master-franchise-chartAbout Master Franchise Opportunity

Imagine coming up with the idea of a new franchise concept that explodes in your area with dozens of new units opening up. Imagine having control of this concept and receiving royalties and franchise fees on a consistent basis. Imagine having an idea like McDonald's ® and having people line up at your door to buy into your opportunity. Imagine having access to the best business experts to help guide you in your new venture to build your organization to last. This opportunity is extremely rare, yet there are such businesses available if you know where to look. This unusual highly successful opportunity is called Master franchising.

With Master franchising you get all the benefits mentioned above without the expense of having to develop the concept from scratch. You get control of the successful franchise system in a specific geographic area, a proven track record that works, the brand name and even a partner in the form of a corporate office and other master franchises to give you valuable support, latest innovations and business expertise when you need it.

As a master or regional franchise your ways of generating income are expanded over that of a normal franchise. With a normal franchise, you are generally offering the product or service directly to the end use customer such as as retail store. With a master franchise you can generate income through your own stores if you wish with a significantly reduced royalty and franchise fee. In addition you can generate sales through:

Franchise Fees: When you sell a franchise, you receive a franchise fee. Most franchise fees are between $20,000 to $30,000 and in a typical master franchise program you get to keep most of the fee!

Ongoing royalties: This is the ultimate income source. Once you help set up a franchise, you receive royalty income for the rest of the life of that franchise. Imagine receiving 2% to 5% of your franchisee's volume every month for many years.

Products or additional services: Often products or additional services needed by the franchisees are sold in the franchisee's outlet can bring excellent income.

Real Estate: If real estate is involved with the franchisee's location, often the master can become involved in development of sites and receive other types of real estate related income.

A Very Prestigious Business

The prestige of owning a master franchise and controlling an entire area can offer you an opportunity to feel great satisfaction . Your main job will be to act as an as a business consultant to your franchisees and help them succeed in their own business. You will be associated with the elite brand name of the franchise as the main developer of an area even though it will be your own franchisees investing their money. You don't need to know anything about the industry. You will receive initial training and then ongoing training from the corporate office.

Improved Quality Of Life

Master franchisees own and enjoy a quality of life business. Here are some key characteristics about the typical Master Franchisee:

  • Very few customers: Your customers are your franchisees. You help support a small number of franchisees who typically own several franchise units each.

  • Very few employees: Typically you will operate a master franchise by yourself and then expand to have an administrative assistant, a trainer or other support person and a franchise sales person. As you grow bigger, you add more of these positions into your staff and perhaps a general manager to run the whole operation and can back away almost completely if desired. We have found that many master franchisees after working for three to seven years can retire and live off a extremely good income and spend one or two days a month in the office.

  • Very little office space: Many master franchises can be started out of a home office. Once you get enough franchisees in place you can expand into outside office.

  • You build equity in the business at a much faster rate than a normal business: Once you sell a few franchises or open your own stores, you increase the value of your business significantly. Not only do you have an existing business with cash flow, but you have additional franchise opportunities to sell which gives the master franchise a higher value typically between four to nine times earnings instead of the typical 1.8 to 2.8 times earnings of normal businesses.

  • Low overhead: Usually you don't have to jump into business with a large office, staff and overhead expenses. You can expand it as you go.

  • You have the option of setting up your own franchises at reduced rates: As you open your own outlets you create another asset of value. You now have your master franchise with a specific value and also your own franchise with its value. As the value of your franchise increases, it increases the value of your master franchise. They are separate assets you can sell when you wish.

  • You own an exclusive territory: Only you and your designated franchisees will be allowed to develop franchises in your territory.

  • More freedoms exist in a master franchise than a normal franchise: You help set the standards of franchise in your area.

  • You stay up to date on the latest technology: Being part of a larger franchise system allows the best ideas to flow into the corporate office and then into the field. You will have your own research and development built right in.

  • You don't need experience in the specific industry: You will receive industry specific training and support from the corporate office.

  • It can be started part-time and then you can move to full time as required by the business you bring on.

  • And best of all--- its a franchise! Franchises as a whole enjoy a 92% success rate. Master franchises typically enjoy a 92% success rate. Master franchises typically have been a better success rate than the normal franchise. All you need to do is find the right master franchise for you. Master franchising or regional development franchises as they are some times called are the best kept secret in business today... for the right person.
