Carlson Travel Franchise
Group has developed an expertise in travel franchising. This expertise,
coupled with years of franchise experience, makes our business model highly
successful.
Buying a franchise is not like starting an independent business by yourself.
With a franchise, you are buying a support system and the "licensed"
rights to use proven systems to operate a business. These systems have
been developed by individuals who have tackled and solved the problems
typically encountered by people in the industry you are thinking of entering.
Through the purchase of a franchise, you are buying the security of a
track record, a strong brand awareness, and operating, reporting and management
systems while gaining a head start in the industry and a foothold from
which to begin your climb.
Franchising is growing at nearly 6% per year. Currently, there are over
1.5 million franchised outlets, accounting for approximately one-third
of all US retail sales.1 Statistics show that 80% of franchise owners
succeed in their businesses. So even though it doesn’t guarantee
success, statistics reveal that fewer than 20% of new franchise businesses
fail. Compare that to the 60%-80% failure rate of new businesses overall
each year in the U.S. and franchising is the obvious choice.
In addition, data from the U.S. Department of Commerce illustrate the
business success rates over a ten-year period of Individual New Start-up
Enterprises versus Franchise Businesses. |
