As a franchisee, am I really a business owner? 

Franchisees are in every way owners of a business. As a franchisee, you hire and train your staff, look after bookkeeping, advertising and the hundred and one other details required for success. Like any independent business owner, the franchisee is responsible for driving revenue and profitability. The franchisors are there for guidance and advice, but ultimately the success or failure of the business rests on your shoulders.

Par-T-Perfect strongly believes in this perspective of a franchise owner and considers this when approving a new operation. As the franchisor Par-T-Perfect HQ strives to create an atmosphere where ideas are shared to help you start your business reaching and exceeding your potential quicker than doing so yourself.

Here is a taste of some of the programs developed by Par-T-Perfect over its 23 years in business:

• Extensive initial training period.
• Ongoing support program: including intranet communication, resource centre, and contacts management system.
• Communication within a solid network of fellow franchisees. Including conferences
• Lead generation program and extensive marketing programs.
• Social media platform and website development.
• Group buying discounts and insurance rates.

 Before venturing into a franchise system it is important to get an idea of what a franchise is? There are common misconceptions about what a franchise is. Many believe that becoming a franchise mean that one gives is not the actual owner of their business.
