FRANCHISE COACH
“Sometimes you just need to jump in to find out how deep the water really is”
– Kapil Manocha
Having extensively lived both the life of an entrepreneur, and that of a corporate executive, Kapil understands the value and the liberating feeling of being your own boss. He understands that not everyone is cut out for the 9-5, and that some people like to take control of their lives and want to enjoy the flexibility of time and freedom of action that business ownership provides.
Kapil grew up surrounded by entrepreneurs in India. He moved to the U.S. in 2000 to pursue an MBA at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and then worked for several Fortune 500 companies in roles spanning Supply Chain Management, Quality, and Operational Excellence. Although Kapil achieved tremendous success in his corporate career, he always felt something missing in his life, until his entrepreneurial roots finally pulled him back into business ownership. Today, he is a multi-unit owner of a salon suite franchise, a franchise coach, a public speaker, and an author.
Kapil is very passionate about being his own boss. He never found satisfaction in working for someone else and in building wealth for others. He believes that most people want to be independent and be their own boss, but just can’t find the path to do it. He finds tremendous fulfillment in helping others discover the same passion, and in guiding them to realize their dream of entrepreneurship. If you’re looking to explore business ownership you can rely on Kapil to help evaluate and select franchise opportunities that are right for you
INVEST IN A FRANCHISE
There are over 3500 companies that franchise in the US. From food to fitness, health and nutrition to salons and med spas, education and childcare to medical services and senior care, home remodeling, automotive, IT services, staffing, payroll and financial services, property management, etc……the list goes on and on. Each of these has a different set of criteria – some require more personal time and can only be run as owner operators, while others can be run as a semi-absentee owner, some can be operated from home while others require a brick-and-mortar location, investment levels can vary significantly, business hours and work life balance will be different, some cater exclusively to commercial customers while others are geared towards residential clients. It is important to consider the complete range of business characteristics when picking a franchise opportunity to ensure long term success. As long as you have the entrepreneurial drive, we can assure you that we can find the right fit for your specific needs.
FRANCHISE YOUR BUSINESS
Do you have a lucrative and profitable business? But does it also consume a significant amount of your time to be able to run successfully? How can you extract yourself from the day-to-day minutiae and yet make more money? Should you open and operate more locations? But that would mean more buildings, more leases, more employees, more marketing, more purchasing. How to scale without adding more to your plate?
As a small business owner, do questions like these cross your mind?
What if you had multiple locations across the US and independent operators running each location – paying their own rent, hiring their own employees, doing their own local marketing, etc., AND paying you a share of their revenues? Converting your business into a FRANCHISE allows you to do that.
Franchising is a great way to scale. Companies like McDonald’s®, Great Clips®, Kumon®, Planet Fitness®, etc. are examples of businesses that have created immensely successful franchise models.
There are several things to put in place to be able to legally offer a franchise in the US and grow it successfully. You must have a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), an Operating Manual, and a Franchise Agreement. You must define what your initial franchise fee, ongoing royalty, and national ad fund will be. And a host of other such things.
At Our Franchise Guru we help you convert your existing prosperous businesses into an even more successful FRANCHISE.
