Franchises as a Business

If you want to own your own business, a franchise may be a great option for you. There are many different businesses that offer franchises.

What are Business Franchises?

According to the International Franchise Association (IFA), a business format franchise is when a franchisor provides for the franchise owner a complete business plan. “The plan provides step-by-step procedures for major aspects of the business and, anticipating most management problems, provides a complete matrix for management decisions confronted by the franchisees. The major advantage of buying a business format franchise is that the ‘system,’ the means for distributing goods and or services, has been developed, tested, and associated with the trademark. ”

Another great benefit of this type of franchises is the quick growth potential it offers, according to the IFA.

What Types of Businesses Franchise?

Franchises are not just fast food and restaurant companies. According to the IFA, almost any business you can imagine franchises. In fact, they cite over 75 categories describing their membership. If you’re looking for great businesses, franchises are a great place to start.

Express Franchise Businesses

Express Employment Professionals offers franchises in the staffing industry. Staffing is an $80-billion dollar a year industry. Plus, it’s one of the fastest growing industries in the country, according to the American Staffing Association.

But, what really sets staffing apart in franchising? The secret is that the core of our business focuses on helping people and companies with their greatest needs. Businesses need great people, and people need great jobs. Every day, our franchisees across the world help fulfill both of those needs for countless people while also fulfilling their own dreams. Learn more about the opportunities that staffing franchises offer.

The Express Opportunity

Express is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs from a variety of backgrounds. Our franchises have a business-to-business focused sales model, and successful franchise owners range from former teachers to CEOs and everything in between.

A Franchise-Only Model

Many businesses in franchising grow their companies through both corporate and franchise offices. A franchise in this type of model may compete for business with a company store, which can limit the potential growth in a market.

Express is proud to have a franchise only model for growth. This ensures the success of our franchise owners. It allows them to identify the businesses in the area that are the competition and focus their efforts in saturating their market. Plus, every Express franchise is located within an exclusive territory. That means, Express franchises do not compete with each other for market share. Learn about our territories.

That’s why our world-class training is designed to equip new franchise owners with the knowledge they need to hit the ground running.
