What You Should Know Before Buying Any Franchise
As an emerging franchise, Click IT is very conscientious that the success of our franchise owners will determine our own success. Therefore, we are very focused on the success of our franchisees, and every waking hour we are working to assure this, as no other franchise can.
Comparison Summary
Below is a comparison summary of what experts say to what Click IT has to offer.
Be Prepared - Figure Out Your Available Capital First: It may be the amount of available capital (or obtainable capital through getting an SBA loan, for instance), that may determine what you can afford to do, and what you should not be looking at. You want to know this upfront and what all the costs are so you don't spend time on researching a franchise you can't afford.
A Click IT franchise requires less liquid capital than most franchises, which typically are more expensive, demand more capital, and net worth.
A franchise you're considering will share with you their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). To learn what's in an FDD, and what you should watch for when considering purchasing any franchise, see https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/286679.
This may be the only cash you'll need, depending on your credit score and ability to get a loan. At Click IT, we are prepared to assist you in finding financing with our in-house counsel.
We have a partnership with a funding source: Click here for more information and to see the funding programs offered.
When you sign our franchise agreement, you have 180 days to open your Click IT Store. This gives you plenty of time to find a location, sign the lease, build out the fixtures, prepare your marketing and open for business. We help you along the entire way, including providing up-to-date build-out items which can be found at our company shop. (See https://shop.clickitgroup.com.)
As a Click IT Franchise Owner, you'll learn how to sell and service every aspect of an I.T. Department's responsibilities, such as Website Design & Hosting, Network Security, E-Marketing, EMail, Computer Sales & Service, IP Phones, Energy (yes this is a technology-play), Computer and Tablet Repairs and Maintenance and more. No other franchise in our category can give you this amount of capabilities and opportunities.
Do a Thorough Investigation of The Franchise You're Interested in: When shopping for a franchise, find out how long the company has been in existence, what level of experience they have, and talk to people affiliated with the company, including their customers. Get to know the people involved. Understand the opportunity. Read any reviews you can find and study the reputation of the company. Ask any questions you have and be sure your answers are satisfactory.
Feel comfortable with the people running the franchise. Are they the people you want to partner with and can trust? Are they focused on your success? Be clear about finding exactly the level of support you'll get and make sure you're comfortable with it.
Click IT was begun in July 2012 and has a stellar reputation throughout the community. Our BBB rating is A+, the highest obtainable. We have thousands of satisfied customers. (See Our Testimonials, which contains independent reviews.) Right upfront, we provide 40 hours of training, both in the classroom, in a training facility, and at our company store. You will have hands-on experience long before you open your store.
Don't Worry So Much About How Many Franchise Units the Franchise Has: The experts advise to focus on what the franchise growth plan is, what their management team is like, what their infrastructure is, and most importantly, what their system is. Do they have a 'system'? (A 'system' is a methodology of how to operate their business.) When you buy a franchise, you're buying a system.
"Technology is Never Going Away & There Will Always Be a Need for a Local, Trustworthy Click IT Store."
During the recent pandemic, Click IT never shut down. Click IT is considered by the government to be an "essential business". With its complete and proven system developed at our company store since 2012, Click IT trains franchise owners with confidence, teach them how to duplicate the company store's success. "The system runs the business and you run the system when you buy a franchise."
Also, don't buy a franchise that does just one thing. A Click IT Franchise will provide the know-how and tools necessary to complete every task as the I.T. department for the territory's areas, fulfilling the needs by having the skillset and tools. And, if you have a preference for one type of service over another, with Click IT a franchise owner can pick and choose what the areas they want their main focus to be. No other franchise in the IT Services category enables a franchise owner to do this.
Our royalty is just 6% (which is at the low end of the spectrum), there are no additional fees that can bring this amount much higher, and you as the franchise owner get a lot of value for this.
