Franchising: how to start a business from scratch


Respecting your time, just I want to say, if you are willing to continue working employees and to give the bulk of your forces with one goal - to make the employer's richer, do not read this article.

About honest earnings

"We need to do their work", "how much you can work on the uncle", "If I was given the opportunity," "has a cool theme" ... What a tremendous number of options phrases that we "feed" each other on a daily basis, and what are periodically reflect? It would seem that everyone around know that to do their work, which will give you the opportunity to get all the results of your work, it is better than to work for the owner, who, at best, will issue premium "saharok" in order to secure the reflex quality work. < br />
How many worked - so earned and, here is the honest earnings. But the conversations in the kitchen or on a smoke - is one thing, but actually started the business - it solved a few.

There are lots of "gotchas and reefs," which risked seriously sift indulge in "self-swimming in the sea of ​​business" daredevils. Ruthless statistics dryly claims - 10 entrepreneurs start a business, success reaches only 2. The reason - a lot of questions that determine success: what business to choose which to open a shop, where to carry the goods, how much money you need, how to assess the place to shop, and what if the item will not be sold ... and so on and so forth.

The vast majority of these questions were asked give up, "crushed" their importance and complexity. It is much easier to buy a car or a big fancy TV and receive comfort, while continuing to generate benefits for their employer. We try not to think about that when we, as employees, earned buy a car, we have created the opportunity for an employer to purchase the aircraft.

We see the goal, but the mass of the obstacles

When we opened its first retail outlet, the set goal: to share their knowledge and experience in the development of their children from an early age. We could assume that this trend will be so "charged" with positive energy of parents whose interests converge as our hobby. During the year, the number of outlets to help parents in child development, increased to five.

To say that it was easy and simple - it means to tell a lie. It was a huge mass of situations when I had to take controversial decisions and seek a way out: change of location, the introduction or removal of the product category, measures to attract customers, etc ... Looking back, it's safe to say that most of the decisions taken during the past period, They were correct. This we have seen the results of the work of our sales outlets.

"Doing the right thing - the result of experience and expertise - the result of improper actions" - the phrase is just about us - brings over 20 years of experience in retail sales, with a large number of actions that drive the experience.

Franchising - own business at low cost

The main proof of the correctness of the chosen direction "Shop of developmental toys" was the reaction of the parents realize that the process of becoming a "little Socratic" requires attention and activity on the part of relatives. With today's dynamic life, the formula for success boils down to the ability to handle large volumes of incoming information, to analyze the ever-changing data and make decisions. All of this requires certain skills and human qualities. Today's parents, who understand this reality, think about the development of their children, allowing us to obtain the skills needed in adult life. Tools for the development of diverse areas - art, logic, motor skills, imagination, form the basis of the range of stores "Little Socrates».

The desire to share their knowledge and experience with a large number of parents, as well as an understanding that this kind of business can be interesting for people who do not have substantial funds to start an independent business, has prompted us to start a franchise development project of a network of shops "Little Socrates." This project provides an additional opportunity for those who want to create jobs for themselves or their loved ones, which will give not only wages, but also additional revenue; for salaried employees who are willing and able to start their own business - the project - a small retail store.

The main advantage of this business - it brings not only financial but also moral satisfaction. The undoubted advantage is the full support of the opening of the store by the administration of a network of shops "Little Socrates" - to start a business you need only a desire and a minimum start-up capital - from 5000 USD (in the amount includes: equipment, product licensing costs, fee for entry into the network, etc.).
