It all started with disappointment... A couple of years ago we went to a franchise show and had a look around. For various pretty steep prices, we could buy a McDonalds franchise, a KFC or any number of baby groups in our local towns. We were a bit disappointed. If we were going to be part of someone’s team and start a business, we both agreed we’d want one where we could work from anywhere on our laptops. We’d be buying it to get more freedom and more money and we’d definitely want to impact people a bit more than by giving access to a burger! So we wrote down what we would like to buy. A business that we could become a part of that would make us a lot of money, one where we could work from anywhere and on our terms, one where we could improve people’s lives and a business where we could get the best training and be supported properly. We’d also want a business that has a proven history run by someone that knows what people want to buy and how to sell it. But it would need to be ever-changing as the economic landscape changes. But we both said we wouldn’t buy into something that was going to cost over £100k as most of the franchises that I’d looked at were! We wrote for so long that it turned into a business plan. And then we set about creating it. And now it’s here... The Business Success Company. Let’s give the franchise world a little nudge, shall we?

Franchise thought of the day with Kristen - We all get the question "Why wouldn't I just go start painting/garage renovation/window cleaning business myself? Why would I pay someone royalties and a franchise fee when nothing is stopping me from going out on my own?" I have the same answers as every other franchising person out there, but it's something I've been chewing on a lot lately, because I KNOW why, but sometimes communicating that in a way that helps the other person to KNOW, is more than just the standard answer we all have, ya know? But one of the things I've been thinking about more lately is research and development. I think that's one of the biggest differentiators between a good franchise and a bad franchise and going it on your own versus being with a franchise. A good franchise is going to do R&D in corporate owned territories. They're going to try out new ideas, re-work them, test them, scrap them, try something new, and do it all over again before they ever present it to a franchisee. When I think about the businesses we've owned, the thing that I think has been the costliest overall is the sheer amount of ideating, testing, re-strategizing, and implementing that we've had to do. It's what makes us good business owners - that we're constantly wanting to grow and evolve with our clients and their needs - but it's also a significant investment on the part of the business owner. That's one of the reasons I've liked ResiBrands so much. I've watched behind the scenes as we've tried out ideas, scrapped them, tried something different, had success, launched it to a few franchisees, expanded it to more, and so on. That's SUCH a huge net cost saving for the franchisee, not just financially, but also in terms of time, mental energy, and human capital. But it's also one of those intangibles that the franchisee probably doesn't fully understand the sheer depth of what they are benefiting from. I think I'm going to start talking about that more with my candidates. Because it matters. It matters a great deal. That 1 Painter Garage Up Pink's Window Services

📎From Teenager to Billionaire: The Jersey Mike's Franchise Success Story ➡️ Peter Cancro, founder and CEO of Jersey Mike's Subs, has turned a local sandwich shop into a multibillion-dollar franchise empire. At just 17, Cancro bought Mike's Subs, the Jersey Shore deli where he had worked since age 14, with a $125,000 loan from his football coach. ➡️ Fast forward to 2024, and Jersey Mike's has become one of America's fastest-growing food franchises. With nearly 3,000 locations, the chain is on track to hit $4 billion in systemwide revenue this year. Cancro's net worth is estimated at $5.6 billion, surpassing that of many well-known entrepreneurs and celebrities. ❗️Key to Jersey Mike's success: 1️⃣ Quality-focused model: Fresh ingredients, meat sliced to order 2️⃣ Franchise selection: Only 1% of applicants approved 3️⃣ Training: 360 hours including "Jersey Pride" culture 4️⃣ Community engagement: Annual "Day of Giving" charity event 5️⃣ Expansion strategy: Opened 5,000 new stores in 5 years ➡️ Cancro's leadership during the pandemic was particularly noteworthy. While others pulled back, he invested $150 million in store remodels, $40 million in tech upgrades, and launched a major marketing campaign. This bold move resulted in a 65% sales increase from 2019 to 2021. ➡️ Despite rapid growth, Jersey Mike's maintains a local, mom-and-pop feel in each location. This approach has led to impressive franchisee retention, with only 3.5% of U.S. locations closing or changing ownership. Sometimes, swimming against the current and doubling down during tough times can lead to exponential growth. Cancro's willingness to invest heavily during the pandemic, when others were cutting back, positioned Jersey Mike's for unprecedented success. #VentureStories

