Every franchise system has its own unique characteristics. Consequently, each franchise you may consider purchasing must be examined anew, and may present considerations that are not touched upon in this guide. The CFA hopes that the materials in this guide, combined with your own careful analysis and common sense, will help you achieve your goals and avoid making mistakes in your search for the right franchise business. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information supplied herein and the Canadian Franchise Association cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions.

PUBLISHER’S MESSAGE
I
JOIN THE FRANCHISING COMMUNITY
f you’re interested in franchising as a path to business ownership in Canada, now’s the perfect time to get started. Growing steadily, franchising is the 12th largest industry in the country, employs two million Canadians, and was on pace to contribute $100 billion to the Canadian economy in 2019. The franchise model is appealing to Canadian entrepreneurs, because it allows them to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves with a proven and established franchise concept. By following a proven brand’s operations and procedures, they are well-equipped for success. While individual franchise units represent established or emerging corporate brands, the franchisees behind them are entrepreneurs and small business owners. The difference between franchisees and independent small business owners, however, is that franchisees can turn to a strong network of franchising professionals and other franchisees for education and support. 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 from our more than 700 corporate members, including emerging concepts and iconic brands in more than 50 different categories. In addition to our member listings, the articles in the front of the Directory (pages 20 through 81) provide franchising fundamentals to help you get started, including tips on how to perform proper due diligence before investing in a franchise and the must-know details of franchise financing. 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. The easy-to-use listings (starting on page 85) 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 brands 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. From lawyers to bankers to real estate professionals, you’re not alone in your search! This section of the Directory, starting on page 253, 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 corporate members. As members of the Association, these companies voluntarily pledge to promote excellence in franchising by upholding the CFA Code of Ethics (see page 18 for more details). Beyond this Directory, the CFA offers many other valuable resources that can help you find a franchise system that aligns with your skills, lifestyle, and goals. FranchiseCanada.Online hosts essential franchise resources including our online CFA member directory, informative and inspirational articles, videos, and podcast episodes. Our Franchise Canada tradeshows, held in major cities across Canada, provide the opportunity to meet face to face with both emerging and established CFA member franchises. Canada’s franchising sector is strong and continues to grow. There are more than 76,000 franchise locations across a variety of sectors in communities from coast to coast, run by local business owners who are thriving with help from the franchise community. We hope you use our CFA resources, including the tools and member information contained within this Directory, to make an informed franchise decision, so you can make your dreams of business ownership become a reality through franchising.

The Future of Real Estate
®
Disrupting the industry, one round sign at a time
A New Way to Buy and Sell 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. In Canada alone, they earned billions of dollars in commissions every year. One day, armed with a vision of something better and the power of technology, PropertyGuys.com swooped in and designed a modern alternative to the traditional agent - one that streamlined the process and empowered buyers and sellers. To make the process more efficient they cut out the expensive middleman - creating a flat fee no-commission approach that typically saved the seller 10 times more than if they used an agent.
If you think the idea of transforming the real estate industry sounds like a fairy tale, then you’re probably still using a travel agent to book your flights. Meanwhile, PropertyGuys.com is growing quickly thanks to its franchise operators and the enthusiasm of thousands of early adopters who have become raving fans.
Say Goodbye to Agents “The traditional agent model has become unnecessary and way too expensive for the average person” says Ken LeBlanc, President and CEO of PropertyGuys. com. “We believe that Canadians work hard for their money. That’s why we are transforming every single piece of the puzzle – putting the needs of buyers and sellers above everything else. We do this because when our customers win – our franchisees win too.” Instead of charging commission like traditional agents do (often 5-7 % of the final sale price), PropertyGuys.com franchisees collect an upfront flat fee for their services. That much lower flat fee is based strictly on the types of services that the seller selects.
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.
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 full-service agent seems implausible to you, consider this… 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 the vast potential of a new way before it was too late. PropertyGuys.com is taking advantage of the opportunity that has been opened up by technology and favorable regulatory real estate changes.
With a 20-year track record of growth and success, the brand has established their 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 for entrepreneurs who believe that the real estate industry can be transformed through lower fees (no commission), 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 Netflix got it. PropertyGuys.com gets it. Do you? If you’re ready to stand out from the crowd, they would want to hear from you!
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’ agent 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 puts 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.

CAPITALIZING ON CANNABIS CULTURE Spiritleaf attracts high-quality franchisees with its best-in-class cannabis retail opportunity BY JORDAN WHITEHOUSE
O
n April 1, 2019, at 9 am sharp, the doors to the first cannabis retail store in Kingston, Ontario, opened. Located in the historic Smith-Robinson building, it wasn’t what some customers were expecting. “I didn’t think it would be as modern, bright,” said one woman near the checkout. “It makes you hope other dispensaries will look like this,” said a man outside the limestone building. The company behind it was the Calgary-based franchise Spiritleaf, and far from the tight, dark quarters of some cannabis stores out there, here it’s all about bringing the outdoors in. The white walls, high ceilings, and exposed stone help with that, as do the distressed wood and metal accents. Tablets sit on a table in the middle of the room where customers read product details and reviews. Apron-clad staff roam the cement floors, while a painting of Gord Downie in jean jacket hangs between two paddles, surveying it all.
It’s a similar open, industrialCanadiana feel at all of Spiritleaf’s 40-plus locations in Canada, most of which are in Western Canada. And that reaction to the design from those Kingston customers is what the company is hoping for in a lot more locations across the country. Since launching in March 2017, Spiritleaf has signed more than 100 franchise agreements. Of course, Spiritleaf is also hoping the biggest draws to its stores are the quality of its cannabis and its staff. It helps when you have more locations than most cannabis retail companies out there. “We have an incredible wealth of information at this point,” says Nathan Noble, Spiritleaf’s National Manager of Retail and Training. “And this sharing of information as we continue to open locations and operate has given us the ability to quickly pivot when needed.” That network of information is also one of the biggest benefits to Spiritleaf franchisees, adds Noble, particularly in such a highly regu-
lated industry with so many licensing, advertising, and operating rules. While Canadian cannabis retail sales are expected to top $1 billion for 2019 and $5 billion by 2021, it remains a volatile market where everyone is still trying to figure out how to best grow, distribute, and sell. SEEKING PASSION AND RESILIENCE Dealing with that volatility takes a certain type of person, and that’s who Spiritleaf is looking for in a franchisee, says Noble. “Business experience is important, but really what we’re seeing is that the winners in cannabis retail at the moment are those that are able to roll with the punches. And then you need to be passionate about the plant and what you’re selling, because that trickles down to guest experience.” Passion is one of the first things Noble mentions about Spiritleaf’s president, CEO, and founder, Darren Bondar. Although he got his start in franchising with watch
ADVERTORIAL
company WATCH IT!, Bondar has always been a cannabis enthusiast, says Noble. So much so that a few months after launching Spiritleaf, it became the first cannabis retail business granted membership in the Canadian Franchise Association. By August 2018, it was also the first recreational cannabis company to do an IPO and trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The company believes it’s a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity for franchisees. Getting in requires a $25,000 upfront franchisee fee, a five per cent royalty on gross sales, and a one per cent fee on gross sales for an advertising fund. From there, the Spiritleaf team stays in the franchisee’s corner, helping with everything from leasing a space, to design and buildout, to navigating licensing requirements. Ground zero for that backing is the company’s support centre in Calgary, where new franchisees also go through an intense, one-week training module. Once a store opens, Spiritleaf continues to provide ongoing sales, purchasing, and training support. They also have a few internally developed tools like an online education and communication platform called Spirit Hub where the company can share things like new product information. Employees can also use
“BUSINESS EXPERIENCE IS IMPORTANT, BUT REALLY WHAT WE’RE SEEING IS THAT THE WINNERS IN CANNABIS RETAIL AT THE MOMENT ARE THOSE THAT ARE ABLE TO ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES.” – Nathan Noble, Spiritleaf’s National Manager of Retail and Training
Spirit Hub to educate each other. “We knew that consumers would be looking for quite a bit of information before being comfortable making a purchasing decision. So we developed this with that in mind, but then also understanding that there is a lot of value behind learning from the front lines. And it has proven to be very valuable.” A BRIGHT FUTURE Spiritleaf is on track to have 47 stores open by the end of 2019. Beyond that, Noble says they don’t have specific store number targets, but that they will be looking to maximize their footprint as much as they can across the country. The west will continue to be a focus, but there are some licence caps in Alberta and British Columbia at the moment. The company is also excited about the opportunities that will open up in Ontario as the province’s lottery system continues to play out.
No doubt the recent legalization of cannabis edibles, extracts, and topicals will factor into those growth plans, too. Spiritleaf has said that customers could see a wide range of these products on its shelves in early 2020, including soft drinks, gummies, and vape pens. “We look at it as a great opportunity for guests to experience cannabis in a format that maybe they feel more comfortable with,” says Noble. “But we know that it’s going to require a lot of education, so really what we’re doing right now is focusing on training all of our staff to make sure they’re comfortable with the information.” Noble’s advice for new cannabis retail franchisees looking for success: stay resilient and passionate. “Don’t lose sight of what you’re doing. There are going to be tough days, but it’s like the old saying goes: nothing worth pursuing comes easy. And, most importantly, don’t forget to have some fun along the way.”

