Franchising

"In Business FOR yourself, but NOT BY yourself"

Franchise ownership has many advantages over starting your own business

• Proven business model
• Name recognition: Established brands and trademarks
• Cooperative Advertising
• Initial and continual training and support from Franchisor
• 90% of all franchises are still successfully in business in 10 years

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce 38% of Independent businesses fail their first year in business. Over a period of 10 years, only 18% of the independent businesses remain in business and are successful.

Franchisors are a HUGE part of our economy

Did you know.........

Even though only 1 out of 12 businesses is a Franchise, Franchises account for nearly 50% of all retail sales in the United States

The International Franchise Association reported that franchising is responsible for 760,000 businesses, 18 million jobs, and over $500 billion in payroll!

From January, 2000 to December, 2004 the Stock Index of the top 50 franchisors increased 35%, compared to a drop of 20% in the S&P 500 over the same period.

A study by The United States Chamber of Commerce found that 86% of franchises opened within the last five years were still under the same ownership and 97% of them were still open for business. How’s that for a success rate?

Total sales by franchised businesses are projected to reach over $2 trillion, this year!

With over 6,000 franchises available, how do I know which one is right one for me?
Tull Consulting's will guide you through the maze of business ownership. We will generate your customized, personality/business profile, via a short interview, and we’ll narrow the choices down to just a few franchises for us to research together

Do I need industry specific experience to own each type of business?
No, in fact many Franchisors are looking for people with little or no experience in their industry. This is because they want you to focus on the business and not the manual labor. In other words, they want you to work ON your business, not be stuck working IN it. Franchisors need people who can be effective in areas like hiring and motivating good employees (which they teach you how to do), and making sure the marketing and operations are being run efficiently. Your role as a franchisee is typically one of manager rather than labor, unless you so desire.
