1 What is driving your interest in franchising?

Select up to two.

Expand into new markets Grow faster than I could on my own Build another revenue stream Create a larger, more valuable brand Reduce the capital required to open additional locations People keep asking if they can open one Create a long term growth or exit strategy I am exploring what is possible

3 How many locations or operating units do you currently have?

4 How would you describe the financial performance of your business?

Consistently profitable with predictable results Profitable, but results vary somewhat Growing quickly and approaching consistent profitability Still working toward sustainable profitability I am not completely sure how to evaluate this yet

5 Could someone other than you successfully operate the business today?

Yes. The business already operates successfully without my daily involvement Mostly. My team handles most day to day operations Somewhat. I am still involved in several important areas Not yet. The business depends heavily on me I am not sure

6 How documented are your business systems and processes?

Think operations, customer experience, hiring, training, sales, marketing and financial controls.

Very documented. We have established processes and training materials Mostly documented, with a few areas that need work Some processes are documented, but much still lives with me or key employees Very little is formally documented We have not started documenting yet

7 If you opened another location or territory tomorrow, how easily could you recreate the customer experience?

Very easily. We know exactly what needs to happen Fairly easily, although we would need to refine a few things It would depend heavily on the people involved It would be difficult without my direct involvement I am not sure

9 Have customers, employees or other business owners ever asked about opening one of their own?

10 How dependent is the business on your personal relationships, reputation or expertise?

Very little. The brand and systems drive the business Somewhat, but the business can operate successfully without me Quite a bit. I am still an important part of the customer experience or sales process Heavily. I am essentially the face and engine of the business I am not sure

True Mostly true It depends I am still getting comfortable with that idea

13 How soon would you ideally like to begin franchising?

Within 3 to 6 months Within 6 to 12 months Within the next 1 to 2 years I am not sure. I am exploring whether franchising makes sense

This may include legal documentation, operations, training, technology, marketing and franchisee support.