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 more than 700 corporate members across the country, including iconic Canadian brands such as Pizza Pizza, M&M Food Market, and McDonald’s Canada.

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 systems 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.

their day-to-day lives, how franchises are fuelling local economic growth and community building is often not top of mind. While individual franchise units represent established or emerging national corporate brands, the franchisees behind them are entrepreneurs and small business owners who often live and work in the communities they serve. As local business owners, franchisees build their teams from within the community, recruiting, hiring, and employing local talent to drive the growth of their franchise unit. This is what the franchise business model and the concept of Growing Together™ is all about.

FRANCHISING 101: An Introduction to Franchising
F
ranchising is an attractive and powerful way for Canadians to 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 advan-
tage 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

What are the key responsibilities of the franchisor?
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 • work in partnership with the franchisor, allowing for effective two-way communication between the two parties and a mutually-beneficial relationship.
While the franchise agreement will outline the specific responsibilities and obligations of the franchisor, there are a few key responsibilities of the franchisor that generally apply in most scenarios. The franchisor should: • undertake to provide franchisees with operating systems and support services to help their businesses grow in ways that are effective, efficient, and profitable; • continue to evolve the franchise system through research and development of new products and services; • handle all brand advertising and (usually) provide franchisees with assistance for their local marketing activities; • protect and manage the brand and its trademarks, while ensuring consistency and quality standards are maintained by all franchisees in the system; and • provide initial and ongoing training and support.

FRANCHISING 101 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 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.

5 Things Smart Franchisees Know about Support Services
When and why you should call in the pros during your franchise search
D
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
32 Canadian Franchise Association
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.

How to Find the Right Franchise Fit
F
ranchising is a great way to achieve the freedom of business ownership, while also being able to rely on the support and guidance provided by the franchisor. This means franchising is the right route for entrepreneurs who want to secure a steady income with relatively low risk, while still having the freedom and satisfaction of independent business ownership. This is possible when you invest in a business that’s part of a solid franchise concept, with a proven brand and history of success. The first, and arguably most critical, step in making a franchise purchase is determining which franchise system will be the right fit for you. With hundreds of different available franchise opportunities, you’ll have your work cut out for you in narrowing the options down to those that will be best suited to your specific skill set and aspirations. Gary Prenevost, President of FranNet, Southern Ontario, and Eastern Canada suggests starting this search process by determining what you can bring to the franchising table. “It’s really important that people start by building their own ‘ideal business model,’ which will identify their core skills, interests, and abilities; the resources they can bring to the business, including time and money; and the short-term and long-term financial and lifestyle goals they want to achieve through business ownership.” NARROWING YOUR SEARCH Breaking it down, to build your ideal business model and find a suitable franchise match, you will need to: 1. Assess your abilities and interests. Before you even start looking into specific franchise opportunities, you should carry out a self-assessment to identify your strengths and weaknesses. This will help you decide whether a franchise system will be best suited to your particular needs and abilities. Take stock of the qualities, education, experience, and skills (organizational, leadership, etc.) you can bring to a franchise business. Take the time to strongly consider your passions, so you can translate this passion into business success. For example, if you love animals, you may want to consider a pet grooming franchise. You should also rule out franchises based on these passions; if there’s something you don’t have any interest in doing, you can remove it from your list right away. It’s important for
34 Canadian Franchise Association
you to be passionate about the franchise and the sector it inhabits, as you’ll be investing a great deal of time, work, and money into this business, especially during the initial six months. 2. Come up with a short list. With your self-evaluation in mind, you’ll want to create a short list of franchise systems that you want to investigate further. When coming up with this list, remember to be open to different types of opportunities, considering a variety of industries and investment levels before narrowing down your selection. To help these franchises get to know you, you should fill out an application form that will help them learn what assets you can bring to their system. The form will likely ask for your name and contact details, along with background information such as past experience, skills, and financial details. All franchises should be judged based on how well they line up with your goals, preferences, wants, and needs.
www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online
HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT FRANCHISE FIT 3. Evaluate your finances, and set goals. Before you plunge too deeply into your franchise search, you should also be sure to draft a business plan, outlining your career path and short-term and long-term financial goals. You’ll also need to take a hard look at your current financial situation – you’ll need to determine your net worth and assess whether your assets are readily available (unencumbered) or tied up in other assets. An accountant who specializes in franchising can help you evaluate your finances to determine whether you have the resources you need to finance the opportunities on your list. 4. Conduct thorough research. Once you’ve completed this self-assessment, it’s time to move on to the research stage. “You should begin by looking at two to four franchise options that fit your model, as this will enable you to gain a deeper understanding of which business would be the best fit (versus only looking at one at a time),” explains Prenevost. When researching the few franchises that meet your goals, ambitions, and ideal business model, you should follow a number of steps. During the first two to three weeks, you should learn as much as possible about the franchise. You should be in frequent communication with the franchisor, and should receive information such as marketing material, the franchise agreement, and disclosure documents. By the end of these first weeks, you should completely understand your duties and respon-
sibilities as a franchisee, along with the standards you’ll be expected to meet. Once you’ve completed the initial research phase and have narrowed down your franchise options, you can move on to the next steps of the research process, where you will review the franchisor material and become fully immersed in the due diligence process, which includes meeting with the franchisor, current franchisees in the system, and franchise professionals. 5. Remember to take your time. Before you move on, remember that when you’ve found the franchise options that speak to you, it can be easy to get caught up in the process. You may want to get through the steps as quickly as possible so you can get down to operating your franchise business, but Prenevost advises that no matter what, you should take your time to do it right. “Do not rush this process! You should allow yourself eight to 12 weeks of active research (10 to 15 hours per week) in order to reach the level of understanding you need. You should also involve your spouse/partner in the research process as much as possible, even if they are not going to be involved in operating the business.” Turn to page 41 to find the Due Diligence Checklist, which will take you through the next critical steps of the purchase process.

