follow your entrepreneurial dreams. It is better to take up a franchise rather
than start your own business as it decreases the risk of losses. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The demand
for educational franchises is high because it helps in shaping a better future
for children. The combination of evolving market demand for educational
franchises with verified business models of the franchise has led to its
successful outcome. You also don’t require a certificate in the educational
background to buy the franchise, you just need to have leadership and
managerial skills to succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 17.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the end,
it is very important for you to do market research before buying an education
franchise business and know which brand will benefit you in the long run.</span></p>FRANCHISEBAZARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637300143417435602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-22520543494408456012022-12-06T00:32:00.005-08:002022-12-12T21:38:26.329-08:00A unique Beverage Franchise Opportunity with Shake Shook<p><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">The food and beverage industry are undoubtedly the

distant parts of the world used to entail sailing across oceans, battling storms,

history of seizing foreigners' property and/or businesses. You should probably
avoid visiting those countries. Others have impeccable records, solid property
rights, and complete access for foreigners. Finding a jurisdiction with the

low or declining unemployment, and strong consumer spending are usually good

managerial help will increase your start-up costs. Working with a reliable

energy, and capital to analysing local spending habits, as well as how much
time, energy, and capital will be devoted to marketing your products or

caters to other foreigners. However, being able to communicate easily with the
local population will make launching your venture much easier. If you are not
fluent in the language of your target country, try to avoid paying for
translation services except for the most critical procedures (such as revising
contracts and/or the business constitution, if applicable). In most cases,
hiring a translator will significantly increase your costs. Instead, look for a
bilingual individual you can hire on a weekly or monthly basis, someone who can
help with the language when needed but will also be useful for general business
tasks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-IN"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-IN">Entrepreneurs are opting for well-known
franchising businesses because the main reason, they are already established
and have an existing business model, which makes it simpler for them rather
than starting from scratch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, just
with a few formalities in place, entrepreneurs prefer to operate and function
as franchisees of already establishes franchisors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-IN"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" lang="EN-IN">When stepping into these business
models, entrepreneurs tend to save a lot of money as the portion of sale and
promotion of products and services is not very extensive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nonetheless, franchisers give full training on
how to operate the business with a set of SOPs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not to forget, acquiring finance for a franchise is much easier because
the banks have a history of the existing business and performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

model, companies authorize entrepreneurs to sell or distribute their products
or services under mutual terms listed in the legal documents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

In lieu of encountering a similar market in the same region with alike issues, many companies are replicating best management practices adopted successfully in China in the Indian market.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">With economic and cultural similarities and purchasing decisions aligned, marketing managers across multinational companies are bringing their best marketing and distribution ideas tried and tested in China to India. Take Coca Cola for example, known for its revolutionary, fierce and strong branding, the company recently asked its independent franchisee bottlers in India to weigh a new distribution and manufacturing model it follows in China. The new model involves pooling investments and setting up common manufacturing capacities, and would mainly be for non-carbonated drinks. The Atlanta-based beverage maker’s top brass discussed benefits of shared resources and pooling investments with its franchisee bottlers last month in Shanghai, China</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span id="more-1791"></span>Under the proposal, independent bottlers would split their investments and share the returns equally among themselves.

