best to consult the experts when putting these materials together; for instance, drafting the franchise disclosure document and the franchise agreement will require the expertise of a franchise lawyer, as there is franchise-specific legislation in certain provinces that these materials must comply with. As another example, having your lawyer and a franchise consultant go over materials such as your operations manuals will help ensure that policies and procedures are explained clearly and that nothing vital has been omitted.

Franchise marketing materials. You’ll likely also want to create marketing materials aimed at prospective franchisees. Many systems put together special packages of information specifically for interested investors that outline the benefits of joining your system. These will differ from your customercentric marketing efforts, as you’ll be trying to show prospective franchisees not only the benefits of your end-user products or services, but also the advantages of the system side – the operations, support, and unique concept. A marketer or marketing firm experienced in working with franchised businesses will be able to guide you in getting your messages out to both your consumer and prospective franchisee audience. These are just a few of the general considerations of franchising your business. When consulting with franchise support services professionals, they can provide you with even more specific information, expertise, and advice. With their assistance, you can put together a more customized to-do list for your specific concept and be on your way to success and growth with the franchise business model.

FRANCHISE MATTERS

FRANCHISE BRAND MATTERS WHEN YOU THINK OF A BRAND, you might think about

its familiar logo, catchy slogan, or signature colour scheme. While all of these things can be included as defining aspects of a brand, a company’s brand is much more than just that. It is the tangible, but it’s also the intangible – how people think and feel about a company. This, of course, is more difficult to nail down. When a prospective franchisee is investigating franchise opportunities, the franchise brand itself is one of the main components he or she will want to consider. What are the hallmarks of a strong brand, and does this company’s brand have them? How strong and unique is the brand? How is the brand supported and protected by the franchisor? What happens when the system wants to or needs to refresh its branding? Read on for insight into the world of franchise brands. Brand vs. branding A company is made up of people, offices, products, and services. The company’s brand is made up of the perceptions that consumers have about them. This also includes the perceptions held by internal stakeholders: the company’s management and employees. How do people create these views and opinions about brands? That’s branding – the ways by which a company or business generates awareness and conveys its values to people. These are the activities that help shape the way

60 Canadian Franchise Association

people, both inside the company and outside, think and feel about it. Because of this, great branding doesn’t equal a great brand. Any company could spend a wad of cash on splashy branding, but without conveying the right messages to the right people at the right time, it would all be for naught. A cool logo, for example, does not make for a strong brand; more substance is required in order for people to react to a brand. A strong brand message should resonate throughout the company. Branding, franchising, and you Strong brands and strong branding are particularly important in the franchise industry, where franchise systems must be able to differentiate themselves from competitors in order to build the brand. The branding should be able to tell you the system’s unique aspects and offerings. It could be the same for both franchisees and consumers – for example, a proprietary blend of coffee that can’t be found anywhere else. Or, in the case of a cleaning service that uses environmentally friendly products, the unique benefit to the consumer is fewer chemicals used in their home, while a franchisee might see the benefit of a proprietary operating system and products. When evaluating a franchise’s brand strength, consider first the look and feel of the brand and branding instead of more quantitative aspects such as how many units it currently has or how long it has been in business. Zero in on its unique features – what makes it different – and how well they’re imparted to others.

www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online

FRANCHISE MATTERS Strong brands are built from the inside out, so one of the easiest ways to spot a strong brand is to speak with those who are charged with nurturing, growing, and maintaining it. These people should consider themselves ‘brand ambassadors’ and be able to easily convey the brand’s message. A prospective franchisee should also reflect on how the brand and branding are being managed. Consistency is vital to both branding and franchising; it’s important that this is monitored so everyone’s investment is protected. Rather than policing, franchisors should ensure brand buy-in among employees and franchisees and that everyone is aware of the consequences of inconsistencies. A good place to look for this is in the system’s training, as this is what will impart consistent operations and branding to each new location. Before signing on, a prospective franchisee should be comfortable and confident in the franchise system’s established branding, as well as the support provided to help franchisees stay within brand guidelines, such as marketing materials created by the franchisor.

hensive hiring process is the best way to ensure you’re setting your business up for success. Hiring can be a tricky thing, though – one false move could be costly. Read on for tips and best practices to make your hiring process run as smoothly as possible.

