When you’re building a business, it can take years to get it off the ground. It’s an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be exhausting. Franchising or licensing can offer a way to grow your business that is faster than traditional startup methods. The first year or so may be a slower build-up as marketing, PR, and sweat equity gets the word out regarding a business opportunity and then people begin to buy in. The really intriguing element of franchising or licensing is that once the system begins to build momentum it can have a tremendous snowball effect and the growth can develop exponentially. Growing a business is hard. It’s even harder when you’re trying to do it with multiple people who don’t share the same values and goals. In order to replicate your business model successfully, it is critical that you allow new partners to have their own feeling of ownership in the business relationship.
