• What are your ambitions as a business owner?
• What do you want your business to look like in 5 years?
• How will you structure your business for growth?
• What financial investment is required?
• Which sectors in the community will you offer your service to?

Performance Capability – your franchise set-up

Each franchisee has a preference on how they will run their area. Clearly, this in turn influences the performance capability of your franchise. For example, preferences may include;

• Building a fleet of cars and drivers to serve whole towns and communities
• Running multiple franchises across a region
• Starting with one car and building the fleet as demand grows
• Starting with 2 or more cars for quicker traction in the market
• Being an owner-driver and delivering the service yourself
• Having an owner-managed business, concentrating on building business. For example, this could include using a Franchise Manager to run operations and help grow it, too.
