1. Track Record of Success. Supreme International has developed a method of doing business that works well and produces successful results. Even better, they’re required to provide you with a great deal of information in their required disclosures so you can investigate and verify the results with existing franchisees prior to making your final decision.
2. Strong Brand. One of the biggest advantages of Supreme International is that the company is building a brand on regional, national and international basis that should have value in the eyes of customers you’re trying to attract.
3. Training Programs. Supreme International conducts training programs designed to bring you up to speed on the most successful methods to run the business. They should also have reference materials to assist you in dealing with whatever comes up while you’re running your business.
4. Ongoing Operational Support. Supreme International has a staff dedicated to providing ongoing assistance to franchisees. You’re not alone when you’re building and running your business, and you can always call on experienced people when you hit a rough spot or want to share new ideas for growing the business.
5. Marketing Assistance. Supreme International does the marketing assistance to provide you with proven tools and strategies for attracting and retaining customers. Usually, the staff helps you develop the actual marketing plans and budgets for your grand opening as well as your ongoing efforts to market your business effectively.
6. Real Estate Assistance. Supreme International has manuals and other documentation, as well as staff, to help you find the right site and negotiate the best possible deal on your site. This is a very important advantage that can hold costs down and provide the best possible chance of success in any site-driven business.
7. Business Set-Up Assistance. Supreme International also provides a wonderful benefit in helping you design the layout of the business and select the right candidates to do your build-out, as well as making sure you get the exact process and equipment you need to maximize the efficiency of your initial investment.
8. Purchasing Power. A good franchise can take advantage of the buying power of the entire system to negotiate prices for everything you need at significantly lower levels than you could achieve as an independent operator. This applies not only to initial equipment purchases but also to the staff, supplies, inventory, material, and everything else you’ll need on an ongoing basis
9. & 10 Risk Avoidance. This one is so important that we’ll call it both 9 and 10! The biggest reason to buy a franchise is that, if you’re smart, it will help you avoid much of the risk of starting a new business. Make no mistake–you have to do your due diligence, but if you do, you can determine with a fair amount of certainty what happens if you become a new franchisee.
