Transparency In How We Make Money

When buying a franchise, you pay a franchise fee. Fees have skyrocketed over the last few years to pay commissions to the broker who said they “coach you for free” and then to the outsourced sales team who is NOT on the franchisor’s team, We have a flat commission. Here’s why:

How Franchising Works

With more than 4,000 franchise opportunities, it can be a daunting task to find the right opportunity for you. Thus, understanding how franchising works is essential to getting to what = winning for you.

Franchising is hard. Let’s make that clear. It isn’t as simple as opening the doors and making money. With most franchise opportunities, it takes time to break even. Thus, you have to understand the process and establish a plan to win.

You select the franchise you are interested in. You inquire on their Website. If qualified you are processed by the franchisor. Most of the time, you are invited to a discovery day. If awarded a franchise, you pay a franchise fee to secure the territory. You then go into onboarding. This can take some time – depending on real estate selection and training. Then, you open. Once you open, you have two key focuses – stop burning cash; paying off your investment; and growing your wealth. Then, if committed to a plan, you scale.

What Can I Afford?

At Growth Club, we call it the Rule of Three – can you afford three pizza franchises, three pool service franchises, three mobile pet grooming franchises?

Now, let us be clear – there is currency in grit and hustle. In fact, many of the world’s greatest franchisees who ever lived got there by out hustling everyone else. That certainly counts. But, when you are properly capitalized, you increase the chances of success because you can prepare for different economic and business climates. Additionally, with the right funds, you can scale – which increases the odds of you getting to what = winning.
