Key drivers for the beauty and wellness Franchise Business

One of the main reasons of the popularity of these sectors is the rising disposal income and changing lifestyles of the Indians. In an age where looking and feeling beautiful is given prime importance, these sectors have ushered to meet this rising trend. The beauty services industry, largely unorganised is steadily taking the organised route through franchising.



Also, for age group beyond 40, health related issues have become a major cause of concern. Chronic ailments like asthama, diabetics and hypertension are emerging as key-drivers for greater acceptability of regular preventive health check-ups. Another factor is the emergence of health insurance. More and more people are covering their health risks under the various schemes. The tier-II and tier-III cities have emerged as expansion grounds of the franchised outlets. It is expected that healthcare is soon to become one of India’s largest sectors, in terms of revenue and employment, and the sector is expanding rapidly. The Indian healthcare industry is estimated to be about Rs 200,000 crore and is projected to reach Rs 300,000 crore by 2012.

Re: Info for would be franchisers... Re: Info for would be franchisers... - [quote="Sebastien":1d29sdv1]Like Franchise Times, Franchise Update is a very practical magazine. There is no blah blah, just straight facts that anyone in the franchise community can relate to. I just want to mention that all these magazines are NOT franchisee oriented. I mean these magazines are for franchise professionals. If you're looking to buy a franchise, you won't find much information in there. To answer your question, getting published in Franchise Times was fairly easy. I don't want to brag too much but I think I am known in the franchise industry. I was the marketing guy at Franchise.com for a few years before joining my new company, the World Franchising Network. So people know me and I have a very good relationship with Nancy Weingartner, the Managing Editor at Franchise Times. I was talking with her at the last Franchise Expo South in Miami and she mentioned she'd like me to be profiled. I was like "ok, sure!". I like this franchise executive profile thing in Franchise Times as it is rarely BS. People are usually really natural in there.[/quote:1d29sdv1] Thanks for the follow up Sebastien! And I can't say that I'm surprised that networking with the right people and managing your relationships with them properly are the keys to being published. I guess the old adage holds true of "it's not who you know, but who knows you" that's important.
how much for a franchise fee? how much for a franchise fee? - Dear Colleague There is no easy answer to this question. Things to consider: [list=] The sizeof the Franchise Clent base Expected Turnover Intellectual Property costs (recoup) Number of Franchises Number of employees Original Set up costs Franchise admin costs An example: A franchise that I was involved in setting was to a simple "lawn mowing/home repair" franchise. The Franchise included national/local advertising - preparation of client lists - general admin - central accounting etc The Franchise involved 300-500 clients - and an annual turnover of about $300,000 . The annual franchise fee was $30,000. Hope that this gives you some idea Take care Ian[/list]
Fed rate cuts . . . Fed rate cuts . . . - So just what do the newest Fed rate cuts mean to Franchise and Business Opportunity investing? Is it immediately felt? What timeframe do you think, or rather, where are we in terms of new vs. existing business investment? A similar question can be composed for the economic stimulus checks - will they a have any effect if consumers spend a little $$
