“Should I Franchise My Business?”

“Should I franchise my business?”

As a franchise attorney, that is a question I get asked all the time! Truthfully, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Every business is different, and perhaps more importantly, every business owner is different. Today I’m diving in to help you determine whether you should franchise.

To answer this question, I’m asking you to reflect on yourself and your business and ask five questions that we were all taught at a very young age: Who? What? Where? When? and Why?

Admittedly, my questions to you are more precisely phrased as:

Who are you as a business owner?
What are your business goals?
Where do you want to start franchising?
When should you franchise?
Why are you wanting to franchise?

Being able to answer these questions will help you determine if the franchise model may work for your business. So, tune in to today’s podcast to learn more about whether you should franchise or remain independent!

Started listening to Josh's podcast after the wife and I decided to buy a franchise and I quickly went through about 200 episodes on 1.5x & 2x, before signing on to purchase a franchise. Josh's info was an invaluable part of our decision to buy, and after listening to so many episodes, I felt like I knew and trusted him on a personal level, so it was a no-brainer to enlist his services when it came time to review the franchise agreement. Josh was super easy to talk to and very empathetic to our needs, and being first time business owners, we needed all the empathy we could get. Josh helped us negotiate a great deal with the franchisor and we were very happy with his services. Great podcast, great guy, great service to anyone involved in the franchise world!

Very interesting discussion. I found the information valuable.

I've just completed the legal process of franchising my business and have now begun selling franchises. Just found this podcast and it's an incredible resource! Great content and Josh is a very engaging host. Highly recommend for franchisors and franchisees.
