Things that Annoy Potential Franchise Buyers

Do you remember the last major purchase you made?

If so, would you describe it as being a smooth, easy process and transaction, or difficult and

frustrating, infuriating you to no end?

If it was a smooth transaction, congratulations!

But if it wasn’t, and you happen to be thinking about buying a franchise, a major purchase, the

following is worth considering.

A recent article reported that, among the things that frustrate franchise buyers is dealing with

salespeople. As most people don’t know how to buy a franchise, they are reliant upon the

salesperson providing the information they need to make a buying decision.

Another frustration is all the legal “mumbo jumbo” involved. For example, the FDD, (Franchise

Disclosure Document) is a couple hundred pages of legal terms, financial information, etc., etc. It’s

not the most exciting thing you’ll ever read, but it’s a must-read when buying a franchise.

All the paperwork, reading, research, disclosures, documentation, and obligations are legal

requirements and necessary details when considering a franchise agreement.

 

In the meantime you just want to find out whether the franchise is suitable for you.

We want to make your experience with us as smooth as possible.

If you’d like to save time, and lower your frustration level, we believe we have the answers.

We have been franchising for over 30 years and we have learned many things along the way.

Why not try before you buy? You’ll soon know if Jim’s Mowing has the right “feel” for you.

The vast majority of our successful franchisees have all agreed that it was what we call the franchise

ride-along program (or trial day program) that convinced them to join Jim’s Mowing.  A prospective

franchisee is strongly encouraged to spend a day with a current franchisee as a ride-along or to

participate in a “hands-on” trial day.

 

Spending a day in the field with a current franchisee is an opportunity to experience first-hand what

it’s like to run a Jim’s Mowing franchise. Working alongside the franchisee you’ll see how our system

works and have access to the inner workings of the business.

In just about all cases, experiencing “a day-in- the-life” delivers what you need to know and allows

you to move forward with confidence. Can you imagine buying a house without attending an open

house? Would you buy an expensive car without a test drive?

 

So, before you are inundated with all the mandatory paperwork, we invite you to:

 

1. Call our local franchisor Chris Hansen on 0402 466 341 for an informal chat

 

2. Arrange a ride-along trial day by calling our offices on 02 9899 8299

 

Should you decide to go ahead we do recommend that you then meet with a solicitor to review all

those mandatory documentation details.
