Whether you already own a successful franchise business and are considering the next stage in your journey, or you’re researching franchise ownership and want to get maximum return on your investment, multi-unit franchise ownership might be for you.

Multi-unit franchising most commonly refers to the practice of owning multiple stores or locations of a franchise brand, usually within a defined regional market. Some multi-unit franchisees start with a single location and gradually expand to two or three; others enter into a multi-unit agreement with the franchisor at the beginning of their relationship and quickly open multiple stores in the area.

There are many major benefits to multi-unit franchise strategies:

• Owning multiple units reduces risk. Diversifying your investment serves as a buffer for unexpected economic disruption.
• Owning multiple franchise units triggers economies of scale that drive the potential for higher returns. Replicating the operations tools and processes you’ve mastered in one location reduces overhead and sweat equity without diminishing revenue.
• Owning multiple franchise units allows you to leverage existing relationships with vendors, distributors, and financial institutions.
• Most franchisors offer discounted franchise fees to multi-unit owners. Signing an agreement up front to open multiple locations can mean significant savings.
