Expansion Opportunities

When looking at franchise opportunities understanding what expansion plans a franchise group has will help you determine whether it fits within your long term ambitions. You may have worked your way up the corporate ladder, so now you should think about your choice of franchise in the same way you would think of your career and consider growth strategies for the business. Does the system you are looking at offer multi-unit growth options? Will they help you source capital to expand?

What programs does the franchise group offer to help you develop multi-unit ownership skills?

The expansion category indicates whether franchisees feel that their franchise company provides good opportunities for expansion and continuity of their business.

The expansion component looks at whether the franchise company actively supports and caters for multi-unit ownership by helping you to source capital to expand.

The business continuity component considers the steps involved in renewing a franchise agreement. For franchisees, this means that they have the security of knowing that they will be continuing in their business for another term and can make medium to long term plans for expansion of their business.
