Blingle! and HorsePower Brands continue to spotlight the synergy between franchisor support and franchisee success. Patrick Purtell, a passionate Blingle General Manager in South Boston, shares his insights on steering a Blingle franchise to success. He emphasizes the pivotal role the HorsePower Brands and Blingle corporate teams play in fostering growth and the value of Blingle's franchise opportunity. “I talk to other HorsePower Brands franchisees, and they always mention the great ideas that HorsePower not only comes up with, but how they listen and implement ideas,” he states. “Any franchisor like HorsePower who listens to what their franchisees are saying and makes the changes needed to ensure franchise success…that’s priceless.” Franchising with Blingle and HorsePower Brands allows you to follow your business aspirations and make a difference in your community.

Starting a Business from Scratch vs. Getting Into a Franchise Both come with a certain level of risk. Are you interested in reinventing the wheel? That is what you are doing when you start from scratch. And here’s the thing, you can still be awarded a franchise that has proven the system with a replicable model and exercise your entrepreneurial spirit. Franchises are like wheels, and they come in all shapes and sizes.  If you become a franchisee in an emerging system (less than 100 units) then you may have some input and a say on some of the elements of the franchise.  In other words, the wheel is already there but you may be able to decide what color the wheel is or the width of the tread or the size of the spokes. Get it? You’re not reinventing anything, but you have a say in things. If you are starting from scratch, then you need to have a business that stands out from the others in that space or has not been introduced to the world yet. That's a high risk! Take it from someone that truly understands the hard work and difficulties associated with starting a business from scratch.  I quickly learned that my franchise competitors had much more sophisticated marketing capabilities, better training systems and a stronger brand presence in the market.  I had to scratch and claw to compete, it was a real street fight. The bottom line is that starting any business is hard work and requires some risk taking. Why not stack the odds in your favor with that being the case?

Why Consider Investing in a Franchise? Top 3 Reasons to Start Building Your Legacy Today Are you looking to take charge of your financial future and build a lasting legacy? Investing in a franchise could be the key to unlocking that dream. Here are three compelling reasons why franchising might be the right path for you: 1. Proven Business Model: One of the biggest challenges for any new business is figuring out what works. Franchises come with established business models, tested processes, and supportive resources. From day one, you’re set up for success with tools and strategies that have already been proven effective. 2. Support & Training from Experts: Franchise brands offer ongoing training and mentorship, which can be invaluable, especially if you're new to business ownership. You’re not just investing in a brand; you're also gaining access to a network of seasoned professionals dedicated to helping you grow and achieve your business goals. 3. Building a Legacy: Franchising isn’t just about income; it’s about creating something lasting. When you invest in a franchise, you’re laying the foundation for a business that can be passed down or expanded. Franchising allows you to build generational wealth, create a legacy, and impact your community. Investing in a franchise is more than a financial decision; it's a commitment to growth, empowerment, and legacy. At Trusted Franchise Consultants, we’re here to guide you through each step. Hi, I'm Jack Brown, Founder and CEO of Trusted Franchise Consultants. Why wait? Start your journey today. Empowering Entrepreneurs Building Legacies

A new study has demonstrated the rising popularity of the franchise business model in the UK - of the 20% of Brits considering setting up their own business, 49% of those are considering a franchise model. When asked about the top three most appealing benefits of being part of a franchise business, 44% said the higher chance of success than in a sole proprietorship, 40% said the selling power of a known brand and 35% said the initial training and support. A franchise is where a business gives the right to another person or business to sell goods or services using its name, offering all the benefits of being part of a larger group but offering the franchisee the opportunity to be their own boss. #Franchise #FranchiseBusiness #UKBusiness #FranchiseIndustry

Busting Franchise Myths with ohDEER!! 🦌🦟 Franchise Myth #1: You should only chose a well-known national brand with thousands of units to open a franchise. Myth Bust: Opening a franchise with an emerging brand instead of a national brand has many benefits! Check some of them out here: 🔑 Ground-Floor Opportunity: Being a franchisee with an emerging brand allows you to get in on the ground floor, potentially benefiting from the brand’s growth and establishing yourself as a key player in the network. You will not get lost in the weeds of thousands of franchisees. 🗺 Prime Territory Availability: Access to more desirable, untapped territories, allowing you to choose a location with high growth potential. Fewer franchisees within the network means less competition from other units in the same brand, giving you more control over your market. 💵 Lower Initial Investment: Often lower franchise fees and startup costs compared to established brands, making it more accessible for new entrepreneurs. 🙌 Greater Influence: Ability to have a direct influence on the brand's development, operational practices, and overall direction due to the smaller size of the franchise network. 🤝 Personalized Support: You will have the opportunity to build a closer relationship with the franchisor and receive more direct, personalized support from them, as they have fewer franchisees to manage and can dedicate more time to your success. 📊 Flexibility and Innovation: Increased flexibility to implement local marketing strategies or operational adjustments, as emerging brands may be more open to innovation and adaptation. 💚 Stronger Local Brand Presence: Ability to establish yourself as the face of the brand in your area, building stronger relationships with your local customer base. Emerging brands often have locally owned and operated franchise locations with string ties to their communities. 📈 Growth Opportunities: Potential for more opportunities to expand within the brand, such as opening additional units or playing a role in mentoring new franchisees. #EmergingBrand #EmergingFranchise #FranchiseOpportunity #Franchising
