Exploring the Concept of ‘Franchising’: The Word, In a Strict Sense, Means “Freeing”
The word franchising, with the root “Franc” from the Anglo-French, meaning “Free,” almost literally means “Freeing” – which makes perfect sense when you realize the freedom that investing in a franchise operation imparts to the franchisee. It is a certain freeing up from the burden of going it solo, and having to scramble in uncertainty for where your advertising and marketing dollars will come from. It’s certainly a freeing up from the question, “How am I going to package and sell my business?”
And it’s certainly a freeing up of the other nagging questions that burn away at non-franchised business owners, such as, “Will this concept really succeed?” and “Will I be able to make a profit at this, and feed my family and save for the future?”
In the world of franchising, one of the main reasons franchisee candidates are enticed to invest is that there is a demonstrably-shown ability of the brand and business to turn a profit and replicate, or market itself successfully. All of these are best evidence of the concept of “freeing” of franchise business owners from the burdens and stresses of these aforementioned questions.
So, it is a freeing up from nagging doubt, at last, which is a great burden lifted indeed! Sure, there are still the nominal, manageable stresses of running a business day-to-day, but by and large the freeing that’s part and parcel with the concept of franchising produces a “quality of life” effect that is franchising’s own best advertisement.
