WELCOM e Franchise To Th

For the last 10 years, the International Franchise Show has welcomed thousands of forward-thinking entrepreneurs, with the purpose of putting these individuals in front of their perfect franchise opportunity. We’ve expanded the size of our venue and selection of brands over the last decade, but our aim remains the same; to bring you the UK’s largest selection of British and International franchise brands, all under one roof.

Across the next two days you’ll have access to the resources, knowledge and opportunities you need to make the first steps towards taking control of your career, by finding your perfect franchise.

Celebrating our 10th year in 2019, we have pulled out all of the stops to provide you with the biggest ever selection of franchise opportunities, as well as a world-class line up of expert speakers exploring everything from funding your first franchise to evaluating master license options.

Despite the huge range of investment levels between the exhibitors here today, there are common features of every franchisor - a proven business model; a whole host of industry knowledge and experience; and a support network of people genuinely wanting to see their franchisees succeed!

Each franchise opportunity will see you become your own boss, working for yourself but not by yourself. The fact is that investing in a franchise involves less risk than starting up your own business from scratch. The commercial failure rates of franchise businesses are far lower than business start-ups.

So, what are you waiting for? Pick out your top exhibitors and plan your pitch, pencil in the seminars you don’t want to miss, and expand your network over a coffee in the networking area.

WE HOPE YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC COUPLE OF DAYS!

? e s i h c n Fra

franchise & why Are you ambitious, entrepreneurial, driven and looking for a challenge? Want a business model that works? Take charge of your career by investing in a low-risk franchise model that works!

WHAT IS A FRANCHISE?

Less than 7% of franchises fail in the first 3 years compared to over 90% of new business start-ups!

A franchise is a business that has sparked success in the market, and has spotted an opportunity to grow its business through expansion via a franchise model; by allowing a third party the right to operate under their brand (usually in return for a one-time fee, plus a small percentage of sales revenue).

Owning a franchise is a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to become their own boss. With such a wide range of businesses to choose from, including, investment levels to suit all kinds of budgets, flexible hours and work-from-home models, that dream business could just be a stones throw away.

REASONS TO invest in a FRANCHISE

1 2 3

Minimal Risk

A tried and tested model. Issues have already been addressed and ironed out.

4

Experience not necessary

5

Resources at your fingertips

As long as you have the ambition, determination and willingness to learn, most franchisors will be eager to work with you and provide full training to assist you.

Established Brand

Take advantage of economies of scale, reputation, brand establishment and customer loyalty. Market segment has already been crafted, giving you that competitive edge. Your buying into an established brand that consumers know and a business that already has everything in place (a ‘business-in-a-box’ so to speak).

Training and Support

Help and support is given to get you off your feet and equip you with the tools you need to embark upon your journey to success.

Embrace the support and assistance on offer to boost your business exposure. Many franchises will offer marketing funds and support, financial assistance when buying or purchasing new equipment and so much more.

Is Franchising Your Best Choice… if so,Which Brand To Choose And How Can You Fund The Investment?

Franchising plays an increasingly important role in supporting enterprising individuals who are setting up their own business, as it provides them with the reassurance of a proven model as well as initial training and continuing support throughout the life of the business. But how do you decide that franchising is the right step for you and if it is then which brand should you select from the bewildering choice available?

The great news is help is at hand. Lloyds Bank in conjunction with the British Franchise Association has developed essential support you to fully prepare yourself to become a franchisee through a free, online educational programme called the Prospect Franchisee Certificate (PFC), which will help you to maximize your chances of franchising success.

The franchise model of ‘self-employment with support’ generates thousands of stories of people successfully transforming their lives by going into business for themselves but not by themselves. By taking the course and gaining a comprehensive understanding of the franchising model, you’re putting yourself in the best possible position to join these success stories.

It is a mistake to believe that investing in a franchise brand offers any form of guaranteed business success; it doesn’t!

There is a great deal of hard work and determination needed to establish the

22

business in your chosen location or territory.

Ethical franchisors will want to ensure as far as possible that you are the right fit for their network and alarm bells should be ringing if you are offered a franchise without being made to jump through a few hoops to assess your own suitability.

You need to carefully research your options before signing on the dotted line and parting with your hard earned savings. Most people understand the need to thoroughly check out the franchise brand, industry sector, local market, financial projections, the level of support provided, legal agreement and to speak to as many existing franchise owners as possible, however they often neglect one of the most important steps which is to reflect on their own skills, attributes and motivations.

franchise opportunity. If you’ve successfully followed instructions in a previous role and you’re happy doing so then franchising may be an option for you to explore. People who come from a systems-based background are likely to have a higher success rate in franchising as they already know the benefits of following the model.