Refreshing brands Part of maintaining a strong brand involves knowing when to update, change or refresh the branding in order to stay current in the marketplace. In a franchise system, this is important for franchisees to note, as it will impact them directly. The ‘when and how’ of these updates should be outlined in the franchise agreement. They could include, for example, renovations to the bricks-and-mortar location, or a redesigned logo. Ultimately, calculated updates can leave the system even stronger than before, provided that franchisees and employees view the refresh as an investment in its future and not as a burden. When making a brand decision, whether it’s a smaller one, like where to buy your morning coffee, or a much larger one, such as joining a franchise system as a franchisee, an individual’s reaction to the brand plays an important role. As a prospective franchisee, examine the brand and branding of the systems under consideration and be wary of choosing the ‘sizzle’ over the ‘steak’; look for a strong, clear, consistent brand and branding that makes people want to align with it.

What should I put in the job description? Franchisees, in particular, have a distinct advantage when it comes to crafting effective job descriptions for available positions. The franchisor will have experience in hiring for these exact positions, and will know exactly what the job entails and what should be in the description. Job descriptions should outline, in detail, all of the technical and skill- and experience-based aspects of the position – the proficiencies that a candidate would include on their résumé. When the prospective employee comes in for an interview, that’s when you can start evaluating personality and culture fit.

FRANCHISE HIRING MATTERS AS A NEW FRANCHISEE, surrounding yourself with the

right people can make all the difference to your success. Your greatest resource, as they say, is the people who will be serving customers and clients at your location. Bringing the appropriate people on board through a compre-

What am I looking for? Before you place a ‘help wanted’ ad, you need to know the kind of employee you seek. When you’re thinking about what you’re looking for in a potential hire, you’ll need to go beyond the job title. Be clear about who you’re looking for, personality-wise, and the qualities or skills that person will need to possess. Does the position require someone who can be a team player, or will the new hire need to be able to work well independently? Do you want a leader who can motivate and influence other employees? Knowing what personality type is needed can help narrow the field as you go through résumés and applications. You’ll also need to be realistic – if you’re looking for a cashier, finding a candidate with great interpersonal skills is likely going to be more important than looking for someone with an MBA.

Where can I find candidates? While the internet plays a large role in today’s hiring process, it may be better to diversify your approach to hiring. Posting on the internet will reach a wide range of candidates, but can also create an avalanche of applications for you to weed through. Job fairs can be a good source of candidates, as long as you lay some groundwork beforehand and do some promotion to make sure the people you want to target show up. If you already have some star employees working with you, ask them for referrals. This is helpful because the person is being recommended by a reliable source that already has a good idea of the type of person that would thrive in the position and in the business. An important thing is to measure the success of each method you use to find candidates. That way, when you need to start the hiring process again, you won’t waste

Franchise Canada Directory 2021 61

FRANCHISE MATTERS time and effort on channels that didn’t work well for you the first time around. How should I structure the interview process? Once you have received résumés from potential hires and narrowed it down to a short list of candidates, it’s time to interview. Before you sit down with anyone, ensure you have a clear procedure in place for the most important part of the hiring process. To help remove your own preferences and biases from the process, interviews should be conducted by more than one person. You can then discuss the pros and cons of each candidate together and find a consensus. This will aid in finding new hires that complement, rather than copy, the qualities and skill sets that you already have. In addition to reducing the opportunity for personal biases to creep in, having other people helping you to interview candidates can reveal even more about the person on the ‘hot seat.’ When one of the other interviewers is asking a question, you’re free to focus on the person’s body language. Are they comfortable? Do they seem less than confident? Use the interview process to dig deeper into the candidate’s mindset. Steer clear of close-ended questions, get interviewees to give you examples, and ask followup questions. Don’t be afraid to ask the ‘tough’ questions, either. How do I choose which candidate to bring on board? The two things to keep in mind when evaluating candidates are cultural fit and technical fit. The former involves the person’s personality and motivations. It’s harder to train these things if they’re not a fit from the get-go.

References are still one of the most important pieces of the hiring puzzle and can give you even more insight into the intangibles, such as work ethic. It’s important that you go right to the top and speak with former supervisors and managers. While it’s illegal to ask a reference about certain subjects, such as the candidate’s religion or marital status, there is one question that should always be on your list: “If you had the opportunity to hire this person again, would you?” If the answer to this question is anything other than a resounding ‘yes,’ it may be a red flag. Once the new hire is on the job, is the process over? You’ve searched, assessed, and interviewed. You extended a job offer and the candidate accepted. Now that they’re officially your employee, your work is done. Not so fast: you need to be paying attention to how they’re fitting into the role and the business as a whole. While there will be a settling-in period, if it becomes obvious that the new employee is not a good fit, it’s in everyone’s best interest to let them go sooner rather than later.