Financing Your Franchise
Know your options when it comes to getting a loan to start your business BY KAREN STEVENS
A
fter the initial excitement of learning about the multitude of franchise opportunities out there, it’s important to seriously consider all of the financial details so that you can sign on that dotted line with confidence. Among the myriad of questions to consider, how you’re going to finance your franchise is probably at the top of the list. There are many financing options for franchisees who want to take out a loan for their business, from borrowing from family to getting a loan from a not-for-profit organization, to government loan programs. Here, Franchise Canada takes a look at some of the options out there that are available to prospective franchises, beyond borrowing from the bank. All in the family For many people, securing a loan from a family member is one of the first options they think of. It just makes sense: both you and that family member are invested in your future, and you can work together to dictate the terms of the loan. Sabrina Callaway, a litigator with the firm Sotos LLP, agrees that many people do seek funding from friends and family. “Especially the millennials, or those who don’t have assets to support traditional financing,” she says. It’s hard for these younger would-be business owners to secure a loan, since it’s less likely that they have collateral. “There’s been a trend lately in millennials purchasing franchises. A lot of millennials are fresh out of college. They are burdened with debt and don’t necessarily have the assets to back the franchise and get it off the ground,” Callaway explains. While borrowing from family members is a popular option, Callaway cautions that with such an arrangement, there are some vital things a franchisee needs to
be aware of. “What we find as lawyers is that it’s quite easy to accept money from people, but eventually they’re going to want it back,” she says. “It’s important to have some kind of loan agreement or promissory note that sets out the terms of how you’re going to pay this back.” This note should include the payment terms along with the defined payment period. Franchisees should also think very carefully about the implications of the loan, and about whether or not their repayment plan is realistic before moving forward. Callaway also notes that franchisees have a number of options, especially when joining a larger system. “If they can’t get financing through the traditional routes, they should see what the franchisor has to offer. Occasionally franchisors will give loans to the franchisees, or it might come from someone else in the system, like a shareholder.” If this is the situation, sometimes the franchisor might perform a credit check on the potential franchisee. She also says that many franchisors also have connections with some of the banks, which may mean that a prospective franchisee can have a different agreement set up with a favourable interest rate. One final piece of advice from Callaway is to consider how much money you’ll actually need. “The franchise disclosure document will often list start-up costs, but that doesn’t give insight into how much cash flow you’ll need or the burn rate of the business. It would be a good idea in the 14-day period between disclosure and the signing of the franchise agreement to consult with a business consultant who will set up a business plan,” she advises. “That business plan will show you what you need to run the business profitably and what you can expect in terms of revenue going forward.” Armed with that knowledge, the franchisee can then make informed decisions about loans.

FINANCING YOUR FRANCHISE Organizations nurturing entrepreneurship Not-for-profit organizations are also an excellent source of loans for potential franchisees. In particular, Futurpreneur Canada is a national notfor-profit that works with 18- to 39-year-olds. They provide business resources, such as start-up resources, financing, and mentorship for entrepreneurs all over the country. “We provide a ton of online resources free of charge that include business startup resources that are from all differ sectors and specialties – not just from Futurpreneur but from other partners as well,” explains Scott Bowman, senior director of Futurpreneur in Ontario. “Beyond the resources, we provide up to $45,000 in a no-collateral, no-equity loan,” Bowman explains. The first $15,000 of this loan comes from Futurpreneur’s own loan portfolio. Then, you’re automatically eligible to be considered for up to another $30,000 through the Business Development Centre (BDC). “It’s based on the strength of the business plan,” he explains. A big benefit of the Futurpreneur program, for young people in particular, is the unsecured loan. “Maybe they’re just coming out of school and they have a student loan, but they still have this big dream of owning a business,” says Bowman. He goes on to say that while it

“Talk to some of the franchisees and do research on what the business’s track record is and its reputation.” is unsecured lending, they do perform a credit check to ensure the applicant has reasonably good credit. Bowman says that he’s seen a variety of prospective franchisees come through the door of the Futurpreneur program, including from Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) members Pita Pit and THE TEN SPOT. “Most people that come to us pay the franchise fee with our financing,” he explains. “Owning a franchise is still owning a business: you still have the same struggles, you just might have more support.”

Bowman recommends that you perform thorough research on the franchise that you’re interested in. “Talk to some of the franchisees and do research on what the business’s track record is and its reputation,” he says. “Do they [the franchisor] provide you with financial information that you can take to an accountant or another funder?” He also suggests performing a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, and understanding your competition. “Really doing your due diligence is really important for the potential franchisee,” he states. While Futurpreneur’s business plan writer and cash flow template aren’t specific to only the franchise model, they are extremely helpful for planning out exactly how much money you’ll need. “If you don’t understand the costs beyond the franchise fee it will be tougher for you to get funding from others,” explains Bowman. “You might be able to get funding from Futurpreneur that’s great, but you’re going to need more money for capital expenses, etc.” Government funding The Government of Canada offers a number of resources available to those looking to finance a new business.
A great place to start is www.canada.ca/en/services/ business/grants. Here, you’ll find a comprehensive list of all of the government financing programs, public funds and grants, and non-governmental communitybased and private sector organizations that provide funding. You can also learn about important topics such as loans and capital investments, wage subsidies, plus resources for managing your finances and more. The Canada Small Business Financing program provides loans for new and existing businesses by partnering with financial institutions and sharing in the risk. The loans can be up to $1,000,000, depending on the arrangement between the borrower and the lender, and a maximum of $350,000 of that can be used towards the purchase and improvement of equipment and property. There are also other restrictions on what the money can be used for; it can’t be used for certain expenses such as inventory or your franchise fee. For these small business loans, there is a small registration fee, which comes out to two per cent of the entire loan. The interest rate depends on the provider, and there may be lender fees as well. You can secure your small business loan at most financial institutions, as many have chosen to participate in the program.

