Tom is a trusted legal advisor to a diverse range of clients in the franchise community, including franchisors, franchisees and those who are considering a franchise and would like to understand the Franchise Disclosure Document and receive legal counsel before signing a franchise agreement.

Interview Topics:

*Overview of Franchise Regulation in the US?

*Trends in businesses being franchised

*Challenges for franchisors and franchisees.

The value of working with a Franchise Attorney?

A Franchise Agreement is a legal contract that you are entering into and franchise law is specialized. I had one franchisor share with me that an attorney claimed they understood franchise law and then tried to rewrite the state requirements for that industry (Senior Care), which cost the prospective franchisee an arm and a leg.

Be wise, get an experienced franchise attorney, such as Tom Branch to review and explain the documents and the obligations as a franchisee and to let you know if there are any concerns or clauses that need to be balanced.

Scott Greenberg helps franchisees improve their leadership skills and grow their business. He’s the author of the book The Wealthy Franchisee: Game-Changing Steps to Becoming a Thriving Franchise Superstar. Below are some interview excerpts.

Currie:  What are the myths about why some franchisees succeed?

Greenberg:  It’s such an important thing to talk about because everyone is looking at the top franchisees to replicate. The problem is we make a lot of assumptions about them. Honestly, a lot of wealthy franchisees don’t know why they’re successful. I was hosting an awards banquet for a franchise system, and their best franchisees were on stage. I asked each one: “What did you do last year that made you succeed?” They said, we do a lot of marketing, we treat our employees well, we go out in the community. I mean, who isn’t doing those things, that’s not the secret to success. That’s the prerequisite…

Every franchise brand has stories of people who took over struggling locations and turned them around. So wealthy franchisees buy very mediocre locations, but they make them great. So, if you have a great location, it certainly can help. You want to fish where the fish are, right? You want to be close to the right demographic, but sometimes those locations aren’t available. So a good enough location is good enough, and wealthy franchisees prove this every day. That’s the first myth.

The second myth is that they’re slaves to their business. These great franchisees I interviewed take vacations and go to their daughter’s volleyball games, and they’re home for dinner. They don’t work hard as much as they work smart. So that is a myth that they have to be slaves to their business.

The final myth is that you have to have a passion for the business. I ran edible arrangements franchises. We did very well, but I have to confess; I’m not especially excited by fruit. What I did like is the celebration aspect, helping people celebrate important occasions. I think you have to appreciate and love something about the business, but it doesn’t mean you have to be passionate about frozen yogurt or pest control to be successful. There’s a lot of myths that are out there, and if we can replicate the right things – we can get results!

Currie:  Tune in to hear about the main things wealthy franchisees do that enable them to succeed!

Financial Jargon and Tax Benefits on Franchise Business RadioInterested in Franchise Ownership?Contact Pamela Currie to receive a COMPLIMENTARY Consultation on Selecting a Franchise.Pamela Currie, Host of the Franchise Business Radio show and Founder of Franchise Intellect, Inc. www.FranchiseIntellect.comMobile: 847-970-8765Email: Pam@FranchiseIntellect.comTo learn more about guest topics, contacting a guest or becoming a guest on the Franchise Business Radio show simply email Pam@FranchiseIntellect.comJohn Quattrocchi, owns a CPA practice. and offers end to end accounting and tax services to franchisors and franchisees. Quattrocchi was interviewed by Franchise Business Radio Host and Certified Franchise Consultant, Pamela Currie, and explains financial terms and tax advantages for business owners.Here are some interview excerpts.Currie: Explain what is meant by gross revenue versus net?Quattrocchi: Gross revenue is total sales. The total amount of money you bring in the house. Net profit is how much is left after paying all your bills and your expenses. Let me say this about total sales and net profit; it is important to understand that franchisors usually set their royalties based on the franchisee’s total sales. So, the franchisor gets paid off of the top line and then the business owner (franchisee) gets to keep and profit off of the bottom line number, which is the net or the cashflow number.Currie: How does a franchise business owner receive benefits and tax advantages?Quattrocchi: When an individual becomes a business owner, he instantly morphs into two people. He is the owner that has to be compensated and he’s actually the employee in the  business that has to be compensated. So, he might have an officer's  salary where he takes out a salary and compensation there. And then he gets paid on the bottom line profit. But in reality, there are other certain advantages that we may take on the tax side. I like to divide tax expenses into three basic categories. There’s the “Ordinary and Necessary Category”, such as rent, utilities, repairs, salaries, and wages. Then we have what I call the “Hybrid Expenses”, that we all have as individuals, but because you are self-employed, you might be able to deduct some or most of those expenses. That would be things like your car expenses, cell phone, maybe your computers, your internet at home and things of that nature that you use partially or mostly using in your business. Then we have other tax advantage situations that I put in a third category simply because they are tax deductible. The most basic would be putting in a retirement plan. Retirement plan for a self-employed guy is basically where you take money out of one pocket and you put it in another, and you get a tax break for it. Obviously, you can’t use that money until you retire. It’s a tremendous tax saving.The Franchise Business Radio show is a platform to bring together franchise professionals to connect, educate and collaborate to serve the franchise community and those considering franchise ownership.Spotlighting Leaders in the Franchise Industry, experts in funding, legal, marketing and consulting.Franchise Business Radio hosted by:Pam Currie, FounderFranchise Intellect, IncMade possible in part by:Host Pamela Currie, Franchise Intellect, visit: http://www.FranchiseIntellect.comAlso made possible in part by:Franchise City, visit http://www.Franchise.cityFranServe, visit https://franserve.com/To nominate or submit a guest request visit: http://www.OnAirGuest.comTo view guest photos from this show, visit: http://www.ProBusinessPictures.com