FRANCHISE CUSTOMER SERVICE MATTERS AS CONSUMERS, we’re familiar with customer service

– the assistance received from a vendor before, during, and after purchasing a product or service. We’ve probably all experienced great customer service and not-sogreat service at some point. And, usually, these experiences can shape the way we view the company or the person from whom we received the service.

FRANCHISE MATTERS Satisfied customers and clients are at the heart of any successful business. Creating relationships through excellent customer service keeps customers happy and keeps them coming back. With franchised businesses, customer service not only needs to be top notch, it needs to be consistently excellent during every interaction at every location in the system. Dissatisfied customers will tell people about the poor service they received, and with all of the avenues available through social media and the internet, it’s easier than ever for one person’s opinion to circulate quickly. In a franchise system, everyone is responsible for generating positive reviews of the company’s customer service – in different ways. Head office is in charge of creating customer service standards to be followed. Franchisees are trained to ensure that they and their employees are meeting or exceeding these standards at their own location. But how does a franchisee make certain that his or her employees are providing a consistent level of service? In a word: training. When setting up a training program, the first place to look is to the core philosophies of the franchise – what is it that should be imparted to the end user, the customer? There are so many variables and different scenarios that a customer service person may have to deal with, so teaching the core principles first gives franchisees and employees a ‘compass’ to rely on in customer service situations. Once an employee has shown that they can navigate simple scenarios, the training should take them through ones where the ‘right’ way is less obvious or where there are multiple ways of dealing with the scenario that may be considered ‘correct.’ Once employees are trained and on the job, the

franchisee, manager, or supervisor can provide feedback. But even the most hands-on of franchisees or diligent of managers will be unable to see and hear every customer interaction that takes place. What happens when those people aren’t around? One way is through outside assessment, such as a mystery shopping program, which sends anonymous reviewers into locations with a checklist of things to look for. For example, if the training instructs in-store employees to offer customers a free sample as they come in, mystery shoppers who conduct a survey “mission” at that franchise’s stores will have to note whether or not they were greeted with a sample. During a mystery shopping mission, the shopper uses the survey to evaluate different aspects of the shopping experience. Once the data from the visits is collected from the mystery shoppers, franchisors are able to share the findings with individual franchisees and the system as a whole. This allows franchisees to compare their results with those of other locations and for the franchisor to identify any trends. During the franchise investigation process, prospective franchisees should explore the franchise’s entire training program, not only considering the training they will receive, but also how their future employees will be trained. After all, in a successful franchise system, good customer service is everyone’s aim. Well-trained franchisees and employees on the frontlines who create outstanding consumer experiences and receive detailed feedback on how they’re doing – that’s the foundation for great customer relationships that will have people coming back again and again.

FRANCHISE LEGAL MATTERS

Franchising is often referred to as a mutually-rewarding relationship between franchisors and their franchisees. While this is true, the franchise business model is also built upon contracts and other documentation, which makes the relationship that much more complex. Luckily, there’s help for prospective franchisees in wading through the paperwork and fully understanding the rights and obligations of the franchise relationship that are outlined within.

FRANCHISE LEGAL COUNSEL MATTERS

Franchise lawyers are well versed in the ins and outs of the franchise business model. It’s vital for prospective franchisees to fully understand all documentation involved in their franchise investment, particularly the disclosure document (a comprehensive summary of pertinent information about the franchise system, its officers, finances, etc.) and the franchise agreement. As a potential franchisee about to invest your time, effort, and money, you’ll want a complete understanding of the relationship you’re about to enter into. This is where an experienced franchise lawyer comes in. Though there are some common features found in franchise agreements, these can vary from franchise system to franchise system, and from franchisee to franchisee. Today, some provinces have franchise legislation that prescribes the information that franchisees must receive