The aggressive retail expansion drive launched by the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which owns and markets the Amul and Sagar brand of milk and milk products, has lost momentum.<br /><br />Amul could add only 700-800 retail parlours in fiscal 2009-10, which was a marked slowdown from the previous year’s addition of 2,000 outlets. As a result, the total number of operational Amul Preferred Outlets (APO) is only 5,000, which is exactly half the original target of having 10,000 retail outlets.<br /><br />The target was set by GCMMF Chairman Parthi Bhatol while addressing Amul’s 35th annual general meeting. "Taking a cue from the success of our parlours, we plan to add 6,000 more such outlets by the end of 2009-10, taking the total tally to 10,000", Bhatol had said. What Amul finally achieved in the financial year was a shade over 10 per cent of that target.<br /><br />The ambitious expansion plan was triggered by the rapid addition of 2,000 retail outlets in FY 2008-09. Amul had a total of 4,300 operational retail parlours in 2008-09.<br /><br />"The retail expansion has slowed down," says a GCMMF board member, who did not want to be quoted.<br /><br />An email sent to GCMMF seeking reasons for the slowing down of retail expansion remained unanswered, but an executive says the expansion was hampered by the general economic downturn in 2009-10.<br /><br />Though it has missed its original target by a long shot, Amul seems to be satisfied with the progress. "It is not just a number game. Setting up a network of 10,000 outlets is a mammoth task. Amul added two outlets every day across the country, while others were closing down their retail stores in 2009-10 in the wake of the recession," the official says.<br /><br />The parlours are run on franchise-based model and GCMMF says the recessionary phase in 2009-10 led to a decline in the investment appetite of its franchise partners.<br /><br />In order to rapidly increase the number of its retail outlets, Amul had identified locations such as railways, airports and posh areas in major cities. "Rolling out retail parlours at railway stations requires specific approvals and sometimes the launch gets affected due to delays in receiving approvals," Bhatol says. Amul currently has around 150 retail stalls at various railway stations across the country and had planned to add 300 more in 2009-10.<br /><br />Amul officials also maintain that setting up scooping parlours, which sell Amul ice-cream, in posh areas of Mumbai, Delhi and other metros is time-consuming as it is difficult to find suitable locations at affordable prices in these cities. GCMMF at present operates 400 such parlours across India.<br /><br />The slow pace of expansion, however, has not affected the performance of the company. Revenue from retail operations surged to Rs 300 crore in 2009-10 from Rs 200 crore and Rs 107 crore in 2008-09 and 2007-08 respectively.<br /><br />Amul, say officials, is back into the growth mode this year and would have 10,000 outlets by the end of fiscal 2010-11. "So far, we have approved 6,381 retail outlets, of which 5,000 are operational and the rest will soon start working," the official says.<br /><br />What may help is the fact that the long uncertainty following the battle for power at GCMMF has finally ended, as the move to replace Bhatol as chairman was defeated late last month. A board meeting, called to decide on a no-confidence motion against Bhatol, was cancelled after all the 13 board members except Bhatol stayed away. Ten board members had issued the motion, claiming they had lost faith in Bhatol’s leadership, but did not vote against him when the time came.<br /><br />The Rs 8,000 crore cooperative has at least three million members from 12,000 villages across the state. Bhatol became its chairman in 2006 after then board members, including him, passed a no-confidence motion against founder-chairman Verghese Kurien<br /><br />Tags:Amul Franchise, Sagar Franchise, Amul Preferred Outlets,(APO), Parthi Bhatol, GCMMF, franchise-based model, railway station franchise, Amul Ice Cream Franchise,Verghese Kurien, Dairy Franchise,<br /><br />Source: Sify Finance, Kalpesh Damor ,2010-09-06 00:50:00<br /><br /><br />This Blog/Information/News Item/Press Release has been posted by Sparkleminds, A Franchise Consulting Company Based at Bangalore,India, Offering Complete Franchise Solutions Nationally and Internationally for more than a decade now.Visit www.sparkleminds.com for more details.Amit Naharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05811280234820027399noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-42470097797900472252010-09-06T04:49:00.000-07:002010-09-09T02:42:29.182-07:00Pizza Hut Franchise Named The Most Trusted Food Service Brand by Economic Times (India) Brand Equity For 2010<h2 style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 12px;">KFC India Receives Recognition in Top Food Service Brands</h2><div><br /></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Futura, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-top: 0px;">LOUISVILLE, Ky. -(// <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank">BUSINESS WIRE</a> //)- The Economic Times' (India) Brand Equity Most Trusted Brands 2010 annual survey has named Pizza Hut the "Most Trusted Food Service Brand' in India for the sixth year, ahead of all other Indian and global food service brands. Pizza Hut is also the only restaurant company to place in the Top 20 Service Brands list. KFC India was recognized for the first time by the survey with a spot in the top five of trusted food service brands. Pizza Hut and KFC India are part of Yum! Restaurants International (YRI), a division of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM), the world's largest restaurant company in terms of system units.<br /><br />"Congratulations to our entire team in India," said Graham Allan, Chief Executive Officer, Yum! Restaurants International. "To be recognized for the sixth year as the most trusted food service brand is a true testament to our employees and franchisees. Their hard work, passion and professionalism have been instrumental in making Pizza Hut and KFC leaders in the food service rankings. India is an important emerging market for us. Both Pizza Hut and KFC are proving very popular with consumers and we recently introduced Taco Bell to India with a restaurant in Bangalore. We continue to make significant investments in India as part of our plan to capitalize on this large and rapidly growing market of more than 1 billion people," added Allan.<br /><br />The Brand Equity Most Trusted Brands Survey, which appears in The Economic Times' September 1 edition, ranks the brands that have earned the trust and loyalty of consumers across India. The survey, conducted by ACNielsen's ORG–MARG market research company, asked more than 8,000 participants, across different socio–economic, age, income and geographic backgrounds, various questions in order to determine each company's overall trust score about the brands that consumers believe provide quality, consistency and reassurance.<br /><br />"We are honored to have our Pizza Hut and KFC brands recognized as the most trusted food service brands in India," said Niren Chaudhary, managing director, Yum! Restaurants International India. "The recognition reflects six years of Pizza Hut's leading reputation in India and consumers' enthusiasm for the Brand and demonstrates how we have successfully developed a strong Pizza Hut and KFC presence, highly skilled workforce and an innovative menu. This honor also recognizes the hard work of our passionate franchisees and Customer Maniacs in our restaurants who help provide outstanding service to our customers daily."<br /><br />Over the past 12 years, Yum! has become the largest and fastest growing restaurant company in India. As of the second quarter 2010 earnings, the Company had 159 Pizza Huts in 33 cities offering a range of localized products including masala pizza, chicken tikka appetizers and spicy Indian drinks.

