Add To Your Franchise Portfolio
We all know the saying, “don’t put your eggs in one basket,” which is a warning that if you put all your effort and resources into one thing, if it fails, you’re left with no alternatives. Yet the saying takes on an even more important significance when it comes to franchising. Indeed, it’s more crucial than ever to diversify your franchise portfolio, so you’re not reliant on one revenue stream or industry. On the flip side, when done right, diversifying your franchise portfolio opens you up to multiple markets and industries, giving you financial security should one of your investments run into challenging economic times.
“Diversification is key to a successful business portfolio,” according to a report in Global Franchise Magazine. “Similar to you keeping a portfolio of different stocks to diversify your investments, as a franchisee, you would profit from owning several franchises. By spreading your investments across a range of assets in several sectors, you can protect yourself from serious loss if one business faces unforeseen challenges. Adding concepts in different industries will not only add further income and stabilize your portfolio, but it will reduce volatility and risk. It will also provide you with the opportunity to apply your business acumen, market knowledge and creative energy to another brand.”
Choosing the right franchise to invest in, however, is key to getting your business to the next level. Oftentimes, finding complementary brands that accentuate – and don’t compete – with your existing investments is always a good idea. Also, to bolster redundancy, many franchisees will invest in a wide range of different industries – food, beauty, restoration, etc. – in case one of their investments undergoes a downturn or financial challenge.

“Sport Clips is stronger than ever before,” says Edward Logan, CEO of Sport Clips. “We’ve proven that we’re not only recession-resistant, but we’re also pandemic-resistant. This is a very stable business with steady cash flow and straightforward business model. Now is a great time to invest in Sport Clips, because as we head into 2022, we’re excited about the great real estate opportunities that exist right now, as well as the disruption of client behavior.

Our business model is very simple: we cut hair. We built our business model for growth, and we have all the resources to grow quickly and effectively. We know when you should add resources and when to build additional infrastructure. Whether you want to open up to three stores, five stores, 10 stores, or beyond, we have a plan that can help you get there.”