64 Canadian Franchise Association

prior to signing on the dotted line. This is just one of the reasons why retaining a lawyer who has experience with the franchise business model is a wise choice. So, where can you find a franchise lawyer? Prospective franchisees can find a lot of the information they need online, through sites like the CFA’s online directory of franchise support services members. Although the internet is a great source for some initial inquiries, prospective franchisees should speak and meet with lawyers first before retaining one. When selecting a lawyer, there are a few things potential franchisees should consider. Look at the lawyer’s experience – have they dealt with the franchise you’re interested in before? How often have they acted for franchisors and franchisees? Fees are another area that should be examined. Prospective franchisees should be comfortable with the costs and timelines, but should also look for quality services and a lawyer who understands your goals and your financial situation. A large part of examining the franchise system is reviewing its disclosure documents and agreements. Clients are advised when meeting with their franchise lawyer to bring in everything that they’re being asked to

www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online

FRANCHISE LEGAL MATTERS sign, from the franchise agreement itself to any leases or other contracts. Usually these are standard documents, but each should still be looked at. It’s also important for some documents, such as the franchise agreement and real estate lease, to be examined together. The lawyer is looking for two main things: franchisee obligations and potential risk. If, upon review, everything is in order, the franchisee signs on the dotted line and moves forward with establishing their franchise location. But it doesn’t necessarily signal the end for the relationship with the franchise lawyer, as once a good working relationship is established, many clients will return with other legal work down the road. Having an experienced franchise lawyer on your team is an asset both during and after your franchise investigations.

FRANCHISE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT MATTERS

As part of a proper due diligence process, prospective franchisees should be collecting pertinent information on franchising and franchise systems. They should also be evaluating it against their goals, attributes, capabilities, and assets. During due diligence, some of this information (financial capacity, skills, passions) will come from the franchisee, while other details will come from the franchise system. An important piece of this investigation puzzle is the franchise disclosure document. Here’s how you can put these valuable resources to best use and glean as much information as possible. What is a franchise disclosure document? A franchise disclosure document is a written resource designed to provide franchisees with vital information that they need in order to make an informed decision about investing in a franchise opportunity. A typical franchise disclosure document may include information such as: •B ackground on the franchisor and the key players within the system, such as its directors and officers •A ny history of litigation, civil actions, convictions, bankruptcies, etc. of the franchisor and/or its directors and officers •A summary of the trademarks and other intellectual property •A summary of the costs and fees required to start and run the franchise business

• A n outline of the training and ongoing assistance provided by the franchisor • A list of current and former franchisees and their contact details • Financial statements and other fiscal information The disclosure document must meet requirements set out in any provincial franchise legislation. Currently, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island have specific legislation on franchising. Prospective franchisees are given a minimum of 14 days to review the document prior to signing on with the franchise. Will a disclosure document specify how much money a franchisee can make? Franchisors can, but aren’t required to, provide information on projected earnings. As a variety of factors can play into the success of a franchise location, it can sometimes be difficult – and risky – for franchisors to provide earnings claims that apply widely. The financial information that franchisors will include in the disclosure documents is likely to include the franchisor’s overall fiscal performance during the most recent year (which will show the assets, liabilities, and earnings of the franchisor itself) and/or possibly historical actual gross sales of anonymous individual locations. Franchisees are advised to review all financial statements with an accountant, who can explain the numbers and use them to extrapolate the financial viability of the franchise system and to help put together a solid business plan for the prospective franchisee. No matter how the financial information is presented, though, the franchisor must be able to substantiate and justify the information. Another way to find out more about earnings potential is to speak with existing franchisees. When will a prospective franchisee receive a franchise disclosure document? The timing of providing a disclosure document to a prospective franchisee can vary from system to system. Just as a prospective franchisee will be evaluating the franchise opportunity, the franchisor will also be assessing whether the applicant would be a good fit for the system. Once the prospective franchisee is considered a serious candidate, that’s usually the point where the franchise disclosure document comes into play. What should a prospective franchisee do with a franchise disclosure document? When a disclosure document is provided, a prospective franchisee has a minimum of two weeks in which to review the materials. The franchisee should not sign any

Franchise Canada Directory 2021 65

FRANCHISE LEGAL MATTERS contracts or agreements until this period has passed. The two weeks should go by quickly, as there’s much to be done. The first step is to gain a full understanding of the information it contains, with help from an experienced franchise lawyer. A franchise lawyer will be able to “translate” to the prospective franchisee all the essential rights, responsibilities, and obligations that the documents outline pertaining to both sides of the franchise relationship. The lawyer will also point out anything different or unusual about the information or what the franchisor requires, and can often identify items that may be negotiated with the franchisor (and lead these negotiations when the time comes). In addition to speaking with a franchise lawyer, there are others a prospective franchisee should consult during this time, such as an accountant and banker, who may also want to review the disclosure document. Prospective franchisees will also want to put that list of franchisees the disclosure document provides to good use by contacting current and former franchisees for their first-hand knowledge. Franchise disclosure documents play an important role in a franchisee’s due diligence. By consulting with franchise professionals, a disclosure document can help prospective franchisees make their investment decision with a better understanding of the franchise opportunity, as well as the rights, responsibilities, and obligations they’ll be undertaking as a franchisee.

