			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://leathermedic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/top5reasons.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-155 alignleft" title="top5reasons" src="http://leathermedic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/top5reasons-300x171.jpg" alt="Top 5 Reasons" width="300" height="171" /></a></p>
<p>Many  professionals have the strong desire to create their own home based  business for a multitude of reasons. The reasons vary from being free  from restrictive time constraints to achieving financial freedom.   However, instead of starting from scratch, here are the top 5 reasons  for buying a franchise as opposed to beginning from ground zero.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong># 5 &#8211; Established Branding:</strong></p>
<p>You find  yourself alone in the branding corner when promoting your own start-up.   With a home based business franchise, built-in branding is included.   Logos are established.  Advertising has already created an effective  branding campaign establishing the groundwork for the public to  recognize your company from the very beginning.  It’s comparable to  starting to run in the middle of the race not at the beginning.</p>
<p>And as your franchise partners within your company continue to promote and brand  their own franchise, you will simultaneously reap the benefits.</p>
<p><strong>#4 – Pre-Developed Marketing Tools:</strong></p>
<p>Franchise  companies, like Leather Medic, provide pre-established marketing tools.   We offer websites, logos, photos, and marketing materials that can be  adapted to your specific location and contact information.  Most  business franchise opportunities should offer this.<br />
You can also  take advantage of the other franchise owners who create marketing pieces  and ideas amongst each other.  It’s the collective “two heads are  better than one” ideology.</p>
<p><strong>#3 – Greater Chances for Business Success:</strong></p>
<p>With any  business start-up and not just a commercial franchise, you run a risk.   Any business requires a great deal of planning and hard work to be  successful.  You need to pay close attention to the strong foundation  when purchasing a franchise.  Ask yourself if you feel you will get the  best franchise training and support you will need to increase your  chances of success.</p>
<p><strong>#2 – Business Support</strong></p>
<p>How do you get  started?  How do you find out your product or service information?  How  should you market?  How should you get customers?  What if something  goes wrong?</p>
<p>And the most  important question, do you have someone you can call for assistance?   When searching for franchise business information, looking for a  company that offers a strong support system should be at the top of your  list.</p>
<p><strong># 1 – Financially Smart Decision</strong></p>
<p>The top reason  for buying a franchise is all about the money.  Most business start-ups  grossly underestimate the costs involved with getting their business up  and running.  An affordable franchise allows you to see your costs up  front and avoid financial surprises along the way.</p>
<p><strong><em>Of course, we  at Leather Medic believe we offer one through five better than any other  small business franchise. We invite you to subscribe to our blog and  visit often for the best in franchise ideas and information</em>.</strong></p>

<p>Strong leadership, combined with comprehensive product knowledge, helps to establish your own successful small business franchise.</p>
<p>The founder of Leather Medic is Chade Life.  We always say he is part surgeon, part artist and part magician.  We think he would be reluctant to say it himself, but when it comes to leather and vinyl  repair he is one of the most skilled practitioners in the country.</p>
<p>He’s spent over two decades refining the craft of leather restoration.  Early on, he recognized the significant and ongoing demand for expert craftsmen who could master the art of leather and vinyl repair.   When he began, he was surprised to learn that there were only three individuals (now retired) in North America with true leather restoration expertise.</p>
<p>He diligently studied with each of them to develop his craft. He has developed proprietary processes and materials that have raised the craft of leather repair to new heights.</p>
<p>The result was “Leather Medic”®, a highly successful business with a great national reputation.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s frustrating to watch people pour their hard earned money into a new home based business franchise that offers very little training.  A lot of other companies take advantage of people wanting to start their own business. They take their money and throw them to the wolves.</p>
<p><em><strong>That doesn’t happen with us.</strong></em></p>
<p>If someone is purchasing a franchise with Leather Medic, we want them to succeed.</p>
<p>The best way we can do that is making certain our franchisees offer a great product.  Our people are a part of our product.</p>
<p>Leather Medic extensively trains our technicians in every detailed aspect of leather and vinyl repair.  They quite literally become experts in their field.</p>
