Franchise for Sale: BrightStar Healthcare

Many business opportunities still lie out there for the fully devoted individuals who are not downtrodden by a sticky economy. There are many lenders out there who are interested in financing businesses with proven business models to help stimulate our economy. The best place to start looking for an opportunity like this is franchising.

Franchises are a great start-up business idea for entrepreneurs because they offer a lot of assistance. You are not going through the process alone. They have proven business models that will lend you credibility and affordability. From locating prime real estate, to training, to marketing, to hiring, franchisers are there to assist franchisees along the way. One of the most up-and-coming franchise industries is healthcare. As the country becomes more aware of the escalating obesity epidemic and other illnesses, they are turning toward healthcare professionals to aid them in getting well.

Healthcare franchises range from alcohol and drug testing to senior care. And it’s a perfect time to get into senior care as the Baby Boomers are beginning to retire. BrightStar is an example of a great healthcare franchise that focuses on caring for the elderly. BrightStar professionals aid seniors in everything from hygiene to running errands. They allow seniors to stay in their homes, as opposed to going to retirement facilities, and are also available in hospitals and doctors’ offices.

Owners of BrightStar do not need to have a background in healthcare, which is a great bonus. BrightStar focuses on finding franchisees that have strong managerial skills and proven leadership. For more information, including start-up costs and training for healthcare franchises, you can check out FranchiseClique.com. They have the most comprehensive list on the web of franchise opportunities and you can search by cost, region and industry. Once you have found the franchises that you are interested in, Franchise Clique can put you in contact with franchisers and give you valuable advice about how to succeed in your new business.

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? - 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]
Re: Franchise Surveys - Another good tool to researching a franchise is to speak with their existing franchisees. This contact information is included in most Franchise Disclosure Documents. In order to get a Franchise Disclosure Document or FDD as it is often referred to, you will have to complete a basic franchise application. The franchisor will then usually provide you with the FDD at that time. Included in that book of information is a list of the existing franchisees, the contract, the investment information etc... This information is required by Federal Law to be disclosed to your prior to making a purchase. So be sure to do your research and start with the Franchise Documents to get the initial information.
Re: What's in a Name? - Sale or promotion relies a lot in name chosen for product/business.
