Top Reasons To Buy A Massage Therapy Franchise | Article

Top Reasons To Buy A Massage Therapy Franchise Today

As a franchise sales consultant I am often asked what’s the next hot concept on the horizon in the franchising world? Or what previously untapped or overlooked industry offers a business model that could potentially be well suited for franchising? Well if you had told me that massage therapy services was a good candidate I never would have guessed it. But in fact that’s exactly what had happened over the last 10 years or so as massage therapy has become a highly successful main stream franchising category with nearly a dozen established franchise brands operating in the marketplace now.

In this short article I will outline some of the top reasons why you should consider buying a massage therapy franchise business today.

A Main Street Business: The massage therapy industry has come along way in the last dozen years. Before that time businesses that offered massages had a more dubious reputation in the minds of some in the public. And many considered getting a massage a superficial luxury that only the rich could afford. But over the last decade these negative perceptions have faded significantly as more Americans have chosen to visit licensed massage therapists. This new positive perception is also being bolstered by the fact that the evidence keeps mounting about the legitimate therapeutic benefits that massage therapy can offer individuals. But the most significant sign (in my opinion) that massage therapy has gone main stream over the last 12 years is how it’s been embraced by the franchising industry as a viable and very profitable business model.

Fast Growing Market: It is estimated that US consumers receive 230 million massages annually (and growing) and spend upwards of 15 plus billion dollars doing so. Massage Industry statistics also indicate that baby boomers are the most frequent and top demographic that utilize massage therapy services today. Health care professionals and physicians are also increasingly recommending massage therapy as a viable treatment in certain circumstances. These trends and facts bode well for the massage franchise industry gong forward as baby boomers (55 and older) are the fast growing population segment in

America

. In short the main streaming and rising demand for massage therapy services bodes extremely well for established massage franchises and franchisees that are in position to capture and service this growing market.

Very Profitable Business: With the average price of a massage being $60 per hour and the number of Americans seeking massage therapy averaging 7 visits a year, massage franchises offer a business model that is designed to generate high profits and highly sought after repeat business. Couple this with the fact that unlike traditional retail franchises like restaurants massage therapy spas have relatively low overhead expenses as there is little or no inventory to carry or expensive equipment to maintain and a large staff is generally not required.

Other Advantages: Opening and operating a massage therapy franchise clinic is relatively easy and is considered a fun life style business. And when you buy a massage franchise business you are basically buying a turn key and proven business model that has all your operating systems and procedures in place which should in most cases increase your chances of success. Another advantage to the massage therapy business model is that you can’t get a massage over the internet. So even though there will always be competition there is no web based business model out there lurking that could potentially be a major competitive threat.

Top Reasons To Start A Health Care Franchise | Article

2010-11-15T09:55:00.000-08:00

For a number of reasons there has probably never been a better time to start a health care related franchise. In this article you will find some of the top and most compelling reasons to consider starting your own health care franchise today. This includes info about some of the emerging social, demographic, and economic trends in the marketplace that bode extremely well for the healthcare industry in general. As well as some of the advantages that franchising can offer to individuals who want to maximize their chances of owning a successful health care services business.

Favorable Demographics and Market Trends:

With the inevitable aging of the huge baby boomer generation it is estimated by the US Census that by the year 2030 over 70 million Americans will be over the age of 65. This population trend will produce enormous business opportunities in the senior health care services industry for savvy entrepreneurs who position themselves to serve this fast growing age demographic. In particular non-medical and in home care services are expected to be one of the hottest growth segments in health care industry as more seniors choose to decline residing in assisted living facilities for a number of reasons including economic.

The Fastest Growing Industry:

By all estimates the Health care industry overall is still the fastest growing industry in the

and demand for health care services will continue to expand for the foreseeable future. In particular the home health care services industry is expected to grow significantly in the next decade. This bodes well for small and locally owned businesses (including franchise businesses) that are positioned to provide non-medical and in home care service to seniors and the elderly.

Recession Resistant Industry:

For many reasons, including the fact that health care spending is generally considered a necessary expense and not discretionary, the health care industry is widely regarded as extremely recession resistant, if not recession proof. Thus owning a recession proof business or franchise can obviously provide a small business owner with a level of security and predictability about the future that is very enviable in this day and age.

Turnkey & Proven Business:

One of the hallmarks and biggest advantages of buying a franchise business is that it allows you to go into business for yourself, but not by yourself - which should ultimately increase your chances of success. Today most established health care franchises can offer a turnkey and proven business model with a track record of success that you can verify in the due diligence process before you sign a franchise agreement. This includes the opportunity to talk with other franchisees in the system to help validate the viability and profitability of the franchiser’s particular business model.

Low Start-Up Costs:

In general many home health care and assisted living services franchises being offered today are relatively very affordable and have low start up costs. This is particularly true when you compare the costs of opening a more traditional retail brick & mortar type franchise like a fast food restaurant. Some health care services franchises even have the option to be operated form a home-based office which can also help lower your initial start-up costs as well as significantly help reduce your monthly overhead expenses.

Top Reasons to Buy A Low Cost Franchise

With many prospective entrepreneurs finding their financial resources greatly diminished by the recent and severe economic downturn, and the continuing credit squeeze still significantly hindering small business lending, its no wonder that the appeal of low cost and affordable franchise opportunities has never been greater. This article will detail some of the obvious and top reasons why investing in a low cost franchise opportunity makes good sense for many individuals in today’s market.

