Franchise Your Business

The franchise business model is one of the most popular and for good reason- it works.

In fact, there are over 6000 franchises operating in North America alone representing well over 2 million businesses. In fact, a franchise is opened every 2 hours, 365 days a year. It is estimated that approximately $1 of every $5 spent is in a franchised establishment and 1 in 10 employees work for a franchised business. Franchising is a way to expand your brand faster and with less capital outlay.  

Franchising is a financing decision; it’s a way to finance the expansion of your brand using other people’s money. For example, instead of borrowing $1 million to open 10 locations,  the company finds 10 individual investors called “franchisees” who each invest $100,000.  In turn they get the right to operate a business using the franchisors intellectual property, services, systems and procedures. This is often referred to as the “System”. A successful franchised brand has a complete System and this allows them to expand into multiple, identical, locations.

Whether you are a mature franchisor looking to create or revise your Systems (and sell more locations), or a new brand with only one or two profitable locations, LKC can help. We have over 30 years of franchise experience as a franchisor, master franchisee and franchise attorney. We have worked with mature and emerging brands, in a vast variety of industries.