The Company also opened the first Taco Bell in India earlier this year. By 2015, the Company forecasts 1,000 KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants in India, up from 235 restaurants as of second quarter 2010.<br /><br />YRI, based in Dallas, Texas, is the largest division of Yum!

They will have about 210 stores in India by the end of this year, he said. The company expects its revenue to rise by more than 30% this year, he said, with about half of the growth coming from new outlets and half coming from increased spending by existing customers.<br /><br />"The existing customer is coming in more often and has more money in his pocket," he said.<br /><br />As McDonald's sets up shop in smaller cities, it is finding pent-up demand, said Mr. Bakshi. After years of watching McDonald's commercials on Indian television, small-city consumers are familiar with the menu, he said, though they don't always understand that you have to line up to order food. "They just sit down and wait for someone to take the order," he said.<br /><br />In towns and cities like Lucknow, Varanasi, Panipat, Ambala and Meerut, McDonald's branches are mobbed when they first open, with first-time fast-food buyers snapping up items off of the menu unique to India. These include the Chicken Maharaja Mac and the vegetarian McAloo Tikki burger.<br /><br />A McDonald's restaurant in Noida, located near New Delhi.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/AM-AK706_INCMD_G_20100831125426.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/AM-AK706_INCMD_G_20100831125426.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Pork and beef products are not sold in McDonald's India franchises, and the kitchen is segregated into vegetarian and non-vegetarian sections.<br /><br /><br />More than 10,000 customers a day have been flocking to one of McDonald's newest outlets in Bhopal in the state of Madhya Pradesh.<br /><br />One of the biggest bottlenecks to further growth is infrastructure, said Mr. Bakshi. McDonald's needs good roads for deliveries, uninterrupted power and gas, and shopping areas popular with consumers. Better infrastructure could more than double his McDonald's growth rate in India, he said.<br /><br />"With the kind of hunger that we have seen for a product like ours, it is very clear that if our infrastructure would improve to the level of China's then our growth would double to 40%, 50% or 60% per year," he said.<br /><br />Tags:McDonald's Franchise, McDonalds, McDonalds Franchise, Vikram Bakshi, fast food franchise, burger franchise, mac donalds, mc donalds store, mcdonalds india, mc donalds restaurant, india franchisee<br /><br />Source:The Wall Street Journal, India Business Week, Aug 31,2010, Eric Bellman.<br /><br />This Blog/Information/News Item/Press Release has been posted by Sparkleminds, A Franchise Consulting Company Based at Bangalore,India, Offering Complete Franchise Solutions Nationally and Internationally for more than a decade now.Visit www.sparkleminds.com for more details.Amit Naharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05811280234820027399noreply@blogger.com1320.593684, 78.9628820.593684 78.96288tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-90140956006908362262010-08-31T03:54:00.000-07:002010-09-09T02:42:29.243-07:00California Pizza Kitchen Opens Its First Franchise In Mumbai, IndiaCalifornia Pizza Kitchen Inc. is opening its first restaurant in India, the restaurant chain said Monday.<br /><br />The site is being opened by its franchise partner JSMGGC India Pvt.