FRANCHISE LEGISLATION MATTERS

The franchise business model is a popular way to do business across Canada. Each year, thousands of Canadians go into business for themselves, but not by themselves by investing in a franchise. In certain provinces there is a legal framework that sets out how the relationship between franchisees (those who are investing in a franchise business) and franchisors (those who own the rights and trademarks of the franchised business and license them to franchisees). The intent of the legislation is to help ensure that prospective franchisees are making an informed investment decision; once they have joined a franchise system, the legislation encourages franchisees and franchisors to deal with one another in good faith. Franchise law helps ensure franchisees receive certain information in

66 Canadian Franchise Association

order to make an educated decision about investing in a franchise business. At the time of writing, franchise legislation exists in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia. In provinces without specific franchise legislation, the franchise business relationship is usually governed by common and/or general business laws. For prospective franchisees, there are the components of franchise legislation that will have the largest impact on them right away. Franchise legislation helps potential franchisees make more informed decisions by requiring franchisors to provide serious franchisee candidates with disclosure documents. A franchise disclosure document is a written resource designed to provide franchisees with vital information that they need in order to make an informed decision about investing in a franchise opportunity. Franchise legislation usually outlines what information needs to be included in disclosure documents and how they may be delivered to prospective franchisees. Under legislation, franchisees are prescribed a certain amount of time to review the disclosure documents, usually two weeks, and consult franchise professionals, such as a lawyer, accountant and banker, to go over the documents in detail. A typical franchise disclosure document may include information such as: • Background on the franchisor – history of the company, what it offers and how it is operated, how long it has been in operation, how many units/franchises it has, other brands it operates • Background on the key players within the system, such as its directors and officers, and those one would deal with as a franchisee • A ny history of litigation, civil actions, convictions, bankruptcies, etc. of the franchisor and/or its directors and officers • A summary of the trademarks and other intellectual property that are licensed under the franchise agreement • A summary of the costs and fees required to start and run the franchise business • A n outline of the training and ongoing assistance provided by the franchisor • A list of current and former franchisees and their contact details • Financial statements and other fiscal information Legal experts encourage prospective franchisees across Canada to request a disclosure document, as franchisors should be willing to share the information with serious prospects. Franchise legislation also provides for rights for established franchisees, such as the right to associate and share information with fellow franchisees.

While all franchised businesses offer you the opportunity to be “in business for yourself but not by yourself,” each business requires significant effort and attention to be successful. Many consider their own financial circumstances a key factor in assessing franchise opportunities. However, as the purchase of a franchise is both a significant financial investment as well as a long-term commitment, there are many other matters that need to be considered before canvassing the available franchise opportunities. At the outset of your decision towards business ownership and entrepreneurship, it is wise to first embark upon a personal analysis as part of your due diligence. Many would argue that the perfect franchise is one that matches with your core interests; in essence, a marriage of the franchise system’s offering with your personal interests and aspirations. In deciding whether a particular franchise is right for you, keep in mind that not everyone has the character suitable to be a franchisee and not every suitable franchisee is the right fit for every franchise system. One of the keys to a successful franchise business is finding a good match between the franchisee and the nature of the goods and services being offered. Each franchisee is an integral part of a network of similar businesses, all of which are required to be operated uniformly and in accordance with the franchise system’s standards and procedures. If your nature is one that is amenable to taking direction, then you may be well-suited to franchising and the requirement to “follow the rules.” However, if you are by nature inventive, creative or resourceful, you may be easily frustrated having to follow the rules which support uniformity throughout the franchise system without having the opportunity to bring your own ideas to the table. “Passion” is a word that is used often, both from those making decisions to expand their business and from young people considering their future career path. It is not surprising that some of the most successful businesses and businesspeople are those that have a true passion for what they do and are able to persevere in order to achieve their goals. That same passion should

