The franchisors that we work with depend on us to help them achieve their growth goals. We depend on them to provide great opportunities for our candidates to consider. Without this strong relationship we cannot achieve our goal to help individuals find the perfect business.

We are always looking for new quality franchisors to work with. There are many franchisors that would like to work with us but not all have the characteristics we are looking for. We are looking for the quality franchise companies that have an exceptional opportunity to offer our candidates.

Please review the information below about the services we provide our candidates and franchisors. We also identify the characteristics we are looking for in franchise companies and how to proceed if you are interested in working with The Franchising Source.

Candidate Services:

We offer a valuable service to candidates that are interested in buying a franchise opportunity but are not sure which opportunity would be right for them. Our consultants help match them to the right opportunities that meet their requirements and then consult with them throughout the validation process.

We solicit candidates that are genuinely interested in buying a franchise business through advertising, networking, professional affiliations, outplacement seminars and other methods.

One of our Consultants will then contact them to arrange a meeting, either in person or over the telephone, to discuss their goals and desires and get more detailed information about them and their background in reference to business ownership. This is accomplished through a series of questions and answers during a thorough discussion that could take up to several hours.

We use the information gathered to develop a model for our candidate that will be used in evaluating franchises. This unique model will contain the items they feel are important to them in a business opportunity. This model will be used to identify opportunities that meet their personal requirements.

We will present several franchise opportunities to them that match their model. We will then meet with them to discuss these opportunities and find out if they would like to research any of the companies further. If so we will introduce them to the companies that they have expressed interest in so that they can begin to learn more about them in greater detail.

We counsel our candidates to conduct a complete and thorough investigation of any franchise opportunity that they feel may be right for them. Though we cannot do this research for them, we will assist and guide them throughout this process. We also can help our candidates locate financing sources, franchise attorneys, CPA's and other resources they may need.

Franchisor Services:

The Franchising Source offers a risk free, cost effective way for franchisors to grow their business incrementally along with their other recruiting efforts. We are only paid a referral fee if one of the candidates we refer buys a franchise.

The candidates that we refer to our franchise companies are highly qualified. We have spent hours with these candidates pre-screening and qualifying them. Our candidates are financially qualified, they are serious about buying a franchise and they have a strong interest in finding out more about the franchises we refer them to.

Franchisors with excellent systems for communicating and following up with our candidates and consultants, will have a great deal of success converting the candidates that we refer to them to franchisees. By referring the best candidates to the best franchisors we have developed a win-win system for all parties.

Franchisor Qualifications:

We have found that franchisors must have certain characteristics in order for us to have a successful relationship with them. Listed below are the characteristics we are looking for in new franchise companies interested in working with us.

Quality of the Concept:
We are interested in franchisors that have a proven track record and a business model that is well defined and predictable.

Communication:
The franchise companies we work with must have a very responsive communication system for working with prospective franchisees we refer to them.

Validation:
The franchise business must validate well with existing franchisees. When our candidates call the franchisees to validate the business they will need to get generally positive feedback or they will not move forward with the opportunity.

Income Potential and Return on Investment:
New franchisees must be able to make a reasonable return in a reasonable period of time. Though we never discuss income or investment return numbers with our candidates, they will be seeking this information from franchisees when they are validating the opportunity. Your opportunity must be competitive with the industry.

As we previously mentioned we are always looking to develop relationships with quality franchisors. If you would like to discuss setting up a relationship with The Franchising Source, please contact us.
