10 Common Mistakes Made by Franchise Buyers

December 11th, 2009 · Articles

1. Not understanding what a disclosure document is and not reading it in detail. They can be overwhelming if you have not seen one before so after you have read them have your attorney read them.
Disclosure documents will spell out your obligations to the franchise seller and theirs to you.

Disclosure documents are written by the franchise sellers and tend to favor the seller. Read them and make sure you can live with the terms of the disclosure documents. Understand what you are agreeing to.

2. Have an attorney review the franchise disclosure documents and have him make sure you understand each obligation you will have as the buyer and the obligations the seller will have to you.

3. Relying or oral promises made by the sell. Do not rely on anything a representative of the franchise has told you. If it is not in writing it does not exist.

4. Speak with existing franchise owners. Try to read between the lines to make sure they are really happy with their purchase and the franchise management.

Questions you might ask:
• How many locations to they own?
• Would they purchase another location?
• Are they getting support from the franchise seller?
• How long have they been a franchisee?
• What problems have they run into?
• If they had it to do again, would they?

5. Attempt to reach a franchisor that has gone out of business or sold theirs to find out why.

6. Being undercapitalize will lead to failure. Make sure you have the capital to open the franchise you are interested in and enough business and working capital needed until your new franchise starts to turn a profit.

7. Go beyond meeting a local representative of the seller. Visit the corporate office and meet as many of the top dogs of the franchise you are buying as you can. Make sure you get a good feel for them and their offices. Make sure you are comfortable in dealing with them in every way.

8. Speak with new franchise owners as well as long time franchise owners. See how their experiences compare. Do new franchise owners feel their training and support is as good as the long term owners? Or better? Or not as good?

9. Analyze your market VS existing franchise locations. Are existing franchise locations in malls? Are you able to get into a mall? Are existing locations in major metropolitan areas? Are you in a rural community?

10. Google as much information as you can get. Dig deep. Google the names of all the principles of the franchise you are contemplating purchasing as well as all companies the principles have had past involvement in.

We are dedicated to the goal of providing professional and reliable medical support staffing services to healthcare providers, patients and qualified employment candidates.

BrightStar Healthcare is designed with the patient’s need for personal care and safety in mind. In a home setting, clients can expect to receive help with all personal hygiene and light housekeeping including; bathing, oral hygiene, changing linens, meal preparation and other personal services.

The Future is Bright
The future is exceptionally bright for the healthcare staffing industry. Between 1995 and 2030, the number of Americans over 65 will double, increasing the demand for home health services and all types of care for the elderly. As the baby boomer population ages, the number of nurses is declining. The need for companies providing quality healthcare staff is already growing at an exponential rate.

Now, BrightStar is expanding to the national level, sharing the success we’ve achieved with others who want to start a company like this one. BrightStar is the only national franchise of its kind, serving the needs of both private and corporate clients, providing both medical and non-medical care. BrightStar’s goal is to become the leader in the rapidly growing market of healthcare staffing services. We seek caring, dynamic people to join our team and to help us become the most exceptional company of its kind in the world. In return, we offer a franchise that promises outstanding opportunities for profit and success.

Our Mission
BrightStar Healthcare We are people who care about people. We support our clients and staff with every means possible. Our success is rooted in our values of compassion, commitment and community. We aim to become the most exceptional health care staffing service in the world.

BrightStar Healthcare is one of the few companies that serves both private clients in their homes as well as corporate entities like hospitals. That means we attract a larger number of clients and higher profits than if we offered staffing only to one group or the other. Unlike most healthcare staffing services, BrightStar also offers insurance, bonuses and vacation pay for its fulltime personnel. That makes us a highly attractive employer to caregivers and medical service providers.

Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for leaders who care about people. A background in healthcare is not necessary. Technical expertise doesn’t always translate to an ability to work with others and to make great things happen. To become a BrightStar Healthcare franchisee, you need a vision for your life, a readiness to learn and a passion to succeed. We’ll provide the rest.

Your Advantage
BrightStar offers several key advantages over comparable business opportunities:

  • The ability to provide both medical and non-medical care in one of the fastest growing markets.
  • Staffing both for private individuals and for corporate clients.
  • Thorough training allowing you to feel confident as you start your own business.
  • The most efficient and effective management software system in the industry. You spend your time focusing on sales and not the paperwork!
  • Outstanding marketing support and an ongoing commitment to helping you increase revenues.
  • Respect for your needs and dreams. We are there to support you every step of the way.

Franchise Training
The initial week of training at our headquarters in Chicago will establish the foundation for your success. This training will help you put your business on the fast track. There will be much to learn, but you will always feel comfortable and in control.

