Casual Articles - Franchise Companies Come and Go
They're Not Robots Out of Sync,Do you know each of your people? The individual they really are, not just the person who works for you? Do you know their spouse's name? What about the kids? As much as we are individuals we also have common desires that motivate us. In his theory “The Hierarchy of Needs” Abraham Maslow defines those common desires as:Physiological- The desire for food, shelter, warmth and comfortSafety- The desire to survive without threatBelonging- The des Disclosure Laws Hurting Company Proprietary Information, Required Disclosures which Might Help International Terrorists, Disclosure Laws, which Require the Giving Out of Personal Information About Franchisees.

This is good news for America, right? Well, yes and know. Yes, because franchising is the closest thing to the spirit of free enterprise as any other method of doing business and because franchising offers small business people advantages that they would not normally have in pursuing their American Dream. However it is unfortunate but true that the average Franchisor failure rate is 5:1 in five years. Meaning they are gone out of business in that short amount of time. This is horrific news really. Why is this? Well most often it is due to over regulation, junk lawsuits, under capitalization or greed. Having played in the franchising industry I have seen it all.Any attempt to describe a human mind in physical terms is bound to be symbolic. Yet there are certain symbols used in both military and marketing operations that seem to be especially appropriate.In a military war, hills or mountains are usually considered strong positions, especially useful for defense. In a marketing war, management people often refer to strong positions as “high ground.” So it seems appropriate to use the mountain as a key concept in marketing warfar Recently I had, had enough of the crap of beating my head against the wall, sure the money is excellent if you have a good concept and we certainly do; www.CarWashGuys.com ; but we found it was easier to make more money and keep more by not growing thru franchising. In franchising you can grow faster, in a 4-year period we went from 4 states to operations and franchised outlets in over 23 states. My point is that there are just too many lawyers and regulations for one to actually believe that anyone in government actually believes in free enterprise, to think they do is a bogus notion indeed. In our company we are not currently offering franchises to the public. Our focus is to set up company owned units across the US and eventually the world and since I have retired the team will have to do it on their own, sure a few phone calls here and there for moral support or advice, but it just is not worth dealing with that level of bureaucracy and over lititigiousness. We may franchise in other countries but the United States being regulated by the Federal Trade Commission has their heads up their asses and it makes no sense in America anymore. Generally this business decision was made due to many following factors, some of which are listed below: Sarbaines Oxley Law and Accounting Reporting Cost Increases, Over Regulation in Franchising and Litigation, Multiple State Franchise Registration Laws Out of Sync, Disclosure Laws Hurting Company Proprietary Information, Required Disclosures which Might Help International Terrorists, Disclosure Laws, which Require the Giving Out of Personal Information About Franchisees.

Why is this? Well most often it is due to over regulation, junk lawsuits, under capitalization or greed. Having played in the franchising industry I have seen it all.Government contracts are not as unattainable as the paperwork makes them seem. Once you learn the system, they can be an excellent source of revenue for your business - even when the economy takes a dip and business is harder to come by.Federal, state, and municipal agencies routinely contract for outside support. They have to; the requirements for all of the services they provide far exceed the internal structure of most government agencies.The key to winning a Recently I had, had enough of the crap of beating my head against the wall, sure the money is excellent if you have a good concept and we certainly do; www.CarWashGuys.com ; but we found it was easier to make more money and keep more by not growing thru franchising.

Regretfully this does impact the small business community, franchise model and those who dream of owning their own franchise business. Over regulation usually does hurt the little guys and stifle competition and creates barriers to entry. We are not the only franchisor who feels this way and if the failure rates for franchisors in our country are 5:1 it would behoove new entrants to the franchising industry to think long and hard before getting into the franchise game. If you do not have a million dollars going in, you should not go. If you have not proven your concept in many markets over various business cycles forget it. Additionally you may want to look at alternatives to franchising, because with all this over regulation you are not going to have any fun doing it. Think on this.
