Owning a Franchise
Why it makes sense for entrepreneurs, investors and everyday people like you.The entrepreneurial spirit that drives someone to start a business is akin to realizing the promise of the American Dream. However, the reality of launching your own business can be challenging. Starting your own business requires a sizable capital investment with no guarantees. Add this to an unpredictable economy, and the challenges become even more daunting.
But, there is a proven and profitable alternative to the traditional model for starting a new business: purchasing your own Franchise. By purchasing a Franchise, entrepreneurs and investors are afforded an excellent opportunity to sidestep some of the largest hurdles in founding a new business. Purchasing a franchise also comes with the potential to alleviate many of the common pitfalls of a complex process.
Name Recognition and a Successful Business Model
Creating a recognized Brand and establishing an identifiable Name are more than half the battle in achieving success with any business. But, when you purchase a franchise with Relax The Back, this is already done for you. What's more, our brand name has been established because our business model has proven to be financially successful one.
Since 1984, we have created and nurtured a brand name that is recognized nationally. Each year, with more than 100 stores across the country, we generate more than $70 million in revenue as the finest retailer of ergonomic and back care products.
Locations and Leasing
At Relax The Back, we maintain a list of available territories for new franchisees in communities we feel will be receptive to your business. Each available site meets our criteria for a successful franchise.
Landlords and leasing agents love "mom and pop operators" because they represent what is sometimes known as an "unsophisticated tenant." Meaning, they are unaware of all the tricks of the trade and can be manipulated into signing a lease with unfavorable terms. Our real estate expertise, however, can help you with lease negotiation and document review, protecting your interests and securing the best possible deal.
Operations and Training
Unfortunately, a new business doesn't come with an owner's manual. However, a Relax The Back franchise does. The many franchisees that came before you have also helped create a blueprint for success. You don't have to guess about what steps to take or in which order to establish your business. We give you a tried and true method, in writing. Relax The Back also provides the training necessary to properly operate your business prior to opening your doors. We also offer instruction and advice on how to cost effectively build out your new space and purchase the equipment required for your business.
Success in the Long Run
The number of new start-up businesses that fail is staggering. Whether you're an entrepreneur trying to realize a lifelong dream (with your life savings) or an investor looking to make a return on your investment capital, the failure of a business venture can be devastating. Purchasing a franchise with Relax The Back, however, offers you a distinct advantage over the traditional start-up business scenario. As a franchisee, your business is connected to a proven commodity, with an established name. You're also gaining the benefit of back- end administrative support from a major corporation. If you consider your business from a long-term perspective, there's a much greater probability that your career as a franchisee will be a long one.
