Evalutation Criteria: Best Assisted Living Franchises
Growth Prospect
During our analysis of assisted living franchises we spend time observing a franchise’s historical growth and expansion over time from a number of different perspectives including the physical expansion of each location to number of franchised businesses in operation. We recommend franchises which showcase their ability to grow and expand over time with new franchise owners and existing businesses expanding.
Marketing Support
Many entrepreneurs have a set expectation for the amount of marketing assistance an assisted living franchisor will provide them at both the start of a new business and over the course of running the business. It is important for a franchisor to understand the challenges which assisted living franchises face when trying to inform their target audience about what their facility has to offer and how they can help.
Training
An important obstacle many assisted living operators face when looking to start a new franchised business is in the amount of training and certifications which are required for the business to be able to operate. It is important for the franchisor to assist their franchises in finding experienced individuals which have the proper training and certification and to be able to produce the materials required for proper training.
Ongoing Support
There is a lot to be said about the franchisors which continue to support their franchises after they have established themselves. During our analysis of assisted living franchises we look to the franchisors which continue to support and communicate with their franchises in order to ensure the set standards for service and internal processes are being followed and to further assist them in growing and improving their business.
Value
The concept of value is one that is often debated in importance of financial growth over time, the relative financial value of the business, and the overall value of the franchise’s brand itself. During our analysis, we ensure that all of these aspects are taken into careful consideration in order to properly determine the overall effect the value of a brand and franchisor has on the success of the franchised assisted living facilities.