🚀 SOUP🍲ER excited to share my latest article: "Why I Got Into Franchising" 📝 As a mom, entrepreneur, and now a franchisor, I've learned so much on this journey. Here are some juicy bits 🍊 from the article: https://lnkd.in/e9244UN7 👩🍳 My inspiration for starting Sticky Fingers Cooking® came from a deeply personal place - wanting to provide healthy cooking solutions for children with special dietary needs. 📈 Transitioning from a successful business to franchising wasn't initially in my plans, but a serendipitous meeting with Carrie Dorr, founder of Pure Barre Method, changed everything. Her mentorship helped me understand the importance of refining our systems before expanding. 🍋 When life gave us lemons in the form of the pandemic, we pivoted and used the time to strengthen our offerings. We made lemonade! We knew when Sticky Fingers Cooking® was ready to become a responsible franchise brand. 🦄 A special shoutout to the incredible team and mentors who have supported me along the way, including my forum mates at Entrepreneurs' Organization and Carrie Dorr. Your guidance has been invaluable! 🎂 Starting a business is like baking a cake - it requires the right ingredients, patience, and a sprinkle of passion.

Some of you may have seen the recent story being circulated by RFK Jr. that paints the franchise industry in a very negative light. There is a major hole in his “franchises are bad for small business” fallacy. Let’s imagine a world where McDonald’s wasn’t a franchise. The idea that there would be a thriving, independent, Mom & Pop burger joint on every street corner is complete nonsense. Brand recognition matters in business. Consumers gravitate towards what they know. If franchising didn’t exist, the strongest consumer brands in the world would STILL be publicly traded or private equity owned. The only difference is these massive corporations would also own the operating units instead of small business owners. In industries that are dominated by national or international brands, franchising is the only vehicle by which non-institutional players (also known as “us common folk”) can get a piece of the pie. My heart goes out to any franchisees who have been manipulated by bad actors in the industry. I can relate to a greater degree than I can publicly discuss at this time. But the appropriate response is not to come for the throat of an $800B+ industry because of a few bad actors. I hope the bad actors are brought to justice. I hope franchisees that have been wronged are duly compensated. Most of all, I hope that the franchise industry is alive and stronger 50 years from now to provide the same opportunities to the next generation that it has provided to me.

In May 1940 Maurice ("Mac") and Richard McDonald opened their drive-in ‘restaurant’ in San Bernardino, California. The brothers were burger masters. In the 1940s, they revolutionised their restaurant, focusing on efficiency, speed, and affordability. Their innovative "Speedee Service System" streamlined operations, paving the way for what we now know as fast food. Ray Kroc, a milkshake machine salesman, saw the McDonald brothers' concept not just as a successful restaurant, but as a 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒅𝒆𝒍. He recognised the potential for franchising, a concept the brothers hadn't explored. Here's where the magic happens: the combination of excellent food service, and a strength in business expansion highlighted a crucial truth: 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫. While having a fantastic product or service is essential, building a successful business often requires a broader skill-set. Surround yourself with individuals who complement your strengths. Are you a product whizz? Perhaps you need a marketing mastermind on your team. Do you have a knack for sales? Maybe a financial guru would help convert sales to profit. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚? 🦸 Building a successful business is rarely a solo act. 💪 Identify your strengths, acknowledge your weaknesses, and don't be afraid to seek out complementary expertise. 🍔 Remember, sometimes the recipe for success isn't just about the perfect burger, but about having the right team in the kitchen.

There were several points of contention 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: The McDonald brothers were content with their successful San Bernardino operation, while Kroc envisioned a national franchise empire. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥: Kroc, through strategic negotiations, gained significant control over the business, including real estate and franchising rights. This left the brothers with less power than they initially anticipated. 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: The buy-out agreement Kroc offered the brothers only included a one-time payment and no royalties on future franchise sales. This meant they missed out on the massive financial success McDonald's achieved under Kroc's leadership Kroc eventually decided he wanted control of the company entirely, Kroc bought the company in 1961 for $2.7 million, calculated so as to ensure each brother received $1 million after taxes #inspiringbusiness #businessgrowth #strategicplanning