DUE DILIGENCE CHECKLIST
W
hen you invest in a franchise, it’s important to keep in mind that you’re investing more than just money – you’re also investing your time, passion, and hard work. With the resources required to start and maintain your franchise venture, you’ll want to have a complete picture of the franchise opportunity before you sign on the dotted line of the franchise agreement. That’s where due diligence comes in. Lyn Little, Senior Manager, Audit and Assurance with BDO Canada LLP, says the due diligence process also allows prospective franchisees to determine whether they will be investing in a bona fide franchise opportunity, with all legal and financial requirements in order. “It is important for a prospective franchisee to conduct proper due diligence, as this may allow the franchisee to identify potential red flags of the business, or indicators which may suggest that the franchisee should look at an alternate franchise system, or request reductions in the franchise fees, royalties, or other fees to the franchisor,” says Little. When you’ve checked off every item on the following list, you should be ready to make an informed decision and be prepared to invest in the perfect franchise opportunity for you. Don’t forget to ask lots of questions, so everything is as clear as possible at every step of the investment process. For questions to ask the different people you’ll meet along the way, consult the Checklist for Franchisees on page 46.
Research the franchise system. As outlined in the “How to Find the Right Franchise Fit” article (see page 34), you should undergo a self-assessment, outlining your skills, assets, and abilities, before looking into specific franchise opportunities. Once you have a good idea of what you can contribute to your franchise business, you can create a short list of franchise systems that you want to research further. These systems should take the aforementioned strengths and abilities into consideration, along with your interests and passions. You can start by heading online to review the system’s franchise website and any other information about the system available online. You can also conduct this research in-person by attending a franchisespecific tradeshow, where you can meet and speak with representatives of the franchise system, and/or by visiting one of the brand’s established franchise locations so you can see firsthand how the franchise operates in its market. Some key factors to look for when researching franchise systems include franchisee selection, training, communications, marketing, problem-solving, rewards, and corporate culture. You’ll also want to evaluate the market, taking consumer demand, location, resale value, whether it’s an established or new and emerging system (and the pros and cons of each), and whether it’s a resale location into consideration.
Franchise Canada Directory 2020 41
DUE DILIGENCE CHECKLIST Submit a completed franchisee application form to the franchise system. Once you’ve started researching specific franchise systems, you can fill out and submit a franchise application form, which will provide the franchisor with important details about your background and experience, your financial information, and the skills you have to offer. Keep in mind that as you’re conducting your due diligence, the franchise system will also be carrying out their own research to determine whether, based on their experience, you’ll be a good fit as a franchisee of their system. Meet with current franchisees of the franchise system. “You will want to talk to eight to 10 existing franchisees of the franchise concept that you’re most interested in. You will want to learn, from their perspective, what is required to drive success. You will also want to know a lot about their relationship with their franchisor,” advises Gary Prenevost, President of FranNet, Southern Ontario and Eastern Canada. These franchisees should have different levels of experience, and should be chosen from franchise locations at different performance levels.
42 Canadian Franchise Association
Meet with franchise system representatives (attend a Discovery Day). You’ll get to this stage if you’re almost ready to make a purchase. You should be prepared to fly to the franchisor’s head office for a Discovery Day, where you’ll meet with their leadership team and get a final sense of whether the culture will be a good fit. “Essentially, you are going there to look for reasons to say ‘no’ and hope that you don’t find any. You will not make a purchase decision while you are there, but usually within one to three weeks after you return, you should be ready to sign a franchise contract and pay the initial franchise fee,” explains Prenevost. Most established franchisors have a franchise review process in place that clearly defines their practices and procedures to help prospective franchisees make informed decisions, so you can follow this process, asking any questions that come up along the way. Build a comprehensive business plan. A business plan lays out the goals of your franchise business, providing banks, investors, and lenders with an idea of the scope and specifications of the project in which you’re investing. This plan should include cash
www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online
DUE DILIGENCE CHECKLIST flow projections for the first three to five years your franchise will be in business, outlining the earning potential of your location and the strategy for achieving these goals. Your business plan should start with a summary of the franchise you intend to purchase, including essential background information about the franchisor and their track record. The financial section of the business plan should include your personal financial information, along with financial projections for your franchise. A realistic budget should also be provided, with details about the cash flow projections and profit and loss forecasts. The business plan should also analyze the marketplace, and should contain information about the products and services you will be providing, consumer demand, and the customers who will be looking for these products and/ or services. Consult with franchise professionals. As you contemplate your franchise investment decision, you’ll want to enlist the help of franchise professionals, who can provide you with the guidance you need to make the right decision.
A franchise consultant can help you identify your objectives as you carry out a self-assessment, help you understand the franchisee/franchisor relationship, introduce franchise opportunities that you may not have considered, assist in evaluating and analyzing opportunities, and introduce you to other franchise experts. A franchise accountant can help you pinpoint the profitability of the venture, and can also help you calculate the start-up cost, assist you in reviewing documents from the franchisor, advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of a franchise investment opportunity, and help you put together your business plan. “In preparing to purchase a franchise, the prospective franchisee should look at fixed and variable costs to determine the break-even sales figure required to turn a profit. Understanding this figure, and the prospective market the franchisee will operate in, will allow the franchisee to determine whether the franchise location has the potential to generate sufficient revenues to cover costs,” notes Little of BDO.

DUE DILIGENCE CHECKLIST A representative from the franchising division of a bank can help you determine the financing plan that works best for you and your business, providing financial solutions that are tailored specifically to your franchising situation. A franchise banker can also be an asset when it comes to figuring out your financing requirements so you will be able to sustain your business in the long term. It’s also critical for prospective franchisees to enlist the services of a franchise lawyer, who can explain and elaborate on the details of the franchise agreement, and review and explain the disclosure document, specifically outlining what each party is expected to provide. A franchise lawyer can also help in negotiating any terms or conditions of the franchise agreement as required. Review the franchise disclosure document. In addition to speaking with the franchisor, existing franchisees, and franchise professionals, prospective franchisees should receive a franchise disclosure document once they reach a certain point in their investigation.

process, disclosure documents contain a summary of information on the franchisor, its executive team, and its franchise agreements. In Canada, franchise systems are required by law to provide a disclosure document to prospective franchisees in provinces where franchise legislation is in place (currently British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island). It’s important to fully review the disclosure document with your franchise lawyer and financial advisors to ensure that you understand the information it contains, including your obligations as a franchisee. Trust your own judgment. Ultimately, you will be the owner-operator of your franchise system, so it’s essential that you be the one to make the final decision before signing the franchise agreement. “Do not allow yourself to be sold or unsold by anyone else. Rely solely on your own research and make a decision to proceed only when you can justify how and why this business meets your criteria, and why you know you will be successful at running it (or to eliminate the opportunity when you can logically identify why it’s not right for you),” cautions Prenevost.

Investing in a franchise is a major investment decision, and not every franchise will be the right fit for you. That’s why it’s important to ask the following questions if you’re considering the purchase of a franchise.

SUCCESS STORIES: The Faces of Canadian Franchising Meet some of the thriving franchisees who have achieved success with the franchise model
Margaret Hammond, Merry Maids
A typical day for Margaret Hammond is not always so typical. Every now and then, Hammond likes to shake things up, sprinkling the morning huddle (where staff meet to get the day’s cleaning assignments) with some humour. “Sometimes we find a fun video to watch or put a joke up on the screen,” she says. “We just try to find ways to put smiles on their faces before they leave for the day.” Hammond and her team are part of Merry Maids, a 74-franchise license enterprise known for delivering value to its customers, including busy families, seniors, or people who need assisted living. Through its exceptional care and award-winning cleaning systems, Merry Maids provides its hundreds of clients freedom from household chores, which in turn gives them the freedom to prioritize the things most important to them. Hammond took the reins of the Merry Maids franchise in Mississauga, Ontario, back in 1999, at which point she’d been working for the previous Merry Maids’ owner for four years. And she loved it. She was a trusted in-home professional who (like the maids that are part of her team today) was tasked with the unique responsibility of leaving every home she serviced better off
Franchise Canada Directory 2020 51
SUCCESS STORIES than how she found it. But more than that she was part of community of people who forged memorable connections with their clients and equally strong ties with their teammates: “It felt more like a family than a job.” So when the previous owners were looking to sell that year, Hammond didn’t hesitate to jump on the opportunity. She went from maid to business owner only a few months later. “I absolutely love my job, which is why I started with them from the bottom and worked my way up.” Now with nearly 20 years behind her, she’s at the height of her career. And given Merry Maids’ proven system, Hammond’s only advice for anyone looking to achieve the same success is simple: follow the system to a T. “Merry Maids has been around for more than 35 years and they have tons of Merry Maids owners out there,” says Hammond. “I was never someone who was trying to reinvent the wheel, so for me it was pretty much A-B-C.” With one caveat. Operating a franchise successfully also takes time, dedication and commitment. Humble, hard-working, and passionate, for the past two decades, Hammond has done just that: “My attention to business has never changed in that I still oversee everything and remain very active in the business.” While Hammond’s passion for the business remains stronger than ever, the role she plays today looks quite different. “When I first started the business, I was wearing every hat.” Fast forward to 2018 and her team has expanded, blooming into a robust staff of dedicated maids who help people in need. But as much as Merry Maids is about showing up for people who need it, Hammond is quick to credit the Merry Maid franchisors for the support they give her too. When Hammond needs a hand, she knows that help is just a phone call or short drive away.

