4 Misconceptions about Franchises

Looking for a side hustle? America’s Color Consultants might be right for you.

America’s Color Consultants (ACC) franchisees work from home offices.

#1  Franchises discourage creativity/freedom While franchises create the basic framework for a business, that doesn’t mean they would micromanage all decisions that a franchisee makes.  In fact, most of the day to day dealings are up to the franchise owner. The guidelines put in place by the franchisor aren’t there just to tell people what to do – they’re tried and proven methods for success. Many of the guidelines are there to maintain the franchise brand and reputation. America’s Color Consultants (ACC)  encourages creativity and allows their franchisees the freedom to work full or part-time.

#2 Franchises are too expensive While the startup costs for certain franchises can be expensive, that doesn’t mean all of them are: the price is much less if you’re operating a home-or service-based franchise rather than a chain restaurant or storefront business. The largest fee in franchising is a one-time franchise fee which is used to set-up and train the new franchisee. In addition, a monthly/quarterly royalty to the company is also required. These pay for being able to use the franchise’s established brand recognition and reputation, and other business resources.   America’s Color Consultants are home-based businesses that require very little in terms of required physical materials – a phone, car, and computer. There are no storefront requirements and the materials needed to begin color consulting are provided as part of the franchise fee. Extensive training is provided and the support for success is ongoing. ACC is considered a “boutique” or “niche”  franchise and has a franchise fee under $15,000. It is the perfect “side hustle” business for those who want/need flexibility in their work schedule and/or for those who want additional family income in all stages of their life.

ACC franchisees live in the communities they serve… and love it.

#3 Franchises are not small businesses Franchises like McDonalds and Taco Bell number in the hundreds, even thousands. But did you know the majority of franchise companies have an average of 5 locations?  And while there are numerous fast food franchises, there are also doggie daycare centers, real estate offices, pest control services, and tutoring franchises. Many franchisees are owned and operated by people who live in the communities they serve. America’s Color Consultants is such a franchise:  our talented franchisees love helping their neighbors choose the perfect paint color for their spaces.

#4  Having a franchise will instantly make you rich If only THAT were true!  In many ways, being a part of a franchise is like taking a shortcut in building your business: the trickier parts are already set up for you, and there is built-in support and experience to make it work. But it takes dedication and determination to make a business successful, even if you have a franchise system backing you up. And It certainly helps if you are passionate about your work.  If you have an eye for color, love meeting and helping people, exercising your creative muscles and utilizing your life/work experience, you may be a fit for America’s Color Consultants!  Ready to find out more?
