When buying a franchise, the goal is to maximize your profit. There are many ways to do this and the methods that you use will depend on the type of franchise you buy and in which sector it operates. And of course, there are other factors to consider beyond just how much profit you can generate. What kind of franchise can you afford to buy? How much time do you have to invest? What kind of space is available to you? And more questions. But ultimately, for many franchisees, a reliable way to maximize their profit is with a multi-unit franchise.

Multi-Unit Franchises

Multi-unit franchises provide an excellent opportunity for business professionals who want to invest in any given business venture or in a specific industry to maximize the profits that they can extract from that industry. A key factor about franchising is that it gets easier to grow your business once you have established your first location. Once you have your first franchise operating smoothly and successfully, operations and management typically become easier. When you already know what to expect and how to successfully run a franchise, you can efficiently transfer the skills and methods you use for your first franchise location to the second.

When you own multiple franchise units you can run production on a larger scale. You can have your franchise units work together instead of in direct competition with one another. This can have obvious benefits, namely, increased revenues. Multi-unit franchises might seem like an imposing challenge at first, but with a little hard work and careful planning, it’s not a great deal more work than owning a single unit franchise. The truth is that after you start your first franchise unit, the other units work together and can make the business overall run a whole lot easier.

Multi-Unit Franchise Opportunities

If you’ve read the above and think that multi-unit franchise opportunities might be for you, then you’re probably now wondering what types of franchise opportunities are available in the multi-unit form. Well, if you’re interested in home care businesses, then there are HVAC businesses that have multi-unit opportunities available. Are you interested in the latest gadgets? You can operate a multi-unit computer and electronics franchise. Interested in design? There are sign design and manufacturing studios that offer multi-unit opportunities. Do you have a way with numbers? Then maybe consider a multi-unit tax service franchise opportunity.

And then, there is food. What would franchising be without the food service industry? There are countless franchise opportunities out there, both multi-unit and otherwise, in a wide variety of industries. But perhaps no type of franchise is more classic or more readily understood than the restaurant franchise. Whether you want to operate a sit-down restaurant or a fast food/quick service restaurant franchise, there are multi-unit opportunities available. Some types of cuisine that can be served via multi-unit franchises include:

  • Burgers – an American classic
  • Barbecue - you can really sink your teeth into a BBQ franchise
  • Japanese – sushi rolls and Japanese curries
  • Chicken - rotisserie, fried, and all other forms
  • Smoothies - the surge in smoothie popularity shows no sign in slowing down
  • Chocolates - who doesn’t love chocolate?