Jody Anderlich, Lice Squad.com
The first time Jody Anderlich heard about LiceSquad.com was when one of her six kids had lice. “At the time I was providing foster care for four girls and I have two boys of my own. One of the kids had lice and it slowly spread to the rest of the family. Needless to say, I was quite upset about the situation,” recalls Anderlich. But as soon as she and her children entered a LiceSquad.com clinic, she was put at ease. The consultants gave Anderlich’s kids complete lice removal treatment, along with guidance and preventative information, all while being friendly and reassuring. In fact, Anderlich left the clinic feeling so empowered that day that she couldn’t help but wonder, “why doesn’t my community have a LiceSquad.com of its own?” In 2017, soon after Anderlich’s initial LiceSquad.com visit, and after a few weeks of training, which involved a crash course in lice removal methods and products, she opened Brampton’s first LiceSquad.com franchise. For Anderlich, becoming her own boss didn’t happen overnight. It’s taken nearly 20 years of work, 10 of which were solely dedicated to gaining experience in the franchising industry. Throughout that time, she laid the groundwork needed for successful business ownership. “I have two subcontractors and one person on staff and I always ensure that I take their input into my decisions,” Anderlich says on the strategies she implements to foster the tightly knit team she has today. “I’m never going to learn anything if I think I’m the smartest person in the room. You’ve got to have humility and you’ve got to be willing to get your hands dirty just like everybody else.” This is why in the nascent stages of her business exploration, rather than launching a start-up alone, Anderlich decided to invest in a franchise with a strong support system. With over 17 years creating clean, safe,

SUCCESS STORIES and child-friendly environments for their customers, Lice Squad.com not only has a business model that works, but one that provides superior support for their franchisees too. “I never feel alone in the business,” says Anderlich. “Franchisees are always kept up to date. They share strategies that are successful so that we can implement them into our clinic and then they also share what hasn’t worked so we know what to avoid too.” This is not to say that there haven’t been days when she’s felt overwhelmed. On top of juggling her other roles as a wife and mother, for the first six months, she was running the business on her own. “You have to make a mental and emotional transition before making a physical one because you’re working for yourself and it’s scary,” she says. “I went through a lot of internal dialogue beforehand: ‘If this situation comes up, how am I going to work through that?’” While many more stumbling blocks may be encountered in the future, if Anderlich had to start a franchise business all over again, she would choose LiceSquad.com every time. “There’s definitely a heightened sense of satisfaction when it’s your own business, when you can see every effort that you put in is coming right back to you. It has been a truly positive and rewarding experience.”
Cotie Drinkwater, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK CANADA If there’s one thing that sealed the deal for prospective franchisee Cotie Drinkwater when he was considering investing in a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK Canada franchise, it was the people.
“The company culture was something I’d never seen before,” he boasts. “I had never seen so many people so happy to be at work.” Fast forward nearly six years and the millennial franchisee is the proud owner of a TWO MEN AND TRUCK franchise in St. Catharines, Ontario that serves the entire Niagara Region. Typical of any young first-time business owner, the nerves were present for Drinkwater when he opened his first TWO MEN AND A TRUCK franchise in the spring of 2013 at the age of 25, smack dab in the middle of moving season. As a millennial, proving that he belonged among the seasoned franchisees proved to be one of the larg-

SUCCESS STORIES est hurdles Drinkwater faced. “You overcome challenges by working harder at them,” Drinkwater says. “You have to understand where your weaknesses are and work on them. For me personally, I didn’t want to let anyone down. I wanted to persevere.” And he did just that. Soon after opening, Drinkwater’s location ran three consecutive years with the highest customer service rating, getting the attention of home office and his fellow franchise partners. Gaining trust from his fellow franchise partners wasn’t the only thing Drinkwater set out to accomplish. The franchisee can feel good knowing he has made his family proud too. Drinkwater is North American Mohawk, part of the Bear Clan from the Six Nations of the Grand River. Located on the Ohsweken Reserve in Ontario, the Six Nations of the Grand River is the largest First Nations reserve in Canada by population, and the second largest reserve by size. “My indigenous heritage has taught me to dig deep, work hard, and not give up as a businessperson, husband or father,” Drinkwater says. “I know I would not be in business without the financial, inspirational, and emotional support of my family. They have always showed confidence in my ability to run my business and are committed to my success.” As he heads into his sixth year as a franchisee, Drinkwater says the company’s culture is still one of the best in the franchising industry. “They promote a culture that encourages you to reach out to anyone, franchisees included,” he explains. “I’m pretty friendly with all of the Canadian franchise partners and I talk to many of them every month. It would be unwise for me not to. Communication opens doors and creates new business connections.” Looking to the future, Drinkwater is enthusiastic about helping the brand grow across the country. And as a millennial in the business, he has lots of time to do just that. “Time is on my side,” he says. “Investing in a franchise at a young age means you have time to learn, time to keep re-investing, and time to figure things out.” Still, being young doesn’t mean you have all the answers. “Don’t ever think you’re doing something perfect,” Drinkwater warns. “There’s always something better you can do to grow your business, so listen to the people around you.”

Hendrik Botha, Nurse Next Door
Before Hendrik Botha even began his franchise research, he knew one thing for certain: if he was going to invest in a franchise, it had to be with a company whose mission was to help others in need. “I knew as an entrepreneur, whatever business I was going to get myself into, was going to consist of long hours and late nights for me to be successful,” he says. “That’s why I wanted to find a business where, if I had to work those long hours, I would be doing something meaningful.” Enter Nurse Next Door. With a belief that seniors can stay at home with the right care, Nurse Next Door is dedicated to finding the perfect caregiver for their aging clients and to bringing “Happier Aging” to the forefront of care. The franchise’s feel-good motto is a selling point for clients and investors alike, and was the deciding factor for Botha when he invested in the franchise in 2016. Today, the South Africa-born franchisee is using his status with Nurse Next Door to give seniors and their families a relaxing and stress-free transition into home-care services throughout his Halifax, Nova Scotia community. Botha will be the first to tell you that his responsibilities as a small business owner are much different today compared to when he first opened his Nurse Next Door location. “When I first started, I never worked so hard in my life,” he says. “It was crazy hours, but that’s the thing about starting a business. It requires a lot out of you, but it’s to be expected because everybody warns you about it.” Today, things are a little different. As Botha’s Nurse Next Door franchise grew, he was able to hire additional staff, and with 50 nurses and caregivers on staff, Botha
www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online
SUCCESS STORIES says he is now in a position where he can focus on business development. “I have people who can work in my business while I work on my business,” Botha explains. “My role really went from doing the actual work to growing our clientele, working on marketing campaigns, and training and managing my staff to ensure they have all the tools they need to help us succeed and continue to grow.” Botha says recruiting nurses is the most important and challenging aspect of his role as a franchisee, especially in Nova Scotia, where there is a nursing shortage throughout the province. Though this specific staffing challenge may not apply to all Nurse Next Door franchisees, Botha says no matter what the challenge, the franchise provides its franchisees with the support they need to find success, specifically through their 24/7 call centre. If you ask Botha what it takes to find success with Nurse Next Door, he’ll say first and foremost you must have a calling for entrepreneurship and an innate knack and passion for caring for others. Ultimately though, he says what helped him succeed was reaching out to as many Nurse Next Door franchisees as possible. “I found great value in talking to other franchise partners,” he says. “But it’s important to not just talk to the franchisees that are doing well. You should be talking to everyone, even the ones who aren’t as successful. This will help you form a picture of what your life could look like as a franchisee. Then you can make an informed decision about whether you want to invest.” Amber Shah, KKP KKP franchisee Amber Shah began her career in banking with HSBC, moving up within the company very quickly
before taking on a position at Deloitte as part of their Knowledge Management team. With all of that finance experience behind her, she says, “I became absorbed by the idea of owning a business. Buying a franchise was a viable alternative to starting my own business. I knew that my husband and I were destined for something bigger and better.” The pair began talking to owners of various franchises, from food service to shipping services looking for the ideal fit. “We chanced upon an ad for a printing company, called Kwik Kopy at the time, for sale in North York,” Shah shares. After doing her due diligence, including a competitive analysis, looking into other businesses in the neighbourhood, and speaking with other KKP owners, Shah saw a lot of growth potential in the North York store and
Franchise Canada Directory 2020 55
SUCCESS STORIES decided to buy it. “It made more sense to buy a franchise that offered resources and vendor relationships that would not have been available to us had we purchased an independent storefront,” she says. With all of the support and resources available from the KKP franchise system, they were quickly able to turn around an underperforming store. KKP provides business solutions to businesses, organizations, and non-profits. In their first year, Shah and her husband focused primarily on extending their store’s product offerings to their existing clientele and providing exceptional customer service. They also overhauled the aesthetic of the storefront, bringing it into line with industry best practices. They hired new staff, updated their equipment, and learned how to adapt the resources they had to better serve their clients. “In any business,” Shah notes, “to be successful, you must strive to always be improving and building a better, smarter company. We gradually diversified into signage, mailings, promotional products, and specialized niche jobs. Every quarter we set measurable goals for improvement and closely tracked our performance.” As first-time franchisees, the couple were nervous, but they knew they were willing to put in the work and that they had the support of their franchisor. “If this were a standalone store, I would have had a hard time figuring it all out,” Shah shares. “The kind of support we receive from the head office on all fronts is tremendous. And the rapport with other franchisees is great. It’s like a family. Everyone is happy to help.”
“Our number one goal is growth,” Shah says, looking to the future, “and franchising offers some of the greatest benefits of any expansion strategy. We were able to go from the bottom of the sales ladder to 11th out of all Marketing and Print Division centres in Canada.” Focusing on supporting their community, brand recognition, and continuous learning has been invaluable in this successful growth. “Passion is also key. Success takes time and a lot of hard work, determination, and commitment. The fire inside will get you through the difficult times,” Shah offers. “At the end of the day, entrepreneurship is risky, and it takes time to build a business. Franchising just makes it a little easier to be successful more quickly,” Shah continues. “The risk of business failure is significantly reduced with franchising. We checked how successful other franchises were before we committed ourselves.”