be your starting point when deciding which industry sector(s) to explore as you consider the purchase of a franchise. The purchase of a franchise should not be viewed merely as buying yourself a job, a career or an opportunity to be explored. Rather, the purchase should be viewed as an investment in your future and should involve an opportunity to become involved in a business or industry that you are enthusiastic and passionate about or one in which your own know-how and past experience can be used to your advantage. Other factors are similarly important and can actually help to limit the choices available. Your personal and family circumstances are a crucial factor – are the workload and the hours required of a particular franchise business compatible with your lifestyle and able to accommodate your family responsibilities? A retail or restaurant operation will require significantly more hours than one in which you are at liberty to set your hours of operation, such as some home-based or service businesses. Equally important, do you have sufficient personal savings and available credit to establish and operate the business during the start-up period? Undercapitalization is likely the most common reason for failure of franchised businesses. Consultation with an accountant or banker can assist you in realistically determining the financial resources necessary to sustain your operation during the early days of operation of your franchised business. Too often, the purchase of a franchise is seen by prospective franchisees as the easy road to financial success. Purchases are made within industry sectors that the franchisee soon discovers does not match with his or her personal likes and circumstances or that requires more effort and longer hours than anticipated. Due diligence is essential to making an informed decision to invest in a franchise. This not only requires that you investigate the franchisor and its system, but also that you investigate yourself to ensure the perfect match.

Q A

ASK A FINANCE EXPERT

What financing options are there for a millennial interested in franchising? THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE presents headwinds for some younger Canadians, as they look to find permanent employment. In fact, a recent Bank of Canada survey found that hiring will not be top of mind for most Canadian businesses. As a result, younger Canadians in the labour market are starting to look at the franchise industry as an option. According to some reports, around 30 per cent of Canadians showing interest in buying franchises fit into the millennial demographic. A major driving force behind this is that franchising provides millennials with an opportunity to be in the driver’s seat of their own business and engage in a career they enjoy. However, an early challenge that younger Canadians can face is having the necessary start-up capital. Younger Canadians should consider the following advice when they’re looking to get their foot in the door of a franchise. Let’s talk capital The average initial investment for a single unit franchise typically falls between $250,000 and $300,000. This can be a sizeable amount of money, especially for someone just starting out. It’s also important to keep in mind that, when funding the purchase of a franchise, most franchisors will require a substantial down payment; this will vary from franchise to franchise but, on average, it sits around 30 per cent. The challenge here is that the down payment cannot be financed; therefore, it’s important to keep this in mind when thinking about the overall franchise investment. For a prospective franchisee, the Canada Small Business Financing Program provides an excellent financing solution. This is a loan sponsored by the federal government and given out by banks. If approved, you are eligible for up to $1 million for real estate or $350,000 for the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements. With the Government of Canada backing the loan, millennials with an eye on franchising (or some other kind of entrepreneurial endeavour) have a stronger chance of securing the financing. When looking for financing, it’s important to keep in mind what a lender wants to see. Credit history will be one of the first things a lender considers. Remember, personal credit is very important; keep on top of it by reviewing your history with one of the credit bureaus. If the credit history is good, the bank would then look at how much money the prospective franchisee has up front, whether it’s independently or from investors. A comprehensive business plan is also important –

this will give a snapshot of how the franchise is going to move its way to profitability. When developing a plan, ensure that it covers off the following five areas: management, markets, capital investment, cash flow, and profitability. These criteria are used to evaluate the business’s ability to generate cash, identify any potential threats to cash flow in daily operations and in the industry environment, repayment capability, and risks. If securing capital up front isn’t an option, that isn’t the end of the road to owning a franchise. Paths to ownership The cost to ownership can be a tricky hurdle for some millennials looking to start their own franchise, but there are different options open to them. Work, work, work, work, work: When looking to own a franchise, research should play a major part of the decision. It’s incredibly important to ensure you’re finding a franchise that you believe in enough to give it your full commitment. As a prospective franchisee, you could look for employment at the type of franchise that you are looking to own. This can be an incredible advantage; it provides a prospective franchisee an inside look at how the business is run. As well, for a younger Canadian, it provides a way to start building up and saving money for eventual ownership. While this isn’t offered by all franchises, some will offer a work-to-own option. With this model, a franchisee would sell a percentage of the business. The major advantage here is a lower cost to getting a foot in the door. Typically, there will also be the ability to keep making investments in the business (and purchasing a higher share of ownership). Strength in numbers: Finding a partner can be another great option. If there isn’t someone that comes to mind right away, you can always ask the franchisor if they have anyone else that doesn’t have the financing and may be willing to partner with you. Having a partner up front provides the benefit of splitting the cost of the initial investment.

