Are you tired of running your own business? You may have enjoyed your cafe the past several years but finally want to enjoy the fruits of your labor. There are things you can do to keep that shop you built with your blood, sweat and tears yet get that much coveted free time to enjoy life. You can sell your business or you can also opt for coffee shop franchising. You can actually make more money this way while sitting back and letting the others do the hard work. Before you can get to this stage though, you have to present your coffee place as a well-established and profitable business. If you have accomplished this already and want to take that trip around the world, coffee shop franchising would be a very profitable next step.

There are certain factors that will make an attractive franchise opportunity. Branding your cafe and turning your place into a household name is a good place to start. Then you have to create a working system and a standard model that you will apply to all your branches. You have to have a financial agreement between yourself and the person who wants to buy a franchise from you. Of course you will need to set the franchise fees and expected revenues fairly. You want your buyer to make money too. Most branches get support in terms of supplies, training and even marketing. Then, there are associations that you should join. They can also help you recruit franchisees and boost your visibility as a good investment.
