Exploring Your Business Format Franchise Opportunity

Did you know? There’s not just one franchise business model. When you enter the world of franchising, you’re likely to encounter three different business models:

• Product franchises, where you sell the franchisor’s products but don’t have to follow their systems
• Manufacturing franchises, where you produce the franchisor’s products using their brand name and formula
• Business format franchises, where you become part of the brand and have access to their business model

Business format franchises like The Tailored Closet offer entrepreneurs a proven path to success. Let’s take a closer look at this smart franchising option.

What Is a Business Format Franchise?

When you choose a business format franchise, you’re given access to a turnkey franchise system and established business model. In return for following the franchisor’s rules and guidelines, you receive their product or service offerings, marketing strategies, operational procedures, and comprehensive guidance. 

Business format franchises stand out from other franchise models in several key ways:

• Turnkey business system encompassing all aspects of the operation
• Ability to use established brand names and trademarks, expediting customer acquisition and fostering immediate trust
• Ongoing franchise training and support, including coaching and guidance, marketing assistance, industry expertise, and technological innovations 
• Lower operating costs and collective buying power

Your business format franchise can be tailored to your interests and goals. They tend to be easy franchises to open. While some of the best-known business format franchises are in the food service industry, like McDonald’s and Subway, you can also pursue retail opportunities like 7-Eleven and fitness brands like Orangetheory Fitness. Most sectors of the recession-resilient home services industry offer business format franchises, too. With over 150  franchises nationwide, The Tailored Closet is a leader in the home organization and closet design market.

Drawbacks of Business Format Franchises

While the advantages of choosing a business format franchise are clear, they’re not the right choice for everyone. First and foremost, you are legally obligated to follow the franchisor’s systems and processes. While you’ll acquire more flexibility in regard to scheduling and day-to-day operations over time, you have to adhere to your franchisor’s business model. 

It's also important to keep in mind that you will be responsible for a number of recurring fees over the life of your franchise, like royalties and the marketing fund. While these fees go toward the franchisor’s support of your business, they do come from your gross sales and can impact your profits. 

Similarly, the startup costs for some business format franchises can be considerable. Home service franchises like the Tailored Closet, however, tend to have lower initial investments.

The Tailored Closet: Remodel Your Future

Among your business format franchise options, the home services industry stands out as a smart investment. That said, with so much competition in home services, choosing an opportunity in a niche market like home organization may be your best bet.