No two days are alike for award-winning Triple O’s franchisee Teresa Troock. Some days, she’s up early at her Surrey, British Columbia restaurant helping employees serve guests. Other days, she’s doing everything from setting big business goals to researching market trends to ensuring that her restaurant is running smoothly. But if you asked Troock what she thought a future typical day would look like when she first started working in the hospitality industry, it would be completely different. Back then, she worked as a manager for McDonald’s. Then one of her friends, a Chevron gas station and Triple O’s retailer, suggested she too look into operating a Chevron and Triple O’s location.

SUCCESS STORIES her own Triple O’s restaurant. Triple O’s, launched in 1997 by British Columbia’s White Spot brand, is a premium quick service restaurant concept, known for its premium burgers, fresh-cut fries, hand-scooped milkshakes, and secret Triple “O” sauce. Troock remembers it as one of the best days of her life. “My husband and I were at the home office signing the franchise agreement, but little did we know that all the staff at the office were gathering together. When we left the room, the president of White Spot rang a bell and introduced us to the group as the newest Triple O’s franchisees,” says Troock. “I had to try and hold back tears. It was such an amazing feeling. I’ve never had anyone recognize me in that way. I truly felt on top of the world.” Three years later, and Troock still experiences this kind of euphoria on a regular basis, in spite of some of the challenges she encounters as a business owner. Now her greatest obstacle is managing a range of staff from a myriad of backgrounds and demographics. “We constantly have to change our management style to find what motivates each employee,” notes Troock. That said, it’s a challenge that Troock’s extensive background in the quick service industry has prepared her for. As she puts it, “as a leader, you have to be willing to adapt to all sorts of situations.” At Triple O’s annual conference, Troock received the company’s most prestigious award, and was named a Nat’s All-Star. The award, named after the company’s founder, Nat Bailey, honours Triple O’s operators (franchise or corporate) who achieve the best business
results in their restaurants. She didn’t win this award once; she’s won it two years in a row. When asked about the secret sauce to her success, Troock boils it down to a few key ingredients. “We do our best to run a really top-notch operation, provide great customer experience, and prioritize cleanliness.” She says the franchisor is all about support, initial and ongoing. “You don’t just start, and they leave you or ignore you. They really want you to succeed, to be successful, and to overcome any obstacles that come your way,” says Troock. While she’s had to go through a tremendous learning curve, the support has made her investment in a Triple O’s franchise a decision she never regrets. “It has not only been rewarding financially, but personally,” says Troock. “I now have the time to achieve my personal bucket list.”

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, Franchise Canada gives 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.
58 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.

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

4 Benefits of Franchising Your Business
A
s a successful entrepreneur, you’ve built up a booming business. Now you may be wondering: what’s next? How can I grow my venture even bigger? The franchise business model may just be your answer. In order to franchise your business, you must have a successful business concept. Luckily, franchises may be found in virtually every business category and sector. And, so long as it may be demonstrated that the business and its success can be replicated in a new location, it can be franchised. The success of a business can sometimes be dependent upon factors that are specifically unique to it, such as its location or the staff. Expanding to a second location as a corporate initiative first and then monitoring how well it fares is one way to ‘test the waters’ before diving head-first into the franchise business model. If you’re dipping your toes into franchising, you’ll want to research the ins and outs of building a franchise system so you can approach it with a solid base of knowledge. Here, we outline four significant benefits of franchising your business. 1. Leverage franchisee investment. Many businesses and business people have the urge to expand as quickly as possible through rapid corpo-
62 Canadian Franchise Association
rate expansion, without much thought as to the consequences. Reaching over-saturation in every market until there’s an outpost of your brand on every street corner might seem like a brilliant and lofty goal. Ultimately, though, this kind of fast-track expansion has the potential to weaken, not strengthen, your brand, and could be quite costly, as well. With the franchise business model, you’re growing with franchisees, who are similarly-minded business people working in partnership with your company. Through the franchise fee and other royalties and fees, you can expand into new markets through franchisee investment, ensuring that each new location is properly financed and that there aren’t other locations situated too close that could ‘cannibalize’ market share. 2. Enter new markets with a local connection. You probably know a lot about your original market. You’ve created a successful business, so you’re most likely aware of what local consumers are interested in and looking for. Could you say the same, though, about the next neighbourhood, the next town, or the next province over from yours? Chances are, the further you expand beyond your home market, the less
www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online
4 BENEFITS OF FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS firsthand familiarity you’ll have with the makeup of the market (demographics, cultural details, spending preferences, etc.). Having a locally-based franchisee in new markets gives your brand immediate insight into all of this, and more. Not only will a local franchisee know their market quite intimately, they may already have established contacts and connections that will serve them and the brand well. 3. Franchisees have a vested interest. By investing a variety of their resources – including money, time, and energy – franchisees have a greater stake in the success of their location. Though corporately-operated locations may boast a dedicated and enthusiastic staff, a franchisee has a more vested interest in creating and maintaining a high level of consistency, customer service, and quality products – all things that make customers and clients loyal to a brand or location. As small business owner-operators, franchisees have completed the training and have the know-how and drive to succeed, which is backed up by the valuable support provided by you as the franchisor.
4. Increased distribution points may mean increased sales. Not only are you building your company through franchising, you’re also building buzz about your brand. Grand openings, new markets, expanded advertising – it can all lead to an increase for everyone’s bottom line. More points of distribution can mean more of your product in people’s hands, or more clients signing on for your services. Once you add a few franchise locations to your system and reach higher sales levels, this could lead to other benefits, too, such as volume deals with your suppliers. Of course, these are just a few of the many benefits that franchising can bring to your established business. As with any undertaking that will bring about major changes to your company, you’ll want to fully investigate and evaluate the business model. Once you decide that franchising is the right strategic option, seek out and assemble a team of franchise professionals. These experts, including lawyers and accountants, will discuss your franchise objectives with you, and assist you in creating a custom plan to get your new system ready for you to jump into franchising with both feet.

FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS:
A CHECKLIST
A
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, a way to provide even better quality and value to customers and clients. They are 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. 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
64 Canadian Franchise Association
markets and, with proper training and guidance, can be implemented exactly by someone else. A desire to work with other entrepreneurs. In order to have established 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, 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
www.cfa.ca | www.FranchiseCanada.Online
FRANCHISING YOUR BUSINESS: A CHECKLIST 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 franchisespecific 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 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. 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.
Franchise Canada Directory 2020 67
FRANCHISE MATTERS 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 brand and branding, as well as the support provided to help franchisees stay within brand guidelines, such as marketing materials created by the franchisor. 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 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, personalitywise, 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
FRANCHISE MATTERS 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. 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.
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.
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 There are many reasons more than 700 Canadians have make sure the people you invested in a Jani-King Commercial Cleaning Franchise. want to target show up.

