How Franchisees Are Selected?
Working as a franchisee for a franchise means that you are working in partnership with another business. Different franchises look for different qualities in their franchisees. Certain franchise opportunities also provide a greater level of support. Therefore, there are certain qualities every franchisee should possess. But each franchisor will expect certain other attributes and skills on top of these, depending on the demands of the industry in question. For instance, the ability to absorb technical know-how is crucial for a Prontaprint franchise, while people management is important in a labour-intensive environment, such as in offices or domestic cleaning businesses. Selecting the right franchisee goes beyond merely selecting the right person to be a franchisee: the franchisor must also find the right person for the right business.