Q A

ASK A FRANCHISE EXPERT What is validation? When does it happen? And, how do I make the most of it? VALIDATION IS PART OF THE RESEARCH PROCESS when you, the prospective franchisee, interview franchisees in the franchise systems you are investigating. It is one of the most important parts of your research. And it’s one of the reasons I love the franchise industry: you hear facts directly from owners to help you gain a deep understanding of the business opportunity. It’s like trying the opportunity on for size. Every franchisor is going to have their own franchise research process and the timing of validation may vary from one franchise to the next. Typically, validation spans the middle third of your research, beginning three to four weeks after you start your research. Wouldn’t it be great if we could talk to owners right away? Actually, it wouldn’t. Webster’s Dictionary defines validation as: to support or corroborate on a sound or authoritative basis. So, by definition, we need some information first. Franchisors provide this as you progress through their research steps. Delaying validation until you have had sufficient learning about the business allows you to confirm if, from the perspective of an owner, the opportunity remains positive in your eyes. Franchisors appreciate and respect their franchisees’ time and the fact that the owners are taking time out of their business to speak with you. Franchisors want you to have completed sufficient due diligence prior to validation to ensure that you have meaningful dialogue and maximize your learning, while requiring as little of the franchisee’s time as possible. That, and the franchisor owes it to their owners to vet candidates prior to validation. HOW: Until now, the franchisor has been driving the process. Now it’s your turn. You set the script for the one-on-one conversations with owners – aka the authority. There is no set number of franchisees you need to speak with. Different folks have different needs and you can tailor your approach to fit. I recommend my clients aim to speak to between eight and 10 franchises as a minimum. If you felt ready to proceed with a franchise after speaking to three or four, I would encourage you to speak with more. If you talk to 10 owners, but still feel there are pieces of the puzzle missing, I would suggest you keep talking to more owners. How many is up to you. You’ll know when you’ve validated enough. (Typically, it’s because you keep hearing the same information again.) By this point you will have learned a lot from the franchisor. Now it’s time to find out if it’s true - from the owner’s perspective. A lot of your questions will be aimed at flushing out the opinion on key areas, so, you might ask

70 Canadian Franchise Association

ones like “how would you rank the quality of the ongoing support from head office?” Think like a reporter – keep asking questions on the same theme to dig deeper. For example, if an owner ranks the quality of ongoing support as a six out of 10, ask questions to better understand. What’s missing that might otherwise score it a seven, eight, or 10? The strategy is to speak with a wide range of owners experiencing different levels of success. This should include some top performers, some of the middle-of-theroad, or “happy camper” franchisees, along with some that are struggling or not very successful. You can also speak with some that have left the system too. There are a lot of great resources that have lists of questions to ask franchisees. They’re long enough that you won’t get through the entire list with each franchisee you talk with. Prioritize your questions and re-evaluate as you progress. 2020 saw a lot of new challenges for businesses. Validation is your opportunity to understand if and how the individual franchisee’s business was impacted by COVID-19. It is, no doubt, an essential conversation. It doesn’t mean that other topics for validation are any less important and can become displaced with crisis-specific topics. You may want to try and have longer validation calls or perhaps two calls with franchisees in order to cover this and other subjects. You can tailor your calls to meet your criteria too. Perhaps you want to concentrate on specific owner situations. Examples could be demographics, prior backgrounds, length in operation, husband-wife teams, similar market sizes, or weather factors. The franchisor and franchisees can help you meet your specific needs. Here are a few tips and suggestions to help you get the most from this important step in your research: Factor your bandwidth It takes a lot of time to validate. You’re going to go from one or two calls a week with a franchisor to suddenly trying to schedule and orchestrate more than eight calls in a short amount of time. Budget enough time so that you make the most from validation.