FRANCHISE MATTERS 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.

FRANCHISE MATTERS 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 so many 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 creating outstanding consumer experiences and receiving 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 mutuallyrewarding 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 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 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 LEGAL MATTERS
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: • Background 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, Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and British Columbia 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
74 Canadian Franchise Association
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 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.

FRANCHISE LEGAL MATTERS 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 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

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

Q A
ASK A FINANCE EXPERT
How do I prepare for ALL phases of franchise ownership? IF YOU WANT TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS, a franchise can be a great way to increase your chances of success. As a franchisee in a major network, you can expect to benefit from professional marketing, national advertising, specialized training, and centralized purchasing. As well, you are statistically more likely to succeed with a well-established franchise than with a nonfranchised independent business. To get started, it’s important to have a holistic view of the franchise experience – including what you need to know at the beginning all the way to what is needed to sell. Where to start At the beginning, you will need to have a strong handle on your credit score history. Almost anyone starting a business will need to borrow in some way, so understanding this element of starting a franchise is a vital step. Ensure there are no discrepancies; if there are any issues, work as best as you can to resolve them. You will also need to make sure your personal finances are in order; consider that you may not be able to rely on the business for income in the first few years of operation. Being prepared is essential. How to succeed When choosing a franchise, prospective franchisees often consider growth potential. Fundamental to this choice is an understanding that a franchise will always, at least in part, be dependent on the franchise brand. Look for a franchise that’s a good fit for you. Do your research! See what the media is writing about the franchise, speak with customers, and visit existing locations. Make sure you find a business model that you’re eager to commit to. Longevity represents another vital trait to consider for a franchise. Some franchises pop up based on the latest consumer trends; they may well have excellent business models, but they won’t succeed without a sustained consumer appetite. Do your market research to ensure you are becoming a franchisee in a business with a longterm future. You also need to consider the implications of hiring staff; this requires an understanding of human resources and payroll practices. When you set up your franchise business, you can make use of the payroll services that many banks provide to accommodate small enterprises and start-ups. As your company grows, you can transition to a payroll company – doing so provides the benefit of freeing up time for you and your staff to concentrate on actual business operations.
You also need to consider ways of keeping your staff happy. Talent retention can be a challenge, especially for a new and growing business. Do what you can to keep your team engaged; this leads to staff who are more loyal and invested in the company, which helps keep turnover to a minimum. Closing the door on your franchise Finally, you need to consider the end of your ownership. While it’s understandable that selling your franchise is the last thing on your mind when you’re setting it up, seeing the whole journey of ownership – including its end – must be an integral part of your business plan. As part of your search for a franchise network, you should ask about succession – get an understanding of what is permissible and how the process works. There may be restrictions on a sale; a franchisor may insist you can sell only to them at a pre-determined formula, while another may allow you to sell to the open market with its approval and final say. Succession might be another option; if your franchise is meant to be a family business, you need to be aware of how your business decisions affect the value of your asset over a longer time horizon. Speaking to a wealth manager or estate planner will help you get your affairs in order. Canada’s franchise industry is demonstrating an excellent level of growth. We have seen increased interest as more and more Canadians turn to franchising as their career and way of life. Done right, you can make a success of an exciting opportunity for business ownership.

Q A
ASK A FRANCHISE EXPERT How does the franchisor’s approval process help both the franchisee and the franchisor make the best decision? THE FRANCHISEE AND FRANCHISOR RELATIONSHIP begins long before a franchise agreement or lease agreement is signed. The relationship begins when the franchisee first reaches out with interest in joining the franchisor’s brand. At this point, the franchisee is involved in an investigative process and wants answers to questions so they can make an informed decision about investing in the brand. On the other side of the table, the franchisor also wants answers to questions so they can make an informed decision about whether to grant a franchise to the applicant. This is called the approval process, and it is put in place for a reason. It tests the franchisee’s ability to comply with the franchisors rules before becoming a franchisee. An applicant who tries to circumvent the process will not be welcome in a well-structured system, as this behaviour is an indication that in the future, they will try to circumvent other processes that the franchisor may have established. The approval process is a time investment on both sides to qualify whether the investment in the brand and the applicant are worthwhile. This time investment can take weeks or months, depending on the franchisor’s process. This process takes place before an applicant makes the decision to sign a franchise agreement or lease. It can be staged out with a deposit agreement so both parties know that there is a serious commitment involved. Deposits prior to signing a franchise agreement are rarely refundable. The reason this process takes place is to give both the franchisee and franchisor a chance to do their due diligence on the other party. A franchisee requires a certain amount of knowledge before investing in a franchise system, and the approval process is set up to achieve that goal. A franchisor requires a good amount of insight into the character and financial wherewithal of an applicant before approving them for a franchise system. By going through the approval process, both parties get the comfort they need to proceed. A typical approval process begins with an informal interview between the franchisor’s sales representative and the applicant. This can be followed by a request for financial information on the applicant and maybe a personality assessment, as well. After this, the applicant is invited to evaluate the concept and get a tertiary understanding of what it takes to own and operate a location. This is typically followed by the applicant receiving the franchisor’s disclosure document, which gives them access to all the legal agreements they will need to

review prior to moving to the next step. Included in the disclosure document is a list of current and past franchisees, and applicants should be encouraged to contact these individuals for validation of the franchisor’s system, business model, and the claims that have been made during the sales process. After reviewing the agreements and speaking with the existing franchisees, the next step is typically an executive interview. This is an interview wherein the franchisee is evaluated by a member of the key leadership team of the franchisor’s system. It is a dual interview, as the applicant is trying to get answers to any outstanding questions, as well. It is normally after the executive interview that location and site selection enter the discussion. These are usually presented with feasibility studies, build out quotes, and sample lease agreements for the applicant’s review. At this time, the applicant is likely engaging a lawyer, as well as financing options. They have enough information to present to their professional advisors, and are in a good place to make an informed site-specific decision about proceeding with the franchisor. Once the lawyer is done their review and financing is approved, the applicant can sign their franchise agreements and schedule a start date for training and opening for business!