Affordability:

The number one and most obvious reason why low cost franchise opportunities are so appealing today is because of there relative affordability. When compared to many traditional and popular brick and mortar franchises like fast food restaurants for example, that on average cost anywhere between $300k to $500k, most low cost service related franchises generally cost less than $100k to start-up. Because of the lower investment required these types of franchises are often able to be purchased by individuals using there owner personal financial resources. This in turn can often eliminate the headaches and time consuming delays many franchise buyers experience when trying to secure bank or SBA financing to purchase a more expensive franchise opportunity. And let’s not forget that with no burdensome loan payment every month the new franchise owner can put more money in his or her pocket.

Easier To Get Started:

Because most low cost franchises tend to be service related they generally don’t require the time consuming build out of a new location. Consequently they can often be up and running very quickly. This is an obvious advantage to entrepreneurs who for various reasons such as a job loss need to get a business off the ground quickly. In fact, many low cost franchises can often be operated from a home office thus even eliminating the need and time to find and lease an office or retail space.

Easier To Grow Business:

With a lower overall investment required many low cost franchise opportunities can often be easier and less expensive to expand or grow. This appeals too many first time and inexperienced small business owners who are concerned about minimizing their risk. The option to grow the business by taking smaller incremental steps and with out making a big investment can be very comforting.

Lower Overhead Expenses:

Unlike your typical brick and mortar franchise opportunity many low cost franchises are designed to be an owner operated and generally have little or no staffing requirements. Many are also designed to be either home-based or don’t require expensive and high traffic retail space further reducing monthly overhead costs. Obviously with lower overhead and operating expenses your chances of reaching profitability and putting more money into your pocket can increase dramatically.

Offers Potential Better Lifestyle:

And finally because many low cost franchise opportunities today are service related and can be operated from a home office you could potentially have a lot more flexibility in running your business. Ultimately this could also provide you with more free time to spend on other priorities in your life including your family.

List Of Top Reasons Some Franchises Fail

2010-05-17T15:39:00.000-07:00

Article Summary:

Provides a list of some of the top reasons why some individual franchise businesses and locations don’t succeed an ultimately fail.

Buying a franchise business is widely regarded as a very effective way for the average entrepreneur to minimize their risk when starting a new business. In general terms I would agree that this claim is accurate. However, don’t kid yourself that just because you opted to start a franchise business that you are more or less guaranteed to achieve success. In my experience nothing could be further from the truth. Many new franchise businesses fail, and fail all the time. Below in my opinion and experience is a few of the main reasons why some franchise businesses don’t make it.

Bad Franchise Location:

For retail franchise businesses it’s all about location, location, location. In my opinion a marginal location with poor visibility and low organic traffic can often be an impossible obstacle to overcome when launching a new retail franchise business. Before signing any retail lease for a franchise location make sure you thoroughly investigate the organic traffic potential of the site including soliciting the opinions of other business owners in the immediate area.

Incompetent Ownership & Unrealistic Expectations:

Many new franchise businesses never stand a chance of surviving because the owner is just not capable of following the basic franchise system, or is unwilling to put in the hard work and make the necessary sacrifices required to succeed. Unfortunately as a small Business Broker I see this scenario arise all the time in the form of a phone call from a new franchise owner that wants to sell 6 months after opening. Many of these owners reveal that operating a franchise is not what they expected or it’s just too much hard work. In lot of these cases I believe the Franchiser probably never should have awarded a franchise license to some of these candidates in the first place. But at the end of the day it’s the responsibility of the franchisee to make sure they fully understand the commitment and hard work that’s required to succeed in today’s marketplace.

Brutal Competition:

Many new franchise businesses face overwhelming competitive forces from similar franchise concepts and independent businesses already entrenched in their target market. In some cases this includes competition from other fellow franchisees who have been allowed by the franchiser to open other locations in a relatively small market area. In short, it’s my opinion that many major metro markets are completely oversaturated with certain types of franchising concepts making it sometimes extremely difficult for new franchise owners to make a living and ultimately succeed.

Franchise Fad:

Inevitably there are going to certain hot franchising concepts that emerge in the market place that are ultimately going to fizzle out as a fad. Remember the meal preparation franchise craze? Maybe because I’m a guy, but I never thought this was a very compelling or strong franchising concept to begin with. But regardless of what I thought, it appears that the vast majority of meal preparation franchises that opened between 2002 and 2008 (under several different franchiser flags) have closed their doors already with many franchisees loosing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process. The moral of the story is just because a new franchise concept is popular or hot doesn’t mean it’s a proven business model.

Under Capitalization:

One of the most common reasons I have found that a lot of franchise businesses ultimately fail is they are simply don’t have enough working capital to survive the initial start-up phase. It’s a fairly well known franchising fact that the majority of new franchise businesses are not able to show a profit until there second year in business. This is why it’s crucial to have adequate working capital in reserve to meet your operating expenses until you can reach profitability.

Summary:

Please keep in mind that all prospective business buyers should thoroughly investigate any franchise or business, obtain all appropriate disclosure documents available, and seek expert consultation prior to making any investment decisions.
