Crescent Franchise Solutions: Preparing Your Franchise for a Secure Future – Franchises play an essential role in the U.S. economy. However, Crescent Franchise Solutions recognizes the sobering fact from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: 20% of small businesses fail in the first year, and 50% by their fifth year. We are committed to helping franchisees beat these odds and plan for a smooth succession or future sale.
Preparing Your Franchise for a Secure Future
A major component of our strategy revolves around addressing four fundamental risks: market risk, credit risk, operational risk, and reputational risk.
- For managing market risk, we help franchise owners understand their customer base and competitors. We assist in asking crucial questions, ensuring there is a thorough understanding of the demand for their product or service, the competitive landscape, and their unique offerings.
- Credit risk often contributes to the failure of small businesses. We help franchisees manage this risk, reminding them that cash flow is not only about start-up capital but also accounts receivable. Understanding the payment capacities of clients is critical to avoiding financial pitfalls.
- Operational risk varies by industry, and franchises with less human interaction tend to have lower operational risks. We work with franchise owners to identify potential issues in procedures, systems, or personnel, ensuring smooth and effective operations.
- Reputational risk can deeply affect a franchise, especially when preparing for a sale or succession. Issues can emerge from within or via third-party relationships. We help navigate these complexities, maintaining a strong, positive public perception that can enhance business value.
Franchise Sale or Succession
The cornerstone of our strategy is helping franchises create a solid risk management plan, a key factor when considering a future sale or handover. Our approach includes risk identification, assessment, management strategies, and regular reviews. Effective risk management significantly improves the attractiveness of a business for potential buyers or successors.
