Franchising is not complicated. It's simply a licensing agreement between an investor/operator and our company that allows the use of our Trade Name and Operational Systems. Although we don't guarantee success, we do promise to find you the best available location, and to provide you with the training, continuing support, and product sourcing that will help you succeed. The final choice of location is ours, but you are invited to make your own analysis and your comments are appreciated. We will guide you in choosing the right investment and assist you with financial planning and financing. Budgets and cash flow plans are developed individually for each new location. You will know in advance investment costs related to store construction, inventory, working capital, etc.
Getting into business is easy...being successful is tough. Front-end training is critical to success. Franchise Bancorp stresses training and retraining. Qualified Head Office Personnel will guide you through the early stages. Detailed planning goes into every phase. We will train you right in your own store and will make sure you are confident and professional. The training program never really stops. Our staff is always available to assist with continuing operations. In addition, you will always have a copy of the Operation Manual for reference.
Opening your own franchise business doesn't have to be complicated. We take all the pre-opening hard work out of being an entrepreneur and walk you through every step of the way.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
