Companies that Franchise
Though there are hundreds of companies in franchising, not all franchisors are created equal. When you’re looking for a company to join, it’s important to make sure they have the quality, integrity, and ethics you can put your faith – and financial future – into.
Standards Help Ensure Success
Luckily, there is an organization whose mission is to protect, enhance, and promote franchising. International Franchise Association (IFA) members “must have a satisfactory financial condition and comply with all applicable franchise laws. In addition, all members must agree to abide by the Code of Ethics.”
Express Employment Professionals takes this charge seriously. The company is a proud member of the IFA. Company Founders Bob Funk and Bill Stoller are members of the IFA. Bob also serves as a member of the board and has received prestigious awards such as IFA Entrepreneur of the Year.
Why Do Companies Franchise?
Many companies choose to franchise as a way to grow the company and the brand and the business. There are hundreds of companies in franchising, according to the International Franchise Association, and there are literally thousands of franchises in the world today.
How Can Franchising Benefit Me?
There is a relationship between franchisors and franchisees that is unique within the business world. This relationship gives entrepreneurs an affordable way to develop a business, and more quickly and with much lower risk than independent business ownership. Another benefit of franchising is the support offered by the franchise system. Simply put, being a franchisee means being in business “for yourself but not by yourself,” according to the IFA.
At Express, our founders chose to use the franchising model as a way to fulfill their mission of helping people succeed. The Express franchise opportunity equips qualified individuals to create the business of their dreams by using a proven system and quality products. In 25 years, the Express has become a $2 billion international business – all from very humble beginnings. The vision and passion of the company’s founders extends to our franchisees, who are pursuing their own dreams while making an impact in companies and individuals.
By helping companies find great people and matching job seekers with great positions, Express franchisees make a positive impact in their communities.
