Why Franchising is Worth It

Many entrepreneurs come to a crossroads when they are thinking of opening their own business. There are two ways to go about it: starting a small business from scratch or investing in a franchise. Both have their pros and cons. Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of choosing a franchise and what makes us such a viable opportunity.

Franchise vs. Small Business

There are pros and cons to starting a small business or investing in a franchise. The biggest draws of starting a business from scratch are that you get to create your own brand, your own business model, and your own pricing. However, what may seem like benefits often turn out to be huge disadvantages. With a franchise, you get the recognition of a national brand name and a proven business model that has been tested by current franchisees. We worked to create a commercial landscaping franchise that allows you to work for yourself instead of by yourself. Our franchisees leave our training program with the confidence that they know how to run a successful franchise, and we give them ongoing support, resources, and tools for them to take the next step from servicing all their properties themselves to managing a team. With independent businesses, you simply don’t get that level of sophisticated infrastructure.

The Right Brand Makes a Huge Difference

Your franchise success depends heavily on finding the right brand. There are so many different opportunities out there, but finding the right one means identifying a franchisor that aligns with your values.  Not every candidate for a U.S. Lawns franchise comes to us necessarily looking for a commercial landscaping franchise. They come to us searching for a franchise opportunity that has a reputable brand name, unwavering values that make up the brand identity, and the power of the network that unites every franchisee across the country. The best way to find the right franchise is to determine what you want out of a franchise opportunity and find out if your values align with the brand. For example, we look for candidates who are not afraid to get their hands dirty and do some work themselves, but who also recognize when it’s time to take a step back and lead a team.

The Key Elements of a Good Franchise

There are several things that you should look for in a good franchise investment. When it comes to a commercial landscaping franchise, people of ten search for a valuable investment. This means they’re looking at theinvestment’s value, not necessarily the cost. A valuable investment will come with training, support, systems, tools, and more to help you open your business with confidence.
