Franchise Business Data & Analysis

In measuring business opportunities, access to good data and analysis can be vital. The franchise business is no exception. Franchise opportunities flourish where the data and analysis support growth. The best place to begin gathering data is directly from the franchisor. Any high quality franchise business will have access to the data impacting its business model. But keep in mind, the franchise opportunity usually pays a considerable fee for this data.

There are also companies that supply independent surveys on specific franchise opportunities. These surveys usually include interviews with franchisees from the specific franchise business and a general sense for the health of the system. Although these should not be used in lieu of your due diligence, they can be a useful starting place.

If you want to gather general data on the franchise business, there are other places to look. Every few years a comprehensive study is conducted on the franchise business. A few of these studies are listed here for download. Also listed are various companies that offer packages or specialized studies on either the franchise business or on specific franchise opportunities. Although these studies can be costly, in some cases, they are the only place to secure the data you may need.

About Rick Bisio

Although many people would say my entry into the franchise business was in 1994, I would have to say it happened long before that. The franchise business is just a subsection of entrepreneurship, something I have been involved in my entire life.

I was born in Kansas City, the son of a hard working and independently minded father. Naturally, my father owned his own business. Entrepreneurship is what I knew growing up and it is the foundation of how I look at the world. If you want your children to grow up confident in their own abilities, start a business and let them take part. It will give them the confidence to tackle anything in life.

Although I had many small businesses in my youth, my first full time business started when I was 25 years old. I secured the exclusive rights to import a variety of Italian plumbing brands and promptly quit my corporate job. When I started this business, I knew nothing about plumbing products and I had no contacts within the United States plumbing industry. This was what you commonly call a ‘boot-strap start-up’. Suffice it to say that I learned a lot.

After selling my business, I spent several years both teaching and studying. While studying for my Master’s Degree in International Business in the early 1990’s, I was introduced to the franchise business model. This chance encounter changed my life.

I joined AFC Enterprises - Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits, Church’s Chicken, Cinnabon and Seattle’s Best Coffee - as their Director of International business. During the 1990’s I visited over 60 countries and successfully established these franchise systems in over 30 countries. Thanks to the many wonderful people that coached and mentored me during those years, I literally gained a lifetime of experience in the franchise business.

Since 2002, I have been given the wonderful opportunity to share my experiences in the franchise business by providing coaching services to individuals considering buying a franchise. My objective in this book is the same as in my practice. I want to match the right person to the right franchise and, in the process, share my knowledge about the franchise business.Buying a franchise is an important decision. I know this book will help you.