ASK A FRANCHISE EXPERT Clearance from the tower Wait until you have permission from franchisors to begin validation. There is a reason why the franchisor times validation when they do. You might see trying to validate early as being keen, but the franchisor likely sees it as someone who can’t respect or follow their system. We don’t want that! Manage your optics It is important to be professional in your dealings with franchisees. Basics, like calling when you say you will, keeping to the agreed upon length of time, and being courteous and respectful matter! Smart franchisors circle back with their franchisees to get their opinions on the prospective franchisees they spoke with. It is better to have the owners providing positive feedback to head office. Not all owners will validate Franchisors cannot require their franchisees to participate in validation and some owners simply won’t. It could be fatigue from years of validating, or any number of other reasons. Some franchisees may also decline speaking about a particular area (for example: financial performance, income, financing). Look for victim mentality When you’re speaking to underperforming franchisees, look for who or what they blame for their lack of success. Is it everything under the sun (wrong logo, my market is different, their approach doesn’t work)? Or can they accept that they are at least partially responsible (I don’t work that hard, follow the systems, underinvest in marketing, staffing, picked a wrong location)? While validation is only one of many steps in the research process, it can be the most productive phase. You stand to learn a great deal of information and insight straight from owners which helps you make a sound, safe decision.

ASK A FINANCE EXPERT (Continued from page 69) Leaning on an external network may also be a solution. Look to friends and family and see if they would be willing to invest with you; they would be a capital partner and can earn their investment back as the franchise prospers and grows. With someone helping to fund the cost, it may also expedite the initial down payment. There has been an upswing in millennials turning to franchising, and we shouldn’t expect to see this taper off anytime soon. For those with an entrepreneurial spirit, franchising is a great opportunity for business ownership.

A franchise deposit is monies collected by the franchisor from the franchisee prior to entering a full franchise agreement. It’s generally a percentage of the initial franchise fee amount and the deposit is usually credited towards the amount owing when a full franchise agreement is signed. Making a deposit allows the franchisee to show that they’re a serious candidate and can often permit them to place a ‘hold’ on a certain territory while the franchisee completes their due diligence and other preparations.

These rights govern the way in which the franchisee will conduct their business. The franchisee gains access to the franchisor’s proven business system, including the operations manuals which will outline the systems and processes used to operate the franchise. The franchisee/franchisor relationship is one of mutual benefit, as the franchisee brings the system’s products/services to market and the franchisor provides franchisees with a level of support and assistance.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING PERSPECTIVES

Franchise Lingo TERRITORY/PROTECTED AREA Some franchise systems offer franchisees a territory or protected area in which to conduct business. A territory may be defined by distance radius, postal codes, municipal borders, or simply defined as within the walls of the franchised location. The franchise agreement will outline the boundaries and how they will be respected; it will often state that no other franchisee (or a system-operated corporate store) will be permitted to operate under the same brand within your defined territory. Territories help protect your business’ sales from being ‘cannibalized’ by other locations offering identical products/services in close proximity.

Why is Franchising Important? Franchising plays an important role in the lives of Canadians and the Canadian economy. Here are just some of the ways franchising positively impacts people and communities. Franchising offers important business, career, and employment opportunities

Franchisees are community-focused job creators

Franchising provides an opportunity for a wide range of individuals – those looking to start a career, change careers, follow their passion, become a business owner, and more. The franchise business model is particularly valuable to new Canadians who want to operate their own business.

Franchisees are small-business owners and are invested in the local area, providing jobs and opportunities for those who live close by. Many franchisees are active in their communities – for example, they may join local business associations, sponsor sports teams and other community groups, and support local charities.

Franchising helps entrepreneurs find success through business ownership Franchisees are entrepreneurs and small business owners. For those who want to own their own business, franchising can offer a lower-risk route to this goal. Franchisees get brand recognition, established processes, and a tried-and-true system by which they operate their business.

Franchisees are investing in the Canadian economy When franchisees make the decision to start a business and invest in a franchise, they are investing in the Canadian economy. Because franchisees invest their financial resources, along with their hard work, time, and talent, they have a vested interest in ensuring the success of their location.

Franchising provides direct and indirect economic benefits in communities Every time a new franchise location opens, it creates a positive economic ripple effect in its local community, including new employment opportunities; the purchase of the materials, goods, and services required to operate the business; and the tax base that it creates.

Franchise revenue starts local and stays local Unlike large, corporate-based chains where money spent in one community may ultimately end up in another city, province, or even country, the bulk of the money spent at a franchise location remains in its community and invested in the local area.
