Benefits of Franchising

Every year over a million people in this country start a business of some sort. There is excitement and hope as the new entrepreneurs pour their all into their dream. Unfortunately for most, the dream turns into a nightmare.

According to the Small Business Administration, by the end of the first year at least 40% of them will be out of business; more than 400,000 such businesses will close their doors. If you’re thinking of going into business by yourself, don’t do it! There is a better way.

Within five years, more than 80% of them will have failed (800,000). And within five more years another 80% of the survivors will fail. Out of a million start ups, only 40,000 will make it. What makes you think you are different?

It used to be that restaurants were the #1 business category to fail, but not anymore:

Contractors have now surpassed restaurants as
the #1 business most likely to fail.

Now that you know your chances of making it on your own, you have to ask yourself, “Why should I even attempt to play this high risk game? My chances are not good.”

But don’t despair; there is another way – a tried and tested, proven method of doing business. The numbers speak for themselves.

Franchising

Franchising has revolutionized business. One new franchise opens every 8 minutes of every single business day in this country. It is a wildly successful way of doing business.

Whereas 80% of all independent businesses fail within the first 5 years, 75% of all franchises succeed. The reason for the success is the prototype – franchises are all based on a working model.

According to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Commerce, from 1971-1997 fewer than 5% of franchises closed on an annual basis. Compare that statistic to the more than 80% failure rate of independently owned businesses and you can immediately understand the power of the franchise business model.

In 2000, there were 320,000 franchised businesses in 75 industries. They produce $1 trillion in sales each year - almost 50% of every retail dollar spent in the country each year. Think about it: you help make franchises succeed. Fifty cents of every dollar you spend, you spend at a franchised business.

Your business needs to be a fool-proof, predictable business. A system dependent business that is easy to run.

You can do this just like I did by building a system from scratch or you can investigate the possibility of becoming the next Plumbing Doctor franchisee. It took me more than ten years to build the Plumbing Doctor system. Do you want to spend the next ten years developing systems that may fail or do you want to spend the next ten years building a successful business?

The Plumbing Doctor system provides you the peace of mind you desire, while allowing you the freedom to own your own business.

Just because you understand plumbing,
doesn’t mean you understand the plumbing business.

A real plumbing business is not about plumbing, it’s about business.
A business says to your customer that your people know what they are doing.
A business says that we have structure in place.
A business says to your customer that he can trust in the result.
A business says to your customer that she can have a consistently rewarding experience every time, time after time.

The true product of the Plumbing Doctor is not plumbing; it is the experience we offer to the consumer.