BrightStar Healthcare The BrightStar training will exceed your expectations. We know what it takes to succeed because we ourselves are in the business. We will help you avoid many of the pitfalls we faced when we started. “How do I talk to caregivers? How do I recruit clients? How do I work the software?” We’ll discuss every aspect of starting a healthcare staffing business. You’ll get to apply what you learn in simulations that mimic situations you’ll encounter in the field.

Ongoing Franchise Support
Our ongoing franchise support is designed to keep you current. In the early stages of your business, we will help reinforce the techniques and methods you learned in training. This includes:

  • Experienced staff available when you need us
  • A formal mentoring program
  • Conferring with other franchise owners
  • Updated business information on our world-class web site
  • An Internet bulletin board
  • Annual meetings

State-of-the-Art Business System
BrightStar Healthcare includes in its franchise package the Athena Business System, state-of-the-art technology for the healthcare staffing industry unavailable anywhere else. Developed by the founders of BrightStar, the program was created with you, our franchise owners in mind. You handle the selling while the computer handles the paperwork: scheduling, client information, payroll, billing, recruiting, management reporting, competitor tracking and more are all managed by the Athena Business System.

One unique highlight of this system is its staff check-in feature. Caregivers coming to work phone the computer to report their arrival. If the Athena Business System doesn’t log a call within ten minutes of a designated start time, an alarm goes out to management to notify you of the problem.

Marketing and Advertising
The BrightStar marketing program is a proven system that is effective and produces results. We will show you how to attract clients to your company and find the staff to fulfill the orders.

Our presentation materials create a positive and professional impression. Employed correctly, they will help you become the most successful healthcare service provider in your community.

    Jet-Black For Beautiful Driveways

    November 23rd, 2009 · Maintenance, Repair & Restoration

    Jet Black

    Asphalt is no jungle for successful franchisor

    AN INTERVIEW WITH: Jet-Black


    Talking to the guys in the corporate office of Jet-Black International Inc., Burnsville, MN, is like discussing a basketball game with a group of friends. The conversation ball bounces round and round, hitting highlights of the business these entrepreneurs (and relatives!) run with genuine enthusiasm and well-deserved pride.

    Co-founders and brothers Andy and Doug Hoiland have spent the last 16 years perfecting a blacktop sealant product, application method and marketing system.

    Jet Black Franchise Opportunities

    Their hard work has produced a turnkey opportunity in a highly profitable, top-rated franchise structure.

    Already experienced entrepreneurs as teenagers, the Hoiland brothers were in college when their parents asphalt driveway was sealed by a local paving company. One look at the slap-dash job convinced them that they could do better. They bought supplies and started working.

    As the number of Hoiland-protected driveways grew around town, so did the business. It wasn’t long before they realized that they would need to franchise to keep up with the number of clients calling.

    The first franchise was awarded in 1993 and Jet-Black currently has 80 franchisees, covering 135 areas in 22 states.

    What’s the deal about sealing a driveway?

    An asphalt driveway is made in three layers. The lowest layer is compacted soil and the middle is compacted and crushed gravel. The top layer, asphalt, depends on the lower layers for its flexibility and is subject to cracking over time. Cracks allow water penetration while freeze/thaw cycles further damage the surface.

    When you add in gasoline spills and oil drips, which eat away the asphalt, sunlight, which oxidizes the asphalt binder, and corrosive road salt — you can end up with a real problem.

    Jet-Black®’s sealer provides a protective, low-maintenance surface, which prolongs the life of the driveway and increases its curb appeal.

    How does Jet-Black® differ from other sealant companies?

    First, they dont do sealing as a side business to paving, like so many others. They are specialists in sealing and have even developed their own product which contains extra grit for a non-slip surface, is 100% non-tracking and has a deeper black color for esthetics.

    Second, they started their business to do a better job of sealcoating and that goal has never changed — excellent customer service and complete customer satisfaction is their number one priority. After all, as Andy says, repeat customers are a large part of their business. In fact, most customers have the service every one to three years.

    “We also respond to a client request in a timely manner,” says Andy. “We can complete an estimate in a few minutes and, if we have crews in the area, often start the job the same day. The usual length of time from a customers call to completion is three days.”

    Highlights of the Jet-Black® System

    • Recession proof — home maintenance continues to be homeowners top priority
    • Low overhead — minimal materials expense
    • Flexible weekday hours
    • Not time intensive — most jobs completed in an hour
    • Innovative marketing materials
    • Turnkey franchise
    • No store front required
    • No experience needed
    • High volume of repeat business
    • High demand service
    • Run multiple crews for larger profit
    • Largest privately held company in the industry
    • Focused, full-service asphalt maintenance services
    • Fast Start-up
    • LIVE Field Training
    • Proprietary Products
    • World-Class Support Services
    • Multiple Territories Available

    Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are being added to the Jet-Black® trucks to improve location of a customers home. “No one else in asphalt has merged technology into their business as successfully as we have,” adds Doug.