<p>Great technicians lead to great service which leads to happy clients, and a successful leather restoration franchise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://leathermedic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/question_man.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-106" title="question_man" src="http://leathermedic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/question_man.jpg" alt="Question Man" width="168" height="168" /></a>There is ample debate over the actual failure rate of a small business franchise within their first year.  Urban legend and what you will find consistently quoted over the internet is a 90% failure rate, which is completely untrue.  According to The SBA, Small Business Administration, the actual number is around 30%.</p>
<p>If you begin researching why these small business franchises go out of business so quickly, you will find a very consistent answer.  Purchasing a franchise or starting a small home based business without first seeing if there is a market for the industry of choice leads to a failed business.</p>
<p><strong>You need sound market opportunities.</strong></p>
<p>For example, with a Leather Medic franchise opportunity, you have a wide market base and very frequently, little competition.  Leather Medic markets to a wide variety of clientele.  As with any business, the more fish in the sea, the better chance you have of catching them.</p>
<p>You need to choose a business that has plenty of prospects and includes a product or service that has a high market demand.  Leather Medic has a basic market of residential clients that need leather furniture repair.  And of course, our market has a sound base in the automotive industry.</p>
<p>But we also take care of leather and vinyl repair on boats and recreational vehicles.</p>
<p>We market to and get business from, furniture stores, restaurants, hotels and motels, churches, schools, insurance companies and damage restoration companies.</p>
<p>For those who have already taken advantage of our business franchise opportunity, they understand they have numerous prospects and a market demand.</p>
<p>Make certain you have those basics soundly in place when you open any type of small business, whether it is a home based business or if you decide to purchase a franchise.  You will ensure you are a small business franchise that is in the 70% who survive.</p>

<p><a href="http://leathermedic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/auto.png"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-101" title="auto" src="http://leathermedic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/auto.png" alt="Car Seat" width="180" height="160" /></a>Recently the franchisees of Leather Medic met up in sunny Florida for their annual meeting.  We asked each of the home based business owners why it was that they chose to have a commercial franchise with Leather Medic.</p>
<p>Now, if you haven’t read our blog, The Top 5 Reasons for Purchasing a Franchise, you can visit that blog for all the technical reasons.  But what surprised us, were the answers our partners in this company provided.  It may surprise you as well.  And if you are considering buying a franchise, you may want to take these reasons to heart.</p>
<p>The top answer to the question of “Why did you choose Leather Medic?” was&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>“They were like a family.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Now in the world of business and leather repair, that may not sound like an important reason until you realize why the franchisees provided this as their top reason.</p>
<p>First of all, they felt comfortable working with us.  You feel comfortable around family.  When each of them began looking for business franchise opportunities, they wanted someone they felt like they could work with.</p>
<p>One of our franchisees, Anthony Pisano, said that he had called several different companies, but Leather Medic always made certain to return his calls and he was always told if he needed anything to feel free to ask.  And we meant it.</p>
<p>We’re proud of that fact.  We treat the people who chose to create a commercial franchise with us like they are signing up for support of a family that is always reachable.</p>
<p>Another reason provided was that by choosing a small business franchise, they have the choice to keep it a small home based business, with a mobile unit, or open a storefront and grow their leather restoration business as big as they want it to be.</p>
<p>Some choose to be a one man show while others employ a dozen leather restoration professionals.  We like they have the choice to make their business exactly what they need.</p>
<p>An additional very important reason that many of the franchisees shared with us was, they liked the idea of protected territories.  This is an extremely valid reason for any home based business.  If you open a business, you don’t want your next door neighbor opening the same business and becoming your competitor.  Leather Medic protects our franchisees this way.</p>
<p>And the last reason and by far the most mentioned is the fact that every single franchisee recognized a strong market for a leather and vinyl repair business.  They recognized the solid bottom line potential.  And we can proudly say none have been disappointed.  Across the country each of their markets were lacking in leather restoration and leather cleaning services.  There is a demand and need for Leather Medic.</p>
<p>If you are considering buying a franchise, I invite you to give us a call.  We’d love to speak with you.  After all, we always have time for family.</p>
