Starting a business is something that many people dream of. Owning your own business means having full control over where your business will go. For some people who do not have experience starting a business from "zero", of course, this will be more likely to pose a lot of risks. As an alternative to these conditions, of course, BFI friends have heard of the term franchise business. Yes, a franchise business is an alternative for business people who don't want to start their business from "zero". The business capital owner (Franchisee) only needs to buy the franchise business ownership rights from the franchise owner (Franchisor), then the business can run.
Before deciding to do business using the franchise method, it would be nice for BFI friends to know the true definition, advantages, and disadvantages of doing a franchise business. In addition, we present 10 recommendations for FnB (Food and Beverage) franchise businesses that can inspire you. Is there one that is a BFI friend's business dream? Let's see together!
1. Definition of Franchise Business
A franchise business is a special right of an individual or company in a business system of a commercial nature related to the marketing of goods and/or services that have been proven successful and can be utilized by others. The owner of the business capital (Franchisee) can use the rights and licenses owned by the franchise owner (Franchisor) when it has purchased the selling value. The owner of the capital will get facilities according to the franchise package that has been selected. The more complete the facilities obtained, the greater the selling value of the franchise will be.
2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Franchise Business
2.1. Advantages of Choosing a Franchise Business
- The Brand is already Popular and Known by Many People: Customers already know the trademark before, so franchise buyers do not need to spend a budget for branding in the future.
- A Neat Business and Company Management System: Franchise buyers no longer need to build a management system from scratch, such as making standard rules/SOPs, bookkeeping, monitoring employee productivity, and including the readiness of supporting equipment and business locations.
- Established Inter-Party Cooperation: The franchisor will provide support from the provision of raw materials, relations to marketing and advertising, packaging, to Human Resources. In addition, the scope of networking for franchise buyers will undoubtedly be wider.
- Opportunity to Get Profits Faster: Because a franchise business already has a good management and exposure system, the opportunity to get a return on investment and get a profit is achieved more quickly.
2.2. Disadvantages of Choosing a Franchise Business
- Limited Control Space and Creativity: Because the management system has been determined by the franchise business owner the franchisee is less able to explore ideas that would be able to develop the business he is running. If possible, any ideas and input should be further discussed between the two parties.
- Influenced by Market Trends: Market trends greatly affect the ups and downs of franchise business income. For example, in the past, the Jamur Crispy franchise was top-rated, but 5 years later its position has been replaced by the popularity of Ayam Geprek. The purchasing power and tastes of the community will determine the sustainability of this franchise business.
- Reputational Risk: The existence of a franchise business location is not only centered in one area but can be spread over several areas with different ownership. Thus, maintaining a franchise business reputation in their respective regions is very important for the sustainability of other franchise businesses that are still under one management.
- Profit-Sharing System: Some franchises still apply a profit-sharing system for franchise owners and buyers. Thus, the franchisee does not get 100% of the existing profits. However, there are also franchises that apply 100% of the profits to be obtained by the franchisee.
