Replication

You think you have a beautiful business that you feel is replicate-able across the state you live in, across the country, or across the world. Is the way you created your business model really scale-able? Can you 'replicate yourself' and create a franchise that is teach-able and that offers a clear picture of your concept to the market? Entrepreneurs across the world create amazing new models and platforms every day, but not all of them are scale able as a franchise model. Franchising is one of the fastest and most-viable distribution platforms in the world, and an incredible experience for new franchisors who are able to give of themselves to package, train, and provide ongoing coaching and support for their creation, allowing amazing 'operators' in the form of franchisees to benefit from their franchise offering.