You don’t have to be a robot to be a good franchise owner but you do need to understand that the franchisor is the custodian of the brand and business model so it’s their way or the highway. So if you have a stubborn streak or are independently minded think very carefully about whether franchising is the right option for you. There is nothing wrong with these personality traits, and I recognize them in me, but investing in a franchise system is possibly a wrong choice for these people.

A period of self-reflection as to whether you are suited to franchising is often overlooked and could prevent costly mistakes and even potential business failure. If you are someone who is very entrepreneurial or wants to reinvent the wheel then franchising is not for you and you would likely be more suited to setting up your own independent business from scratch.

Methodical research is the key to owning a successful franchise that helps you achieve your own goals. There is usually plenty of information available online both positive and negative about the brands you are considering to help you decide whether you wish to take the next step to investigate further.

If you’ve challenged the boss in the past and openly disagreed with the way things were done by leaders then question whether franchising is right for you. Franchising is all about following a system so if you find any difficultly in following the rules save yourself potential heartache and don’t invest in a

Remember to thoroughly research the wider industry sector to gain a better understanding and avoid ‘fads’ that have limited longevity. If there are trade bodies that represent the sector you are exploring then speak with them as they may be able to give you usual insight into the brand you are

researching.

Once you have established you wish to learn more, an approach to the franchisor will be necessary. Remember the franchisor will be assessing your suitability from your initial contact onwards, so it isn’t just you deciding whether the business is the right step for you.

Take the opportunity to meet the franchisor and their Head Office support team to get a better feel for the business and once you’ve shown show commitment to invest the franchisor should give you access to speak to existing franchisees. This is an essential step in deciding whether a franchise brand you are researching is the right investment opportunity for you and is often not given sufficient attention by prospective franchisees.

Speak to as many existing franchisees as possible before you make any decision. The franchisor may well wish to manage the process, however you should be allowed to speak to whoever you like and as many of the franchisee network you wish to enable you to make an informed decision about the franchise opportunity.

By carefully selecting your questions existing franchisees can reveal a lot about the opportunity and the franchisor’s attitude to supporting their network. This may raise concerns or indeed give you comfort about the big decision you will need to make about committing to the franchise or not.

A good business plan will cover the following areas: · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

Executive Summary Personal details (Contact details, Age, Marital status, Dependants) Franchisee’s experience, skills and attributes Objectives / Mission Statement Overview of the franchise Local market (Research, Location, Customers, Competitors) Business operation (Premises, IT, Vehicles, Equipment, Suppliers) Key Personnel / Management team Marketing strategy Borrowing requirements Capital stake and Security Personal Assets, Liabilities, Income and Expenditure statement Financial Projections (Cash flow and Profit & Loss forecasts) Financial Assumptions used 3 years Trading Accounts (Existing businesses only) SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Exit strategy

23

Don’t be rushed into making your decision and if you feel pressurized into making a commitment before you are ready to do so then be prepared to walk away. Ethical franchisors will be aware that you are making a significant commitment and will give you all the information required for you to be able to make your decision in your own time.

Before you make your final decision speak to the bank’s franchise team to get their view on the viability of the franchise brand you are researching. If it is an established franchise brand it is likely that the bank will already have a track record of supporting franchisees and may be able to give you some valuable insight.

Once you’ve decided franchising is your chosen route to self-employment and you’ve selected a brand to invest in, you may need some help planning. Benjamin Franklin supposedly once said ‘if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail’ and that still rings true today. I don’t believe that anyone sets out to fail but most people starting their own business for the first time will have never prepared a business plan before and wouldn’t know how to start writing one.

Banks will require a business plan to set up a bank account and consider financial support for a business. Any lender will want a potential franchisee to demonstrate that they understand their chosen market and that they will be able to meet the financial commitment they are taking on.

Most banks will be able to provide a business plan template detailing what information should be included in the document however support from the franchisor is essential in developing an effective business plan as well as realistic profit projections.

The business plan should be punchy and a common mistake is to make it too detailed.

Ensure that it grabs the bank manager’s interest. The presentation of the plan is important to create maximum positive impact and you should practice its delivery before speaking to a lender so that you come across professionally.

Think of those entrepreneurs on BBC’s Dragons Den programme. From the outset, many don’t stand a chance of securing the investment they are seeking because their presentation is poorly conceived, or they don’t have a good understanding of the key financial information. Consequently, they are unable to establish their own creditability and project confidence in their business when challenged by the likes of Peter Jones or Deborah Meaden.