Q A
ASK A LEASING EXPERT
As a franchisee tenant, what questions should I ask about the property and the landlord before leasing space for my new location? SMART SHOPPERS, typically, ask plenty of questions about a product and/or service before they buy. Franchisee tenants preparing for lease negotiations need to follow that example! As The Lease Coach, we have been consulting to and negotiating for franchisee tenants since 1993 and recommend that all tenants ask the listing agent or the landlord the following questions before going into the lease negotiation process. 1) Who really is the landlord? Will you be dealing with a large institutional landlord, a developer, a REIT or a small, independent landlord with one or two plazas? Different types of landlords require different negotiation strategies – mom and pop landlords are often more accessible and flexible versus REITs and developers with head offices in other cities, making one-on-one communication more difficult. Know your opponent, why they own the property, and what their future plans are. Did they build (develop) it – or buy it as an investment? Do they plan to hold the property long term or sell it? 2) Is the landlord’s property management team local – or is management outsourced? Similar to local landlords, local property managers are more hands on. I spoke with one property manager this year who told me he oversees 78 plazas in 15 cities (over 1,000 tenants). Will that person have time for you when you need them? Ask if the landlord manages the property with their own employees (versus outsourcing management). Tenants often report better relationships and better communication with the property manager who is employed directly by the landlord. 3) What is the property history? Common area maintenance (CAM) charges are a significant compent of the overall rent you will pay. Is CAM stable and predictable? On newly developed sites, CAM is often underbudgeted to help with the pre-leasing push. Then in one to two years, the real CAMs are 30-40 per cent higher than projected or that were originally told to the franchisee. Are the other tenants stable (planning to renew)? Has there been a high turnover of previous tenants? Has a similar-use tenant to your franchise previously leased space within the property and either closed the business or moved elsewhere within the past 10-20 years? These are the types of questions you should ask. 4) Who is doing the leasing for the property? Is the property listed with a big leasing brokerage driven to do deals for big commissions, or does the landlord have in-house leasing staff who may work on salary and/or commission? If a local landlord or family member is in charge of leasing for the plaza, the process
may be more casual and you may be able to deal more directly with the decision makers. If you are using or being represented by your own agent who then contacts the landlord (or their listing agent), will they be splitting the commission (or possibly fighting over commissions)? Not all landlords are willing to pay leasing commissions or simply charge it back to the tenant in more rent. Understand who is being paid how much, because it’s ultimately coming out of your pocket as the tenant. 5) Who were the two most recent tenants to move in to the property and when? After The Lease Coach gathers this information from the listing agent or landlord, we often contact them, introduce ourselves, and ask them for their thoughts and/or opinions on their own recent lease negotiations. If you can speak with new tenants before you negotiate your own lease, it may help determine where you can push or pull the deal terms in your direction. 6) Who were the last two tenants to move out of the property? Similar to the above, we often contact these tenants and ask for details. Press them for details as to when and why they moved, where they moved, and what they thought about the landlord, property manager, and the property itself. If a tenant says they moved because there was a lack of parking, signage or visibility then you will probably experience the same issues. If a tenant relocated out of a plaza because they were successful and needed more space, that is good to hear. But if the tenant who moved out actually went broke in that plaza and never relocated at all, that is telling information worth having, too. 7) Is the property’s biggest tenant (the anchor tenant) secure? Anchor tenants typically attract the most traffic to a property, but even anchor tenants can close out or relocate. I remember a number of tenants in a local strip mall who were surprised when the major grocery store anchor tenant moved out, but kept paying rent, prohibiting another grocery store from coming in – leaving a big hole in the plaza. If the anchor tenant is one of the reasons you are attracted to a plaza, you need to ask about the anchor’s long-term plans.

Q A
ASK A LEGAL EXPERT What do I need to consider before investing in a franchise? PURCHASING A FRANCHISE can provide you with the opportunity to become an entrepreneur for a relatively small initial investment. Two of the primary advantages of becoming a franchisee are that you have the opportunity to sell goods or services that already have brand recognition and access to an already proven system and business model. But purchasing a franchise comes with no guarantee of success. That is why one of the most important things you can do as a potential franchisee is to educate yourself as much as possible and become an informed buyer, before you invest your money and sign a franchise agreement. As with anything else, preparation, understanding the nature of the attendant risks, and possessing the information necessary to make well-reasoned decisions are critical to your success. This article is intended to help you educate yourself when considering whether to invest in a franchise business. Know your franchisor and franchise system One of the hallmarks of provincial franchise laws is the duty imposed on franchisors to deliver, at least two weeks before a prospective franchisee pays any money or signs any agreements, a franchise disclosure document (often called an “FDD”). The FDD contains several mandatory sections that provide detailed information about the franchise fee and other operating costs and expenses, current and prior litigation involving the franchisor, financial information about the franchisor, and other important matters. The FDD may also contain earnings projections and estimates of annual costs for your prospective franchise location. The FDD must also include copies of all agreements you will be required to sign. FDDs are thick and dense. They are often hard to read. Read them anyway. They contain information you need to know. Flag the parts you don’t understand into two categories: those for which you need legal advice, and those for which you need financial advice. Once you have done your best to understand the information in the FDD, then get the legal and financial advice you need from qualified and experienced practitioners. It is essential that you review the FDD carefully, and understand what you are signing up for with the benefit of good advice, before entering into any franchise agreement.
will have valuable “insider” information. You need to access that information. So, before investing, reach out to several current and former franchisees and ask lots of questions. Among other things, you will want to ask: How would you describe your relationship with the franchisor generally? What particular skills do I need to succeed as a franchisee? Have you or other franchisees encountered problems? What were they? How does the franchisor respond to problems? Are there things you wish you knew before you became a franchisee? Are you as profitable as you thought you would be (and if not, why not)? Are there other franchisees/former franchisees I should speak to? Know the market and where you fit within it You may know of some successful franchisees in a particular system and be tempted to think you can replicate their success. Setting up an otherwise good franchise business in the wrong location, however, can lead to failure. For example, a fast food franchise may not perform well in an area that has many other similar restaurants competing for business or that is populated mainly by a health-conscious demographic. That is why it is critical for you to learn as much as you can about the market in which you will be operating before becoming a franchisee. At a minimum, you should research your competition and assess how the product may be expected to sell in your particular market. Know yourself and your risk appetite Finally, you should think about whether your skill sets, financial capability, appetite for risk, and goals are likely to position you for success in the particular franchise system you are considering. Some questions you should ask yourself along these lines include: Do you need to have special knowledge or technical skills (and do you have them)? Are you willing to devote the amount of time (often significant) necessary to operate the business? Do you have sufficient access to capital or financing to cover W. Brad Hanna Partner, Co-Chair Franchising & Distribution McMillan LLP
Speak to other franchisees The FDD will also contain contact information about existing franchisees as well as those who have left the system in the past year. Existing and former franchisees

ASK A LEGAL EXPERT all the expenses and costs? What level of income do you need? How much money can you afford to lose if the franchise proves unsuccessful? The purpose of this article is to highlight one simple but important point: your future success as a franchisee
depends to a large extent on the amount of due diligence you conduct when assessing the opportunity in the first place. Being an informed buyer will help position you to select the right franchise for the right market and territory.

Franchise Lingo FRANCHISE DEPOSIT 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.

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.

Franchise Lingo FRANCHISING/FRANCHISE BUSINESS MODEL Franchising is a method of doing business in which one person, the franchisor, grants another, the franchisee, certain rights contained in the franchise agreement. 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.

The Franchise Relationship FRANCHISING is a method of doing business in which one person, the franchisor, grants another, the franchisee, certain rights contained in the franchise agreement. 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 trademarks and the operations manuals which will outline the systems and processes used to operate the franchise. As the success of a franchised business depends on all franchisees delivering the same positive customer experience, the operations manuals are one of the key ways a franchise system can ensure consistent delivery of its product or service. Deviating from this uniformity and consistency of experience can be confusing to customers and can undermine the entire system.
The relationship between the franchisor and the franchisees is symbiotic with the franchisor depending on the franchisees for revenue and the franchisees depending on the franchisor to grow the brand and create greater demand for the product/service which, in turn, leads to more customers. The franchisor, in addition to providing the standard operating system, typically offers its franchisees initial and ongoing support in areas such as training and marketing. Though most franchisors offers their franchisees some level of support, franchisees are independent business owners and their franchise locations are considered small businesses. Franchisees are solely responsible for the activities of their business and execute the day-to-day operations of the business, including employee hiring, training, scheduling and payroll, and tracking and filing taxes.
ADVANTAGES OF THE FRANCHISE BUSINESS MODEL FOR FRANCHISEES:
FOR FRANCHISORS:
• Operating a business that already has in place a proven concept, successful track record, and a recognized brand.
• Benefit from partnering with independent business people in local markets who have invested in the system and have strong motivation to make their franchise location successful.
• Autonomy over the operations of their business, including employee hiring decisions and oversight and other important day-to-day decisions and processes. • Increased familiarity with franchised brands at financial institutions and other lenders can assist when franchisees approach them about financing. • Initial and ongoing training and support from the franchisor. • Learn from the experience of the franchisor and other franchisees who have operated the same exact business.
288 Canadian Franchise Association
• Achieve accelerated growth by expanding through franchisee investment (compared to corporate expansion with company capital). • Attain further market share by expanding points of sale. • Share in the revenue generated by the system through royalties collected from franchisees (typically either a standard set fee or calculated as a percentage of gross sales volume).

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 our 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.
