Why Franchise and Why Guidant
Nearly 30% of small business owners start their business because they’re ready to be their own boss. But it can be overwhelming to start from scratch. You need to develop a business idea, create a model for success, and oversee all aspects of your new business from building to advertising. That’s why franchising is a popular option. By buying into a model that’s already successful, you benefit from a franchise’s experience, guidelines, and support, all while following your small business ownership dreams.
Why Start or Buy a Franchise?
Starting or buying a franchise lets you own your own business without many of the unknowns that come with developing a new business from scratch. Your franchisor will help you with designing, training, and marketing, taking much of the effort out of your hands. As a franchise owner, you’re in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You have a proven system in place and a team behind you to support your success.
Proven Success
When you buy into a franchise, you’re buying into a model that’s proven to be successful. The hard work of building a profitable system is already done — all you need to do is follow the guidelines. With a franchise, the risks of your business failing are lower than starting an independent business.
Less Work, More Support
As a franchisee, you’ll have the support of your franchisor behind you to back you up and save you much of the effort you’d spend as an independent business owner. Your franchisors will provide you location suggestions, construction instructions and building sources, front-to-back training, marketing, advertising and brand support, and continuing education for the duration of your time as a franchisee.
Easier to Fund
Thanks to a franchise’s proven model of success, many lenders are more likely to fund franchises than startup businesses. Franchises often work with franchise financing suppliers like Guidant to help you through the funding process by providing financial statements, loan application support, and more.
Why Get Your Franchise Financing from Guidant?
Starting or buying a franchise requires a capital investment, which can range from a few thousand dollars for home-based franchises to millions for larger, more recognizable brands. But you don’t need to have that money on hand — most franchisees use financing to meet their funding needs. As a leader in franchise financing, Guidant has over 15 years of experience helping franchisees like you get the funding they need to open their doors.