Similar to the Dragons, bank managers will ask challenging questions about the plan and expect a business owner to be able to answer those questions confidently. It is therefore important that any business owner understands all aspects of their plan including the figures and any assumptions that have been used. It is for this reason that I would recommend that the owner has close personal involvement in producing

their plan. It is too important to abdicate responsibility and to leave it to someone else to write.

Let the bank manager have a copy of the business plan in advance so they can prepare for the meeting. The franchisor can really add value by preparing new franchisees so they know what to expect and how to secure the backing from their chosen bank.

It is often assumed that a business plan is needed just to secure funding. Whilst this is an important benefit of producing a business plan it can also assist with the management of the business such as monitoring the on-going performance against the original benchmarks and identifying areas for development and potential risk. The plan is a working document and should be regularly reviewed and updated as the business develops.

When looking to finance a franchise business it is best to approach the bank’s franchise department, as they regularly evaluate franchise brands and monitor the on-going performance of franchisees that bank with them. They are best placed to offer the professional guidance you’ll need rather than a locally based bank manager.

The level of finance available from a bank will depend upon the strength of the franchise system as well as the individual business plan. Typically for well established franchises the bank will lend up to seventy per cent of the total set up costs including

working capital. For newer, less established franchise systems the amount of finance available maybe lower.

Typically lenders will look at unsecured lending up to £25,000 however for greater sums the bank will probably require security, which commonly will be a legal charge over a residential property with sufficient equity.

Don’t be put off they isn’t any security to offer the bank. The Government backed Enterprise Finance Guarantee Scheme maybe available for those who have a strong business proposal, but who lack security that the banks usually require.

It is sensible to have a contingency reserve fund to fall back on in case the business takes longer to get off the ground than originally anticipated.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Live Bowser Monitoring

Starting a business is an intimidating step, and requires a lot of self-examination so that you are sure you can commit to being your own boss.

If you have the self-discipline and the entrepreneurial profile required to start your own business, and you are looking for something a bit different than pet-sitting or washing windows, then this might be for you.

Fleet Video Surveillance

Companies that operate fleet face challenges with respect to management of assets, people and fuel, without which the profit margins are sure to decline.

Utilising the unique solutions offered by Digit FMS, not only can the fleet be managed but fuel theft or mis-use can be almost entirely eradicated.

Fleet Fuel Management

Digit FMS is keen to meet with potential applicants who would like to own their own FMS franchise in key areas around the UK. The business has a very short ROI and most importantly offers a recurring income model, which means a sale today could earn you revenue for years to come.

steps to finding

. . . e s i h c n a r F

the perfect

STEP 1

RCH A E S E R

Research different industries and sectors that interest you using online franchise directories and franchise show websites. Keep an open mind and consider sectors you may not have previously thought about; you may actually find an industry that would never perhaps spring to mind, and offers a business model that looks appealing.

STEP 2 Once you have a solid list, crosscheck and see whether these potential franchises have any upcoming events where you can gather more details, explore options and create connections you can follow-up on.

If the potential prospect is exhibiting at a show, why not call them and pre-arrange a oneto-one meeting (events can get really busy so it’s worth arranging a meeting prior to the show).

32

R GATHE

ION T A M R INFO

Attend discovery days, plan meetings at events and request information packs.

Once you have all the information from potential franchise opportunities, whittle down the numbers to the top five avenues you want to discover more from.

STEP 3

ble a i l e r gain cial n a n i f

Advice

Whilst you may have the means to fund your franchise, the majority of the time franchise buyers will need access to other financial means to get started. Banks are more inclined to lend and support franchise starters due to the low-risk associated and guarantee on return (most of the time).

Research and check out interest rates and support at franchise exhibitions or online beforehand.

STEP 4

to talk ng existi

Look into all funding options. See how much personal finance you can contribute in order to minimise borrowing, check out grants and government schemes on offer, look into crowd funding or investor options (a lot of sites provide a one-stop destination for this), look into community funding options, family and friends - if you’re lucky enough to have a family member or friend with the means to invest, perhaps cutting a deal or offering shares with them would help get you started.

s e e s i h c n Fra

At this point you should already have in mind a potential franchise. Connect with and meet the franchisees who have already embarked upon the journey you’re about to take. Listen to opinions from those who have been there and done it, they may have some valuable advice or some amazing stories to share.

STEP 5 STEP 6

SIGN HISE FRANC

t n e m e e r Ag

ISE L A N I F ORY T I R R E T

Now you’ve made it this far, it’s time to discuss your steps to ‘onboarding’ with your new franchise! Discuss exactly where you will be allowed (and able) to work, if there are any boundaries. Think about territories you may have ruled out or not thought of; some franchises offer opportunities to start-up overseas, others are looking for high investors to hold a master license in a new country, discuss all options available to you before committing.