    “The overall goal,” says Andy, “is to put a professional image on a business that had been previously populated by ‘handymen’ or as a sideline to other businesses.”

    As a franchise, Jet-Black® has won numerous awards and is routinely named in lists of top picks — both as a home-based franchise and as an asphalt maintenance service.

    Seasonal work doesnt mean seasonal pay.

    Jet-Black FranchisesAccording to Bill Cook, franchise development manager, “Quality of life is one reason our franchisee base has grown so quickly in the past few years. In the cold-weather climates, this is mostly a March through November business. The Jet-Black® owner gets all of the holiday months off to relax, spend time with family, vacation. Its a seasonal business with a yearly income.”

    Jet-Black Franchises

    Adds Doug, “We do all of the marketing for the franchisee, sending out mailers and flyers to homes in their area on a routine basis. In the winter months we offer discounts to customers who prepay so that spreads out the income stream. Our franchisees can easily make a comfortable living their first year in business.”

    In the beginning, franchisees of Jet-Black tended to be owner/operators. These days, however, a number of franchisees function in a manager capacity, doing the estimates and running multiple crews who do the sealing.

    Training for new franchisees can be accomplished in one of five regional centers (franchisees who also function as franchise developers) where they get hands-on experience for a week. This is followed up with two days at corporate headquarters to learn the sales process and computer programs, including bookkeeping. All programs are networked and help is always available.

    This is a real “point and click” business, says Bill. With a modest investment, a customized trailers, superior training and automated marketing programs, the new owner can be up and running in 4-6 weeks. Theres no store front to find, no special license required. Customers pay before or upon completion of the work and the corporate office handles processing of all credit card payments.

    In development is a training DVD, which will be available in different languages to help the franchisee find and train good employees. New franchisees are also connected with established franchisees in a mentoring program to help them achieve success even more quickly.

    It’s not all black.

    Most of us who live in the northern states are familiar with black asphalt driveways and their superiority in cold climes. Asphalt is flexible and allows for expansion and contraction caused by temperature extremes. The black color retains heat which helps ice and snow to melt more quickly.

    But in southern states concrete driveways are more common. Jet-Black® can fix concrete garage floors and driveways, seal them for protection and even add a color, if so desired.

    While 90% of Jet-Black®’s business is residential asphalt sealcoating, theres also the opportunity of doing work for restaurant parking lots and other small businesses. Besides the concrete repair and seal option, franchisees can add on such extras as snowplowing and asphalt repair.

    Is Jet Black your future?

    Jet-Black® will continue expanding, adding an average of 50 new franchisees a year over the next ten years. People with prior business and/or management experience will find this opportunity a nice fit, but it is not a requirement.

    City Wide

    November 23rd, 2009 · Maid Service & Cleaning, Maintenance


    City Wide Maintenance is a unique franchise opportunity to own and manage a facility maintenance services business that has proven to be successful over a 44 year period. City Wide is a business-to-business marketing, sales, and management business model that provides over 20 quality building maintenance services to our customers through a unique, proven structured method that utilizes independent service contractors to perform the services. City Wide then manages the entire process. City Wide maintains all communications and relationships with the customer. Our program allows you to work “on” the business rather than “in” the business. Sales, marketing, and management professionals are good prospects for this franchise opportunity.

    City Wide Maintenance Franchise Image 1

    Citywide Maintenance is a leading provider of quality Janitorial and Building Maintenance services for many types of commercial property. Yes, we offer janitorial services, but we have expanded our business to include what we call the Total Solution for Building Maintenance. Basically, we are committed to delivering on our goal of being the one phone call our customers need to make to take care of all their building maintenance needs.

    City Wide offers the chance to be self employed and have ownership in a growing business that generates revenue by selling and managing repeat contract services. Services that are needed by literally every commercial property in your city.

    City Wide is a “Total Solution Franchise” , which means you will have the training and resources to support you in bidding and selling other individual services in a large, exclusive territory. This allows you multiple opportunities to open accounts instead of just having a single item to sell.

    Owning a City Wide Franchise allows you to “work on the business” rather than “in the business”. You will spend your time selling contracts, managing relationships and building your business. You do not spend your time recruiting, hiring, training and supervising hourly employees or doing the work yourself. This is an important distinction that separates City Wide from other franchised base business opportunities.

    City Wide’s primary responsibility is selling accounts and managing the customer relationships.

    City Wide works with one year signed (and automatically renewing) contracts, which provides an ongoing and compounding repeat revenue stream. This provides a building block of income so you are not starting from scratch at the beginning of every month.

    City Wide uses independent Contractors, who specialize in the services we sell. This frees us from the need of recruiting, hiring and training the workers as well as dealing with all of the headaches associated with employee intensive businesses. By doing so we have leveraged our resources and minimized our risk so we can focus on what we do best- selling and managing relationships.
