Why should you Franchise?
If you want to expand, but lack the money, the people and the time, it may be time to think about franchising. Trouble sleeping at night wondering who will knock off your operation first? Tired of reading about companies and thinking, “I have a better franchise concept than that company”?
Is your business franchisable?
Franchising is a relatively flexible format, and just about any type of business can be franchised, provided it meets some basic characteristics:
- It needs to be unique.
- Has been a going concern for at least a year.
- It needs to be teachable.
- It needs to provide an adequate return.
- If your business meets these criteria, then it may be a good candidate for franchising.
- Franchising is an excellent Expansion method
Franchising offers a number of significant benefits and solutions:
- Expansion Capital - Franchisees furnish most of the capital required for the franchisor’s expansion - equity, business loans -setup inventory, pre-opening and ongoing working capital.
- Management - Unlike a typical employed manager, the franchisee makes a financial and personal investment in the business and therefore, remains highly motivated.
- Time to Market - Because the franchisee provides the expansion capital and local management, the franchisor can expand at a faster rate than if the franchisor was required to raise the needed expansion capital, recruit and train local management
Is assistance by a professional essential?
Generally, the answer must be a resounding” yes”. Seeking input from an expert in franchising will bring an extra perspective to the business to be franchised and help the prospective franchisor understand the intricacies of a complicated process. It is essential to speak to an expert that offers the whole package. It is also important to use a FASA registered consultant for this process. Franchise in a Box is FASA registered as a supplier.
History of Franchise in a Box
Robin van Rensburg is a turnaround specialist consultant that realised while doing his MBA at UCT that an unsuccessful company is usually just run by managers or owners that are not trained correctly and did not have their basic company documents in place. This naturally developed into franchising when he started having a lot of requests from companies that wanted to franchise but had no knowledge how to franchise. A pain free system was developed to franchise these businesses.

Franchise your business in 40 days NOT IN 7-12 MONTHS LIKE OTHER COMPANIES
I know that there are consulting companies with proven concepts that want to offer their opportunity to others through franchising but can’t because it can be very costly (well over R 200,000 to R450 000 and sometimes you have to give an equity share in the business). Franchise in a Box can get you on the road to franchising within 30 to 40 days depending on how ready you are.
Franchising can be Very Profitable
The average new franchisor sells 6-8 franchises in their first 12 months and 15-20 thereafter. With franchise fees averaging R20, 000 - R70, 000, that’s a potential income of R120,000 to R 420,000 in franchise fee income in your first 12 months.
In addition, franchisees are generally required to pay you - the franchisor - an ongoing monthly royalty of 2-8% (national averages) of their gross sales. Using a basis of R 500,000 first year gross sales per franchise location as an average, your annual royalty income will exceed R200,000 from these initial franchisees.
Also, most franchisors require their franchisees to spend a minimum of 3-5% of gross sales for local advertising of their business - (which promotes your trade name at the same time) and the franchisee contributes 1% of their gross sales to the franchisor to cover the cost of producing professional advertising materials and programs.
We have a sales division to sell the franchises for you.
