As your franchise broker, our job is to stimulate your thinking about the business opportunities and franchise systems that you consider. After all, you have limited amounts of bandwidth, time and energy to spend on your franchise research. Our role is to help you focus on selecting the right franchises to investigate further.

At Franchise-Seekers.com, we belong to an association of franchise brokers that is committed to helping you make the right choice. Together, we brainstorm ways to help you make your franchise search easier and more productive. We publish articles that bring helpful information to your attention.

Here are some thoughts about some different things to keep in mind as you go through your franchise selection.

Thoughts When Choosing a Franchise

It’s pretty remarkable how many different types of franchised businesses there are available. When most people think of a franchise, images of McDonald’s, Burger King and Subway come to mind. But less often do people think of the other business concepts the franchising industry has to offer, like:

  • Clothing boutiques
  • Day Spas
  • Hair Salons
  • Business Services and Coaching
  • Childcare and Development
  • Tutoring and Education
  • Financial and Loan Services

There are literally thousands of franchise and business opportunities to invest in. And, while many people initially automatically think “I want to own a restaurant” or “I want to own a gym”, it is important to keep an open mind. This is where working with a franchise consultant such as Vicky Tade at Franchise Seekers can help.

There are important factors than can help you choose the very best business option for you.

Are you looking for:

  • Flexible schedule
  • Home office based operations
  • Low investment level
  • High return on investment
  • Quick start up
  • Small office or small number of employees

Your franchise broker can provide you with valuable guidance and assistance in sorting through these elements. Her purpose is to not only match you with the best industry for you, but also the best business model. Your work-life balance and your business goals are taken into consideration when researching your franchise options.

Do you want to:

  • Make a difference
  • Operate a green company
  • Work with other businesses and professionals
  • Provide job opportunities

It is important to take all of these items into consideration when investigating franchise and business opportunities you are interested in. While these things can be daunting, having an experienced partner in your research process can prove immensely helpful (and stress reducing!).

CNBC Asks if McDonald’s is Golden or Broken

Is McDonald’s “broken”? That’s the question being asked by CNBC. According to their report, McDonald’s franchisees are furious and not “lovin” it.

Franchise respondents rated the chain’s six-month outlook for its domestic business more negatively than at any time in Janney’s 11-year survey history. The group, which represents about 215 U.S. locations, also reported an extremely strained relationship with corporate; that metric also hit new lows.

“McDonald’s system is broken,” one wrote. “They talk menu reduction to help our people, simplify our menu for customers—but add products to help sales and it does not work. We will continue to fall and fail.”

The dismal outlook comes as McDonald’s struggles to turn its U.S. business around amid stiff competition from chains like privately held Chick-fil-A and Chipotle Mexican Grill.
