Meet the franchisees :
an essential step
before launching a franchise

As a future franchisee, it’s vital not to be satisfied with just talking to the heads of the franchise network. It’s essential to talk to the people who live and breathe your future profession, to get a real idea of what life as a franchisee will be like. Ask the brands present at Welcome Franchise to put you in touch with entrepreneurs who have already buy the franchise you choose !

The importance of exchange
between franchisees

Who better to enlighten you about your project than those who have already gone through the same stages as you? Benefiting from the experience of entrepreneurs who have become franchisees is essential to validate the coherence of your project and, above all, to give you a foretaste of the day-to-day life you’re about to experience.

Franchisees will be able to discuss their doubts, difficulties and successes with you, and, above all, how the franchisor was able to support them during the various stages of opening the franchise.

The best way to talk directly to franchisees is to visit them in person. So, as soon as the franchisor hands over the DIP (pre-contractual information document), don’t hesitate to ask for a list of all the franchisees in your area. However, don’t confine yourself to the franchisor’s selection: select a few more outlets to visit yourself.

Evaluate franchisor and other franchisees

In addition to getting feedback from franchisees, talking directly on site allows you to quickly see how the network operates in general. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

  • The franchisee’s welcome: is he or she willing to give you feedback, advice or talk about the network? Or is he more reluctant to talk?
  • Group events: are they numerous? Do franchisees attend them regularly?
  • The condition of our facilities: are they well-maintained and uniformly distributed?

By talking directly to franchisees, you can learn from their experiences and get a general overview of how the network works. Visit Welcome Franchise, the 1st virtual permanent expo, where you’ll find all the network’s franchisors, and feel free to ask them any questions you may have about opening your own franchise!
