About franchising and how it works

People considering investing in a franchising opportunity may initially ask, “Why should I buy a franchise?  Couldn’t I simply go out and start my own business?”

Some people do enter the business world in that manner. So, what is the real value of purchasing a franchise rather than “going it alone”?

First, as a franchisee, you can avoid that large “learning curve” that you might experience on your own. Think of all the questions that could come up in those first days and months. How do I market my business? What social media platforms work best? How important are reviews? What type of insurance should I carry? How do I promote my business? What kinds of customer files should I keep? What are the best recipes? What are the best ways to attract and retain clients?

Without the professional training, business experience, or connections it takes to succeed, it can be difficult to get off the ground. Many small business owners begin by hiring outside individuals with experience just for advice. Opening a business independently takes time and money.

As a franchisee, you enjoy advantages that a stand-alone, independent start-up does not. You begin with the accumulated experience, know-how, business practices and operating plan that come with a franchise.

A franchisee enjoys name-brand recognition and a network of support which provides an immediate and distinct competitive edge over the independent, stand-alone business.  You can avoid that costly trial-and-error period that causes so many problems for start-up businesses.  As a franchisee, you’ll “hit the ground running.” 

The Pie Bar™ opportunity gives franchisees the ready-made framework within which to build a successful business.
