During an interview toward the end of last year, Coach Rennick was asked to explain, "How do you navigate your way through the complex process of converting your small business into a franchise?" His answer was typical, easy-to-understand Rennick Language:
First: Are you a franchise candidate? You need to find out if your business is franchise-able. To determine this, you need to ask yourself if the business can be duplicated, if there is a need for this business in other states or countries, and if you can teach someone else how to do it.
Second: If you answer "yes" to all of these questions, then your business can begin the journey to becoming a franchise. Your first steps will be to trademark your name and intellectual property, create a business plan entailing expected costs, write a franchise operations manual, and set your franchise fees and royalty rates.
The final and most important step: Prepare the federally required Uniform Franchise Disclosure Document (UFDD - known commonly as the UFOC prior to July of 2008). The UFDD is a complex legal document that must be drafted by a lawyer specializing in franchising. Any potential franchisee must receive this document prior to signing onto your franchise team. When contracts are completed and signed, your small business will now have its first official franchise.
