Professor SMOKE franchise

The franchise is sold only in Russia

You can start a business by promoting your idea, for the implementation of which you need funds. In such a situation, you are looking for investment or trying to raise a company with your own money.

But there is another way. You can make money on other people's ideas, benefit from the experience and achievements of a successful company. This way to start your own business is called a franchise.

What is a franchise?

Franchise is mutually beneficial cooperation between a start-up entrepreneur or company and a brand that has achieved popularity. Aspiring Entrepreneur (franchisee) receives the right to sell a service or product of a well-known brand. "Senior Comrade" (franchisor) is expanding the network of its representative offices, but in return for this it provides significant assistance in organizing business and provides franchisees with its products at a favorable price.

The benefits are mutual. The franchisee receives the right to earn money from the franchisor’s product or service, using his own methods developed over decades of persistent research and work. For these rights, the franchisee pays the franchisor certain commissions or royalties. Both parties to the transaction are interested in the success of the common business:

• The benefit of a franchisee is that you can start your own business with minimal start-up capital, learn under the wise guidance of business sharks and minimize the risks typical of beginners.
• The franchisor's benefit lies in expanding and popularizing the company, attracting new customers at minimal cost.

Franchises are presented in two main types: product and brand franchise, business franchise.

Product and brand franchise

The franchisee receives the right to sell a product or service provided by the franchisor. The ways to help a junior partner may be different, but no one interferes in each other’s business processes. When concluding a transaction, the form and terms within which the franchise will be paid are clearly stated in the contract. But royalties are not paid when franchising a product or brand.

Business franchise

In this option, franchisees provide a wider range of services to help organize a business, but there is less freedom of action. What assistance can a franchisor provide?

• the right to use the trademark;
• the entire business system is provided;
• selection, renovation and decoration of premises;
• advertising marketing;
• supply of materials, equipment and products;
• hiring and training employees;
• research, control and assistance in business optimization for the entire period of cooperation;
• access to the know-how of the franchisor company.

To qualify for all this unprecedented generosity, the franchisee must pay the franchisor at the very beginning a certain amount. Then a royalty (a certain percentage of profit) is paid monthly.

Despite the tangible benefits of this type of cooperation, the level of responsibility of the franchisee is much higher:

• The level of customer service must meet the franchisor's standards. Non-compliance may result in the termination of agreements. Failure to comply with the agreement may result in fines.
• The franchisee's freedom of action is limited by the terms of the contract.
• The lump sum payment can be significant.

Statistics show that out of 10 franchisees, 7 achieve success. They overcome the 5-year barrier more easily and successfully, on the way to which 70% of aspiring entrepreneurs fail, acting at their own peril and risk. The development of a new company is faster, fewer mistakes are made, starting capital for implementation own ideas is earned easily. Although many, after the expiration of the franchise agreement, continue to cooperate with the franchisor.

Popular destinations for small businesses

Only entrepreneurial giants can work in some areas. But for small businesses the choice of type of activity is very wide. How to choose your niche?

• Pay attention to what product or service is missing from consumers in your city.
• Something that you have a talent for or a strong desire to do, despite serious competition. By putting your soul into your business, you will offer your clients best service and you will succeed.
• Research what type of activities are available in your region according to government programs is a priority.

Judging by the last point, the scope for searching for directions is enormous:

• production and trade of food and consumer goods;
• production of building materials and construction;
• service sector for the local population;
• hotel business, tourism organization;
• IT technologies, innovation activities;
• catering establishments;
• production of medical drugs and equipment;
• collection, processing and disposal of waste and secondary raw materials;
• transport services;
• farming.

In each of these areas, you can choose your own specialization and bring the level of service provision to perfection. If you find a suitable franchise offering good start in business, everything will work out well.

Advantages of franchising for a businessman

Buying a franchise provides many benefits to an entrepreneur. Franchisees can avoid the mistakes of a novice entrepreneur. The businessman receives a proven scheme, principles of personnel training and work rules. An entrepreneur does not need to think through and launch advertising campaign, negotiate rental terms, come up with services and buy materials. It is difficult for a beginner to agree on favorable conditions, and some suppliers want to work only with well-known brands.

The franchise seller quickly expands his business in different regions with minimum costs. A new entrepreneur takes on all the risks; he is also involved in running and developing the business. The brand becomes more and more popular and recognizable, which increases overall income. In addition, the owner company receives income from the sale of the franchise and monthly income.

Disadvantages of the business model

Of course, there are also disadvantages to franchising. For a beginning businessman, this is a loss of freedom of action, because with a franchise he is obliged to sell goods and services only according to established rules. Purchasing a franchise is a costly matter, and in the future the entrepreneur is completely dependent on the stability of the franchisor.

The owner company runs the risk of disseminating corporate secrets and must strictly monitor compliance with the terms of the franchise so as not to lose its image.