The idea is to see what options are being showcased and whether any of the businesses make for an interesting case. You must be absolutely clear that exhibitors at the primarily want to sell their franchise systems. Be cautious of salespersons who are interested in selling a franchise that you are not interested in.<br /><br /><b>Initial Research and Primary Questions:</b><br />Before you attend, research what type of franchise best suits your investment limitations, experience, and goals. When you attend, specifically choose the opportunity that best suits your needs and then engage the franchiser.<br /><br /><b>Your Investment Levels:</b><br />We have often seen clients saying that they could arrange the funds depending upon the opportunity at hand. Infact, a clear understanding of how much you can invest and in what time period would help you immensely on zeroing on the right type of options within these investments. An exhibitor may tell you how much you can afford to invest or that you can’t afford to pass up this opportunity. Before beginning to explore investment options, consider the amount you feel comfortable investing and the maximum amount you can afford. If you need to arrange funds externally or are seeking financial help for balance amounts, be very clear of the procedure and the time involved in clearing the formalities, as the franchiser might not be willing to wait for too long.<br /><br /><b>The Right Business For Your Profile:</b><br />Whats the right business. How can you pre-define one, before knowing what options are on hand. An exhibitor may attempt to convince you that an opportunity is perfect for you. Only you can make that determination. Consider the industry that interests you before selecting a specific franchise system. Ask yourself the following questions:<br /><br /><b>Have you considered working in that segment/line of work before?</b><br />Can you see yourself engaged in that line of work for the next ten years?<br />Do you have the necessary background or skills?<br />How will your family, friends, society perceive you within that business? Is that acceptable to you.If the industry does not appeal to you or you are not suited to work in that industry, do not allow an exhibitor to convince you otherwise. Spend your time focusing on those industries that offer a more realistic opportunity.<br /><br /><b>Maximise Selective Options</b><br />Visit several franchise exhibitors engaged in the type of industry that appeals to you. Listen to the exhibitors’ presentations and discussions with other interested consumers. Get answers to the following questions:<br />Who are the promoters of the business and whats their background?<br />How long has the franchisor been in business?<br />How many franchised outlets currently exist?<br />Where are they located?<br />How much is the initial franchise fee and any additional start-up costs? <br />How will you make money? How much? Whats the pay out to the franchiser?<br />What management, technical, and ongoing assistance does the franchisor offer?<br /><br /><b>Why Should You Meet The Franchiser After The Expo:</b><br />If you feel an opportunity is really to your liking, the best thing to do, is to just tell the franchiser about your seriousness and to schedule an appointment after the show. Most exhibitors are exhausted and have monotonous answers by the middle of the day. Keep the discussion short, meet them after the show and you will see that they will appreciate your wisdom and approach. Exhibitors may also offer you prizes, free samples, or free dinners if you attend a promotional meeting later that day or over the next week to discuss the franchise in greater detail. Do not feel compelled to attend. Rather, consider these meetings as one way to acquire more information and to ask additional questions. Be prepared to walk away from the sales pitch if the franchise does not suit your needs at any stage.<br /><br /><b>Return On Investments and Profitability:</b><br />Some franchisors may tell you how much you can earn if you invest in their franchise system or how current franchisees in their system are performing. Be careful. Make sure you ask for and obtain written substantiation for any income projections, or income or profit claims. If the franchisor does not have the required substantiation, or refuses to provide it to you, consider its claims to be suspect. Also make a careful analysis of the market in which the franchise is going to operate and try matching it with a similar location within the franchise network.<br /><br /><b>Make Notes, Take Photographs and Collect Direct Numbers:</b><br />We have often seen entrepreneurs taking photographs of the exhibitors. It may be difficult to remember each franchise exhibit. Bring a pad and pen to take notes. Take the franchise marketing kits, franchise marketing leaflets, franchise documents or other promotional literature that you can review. Take the exhibitors’ business cards along with the details of the exact person along with their direct numbers, so you can contact them later with any additional questions.<br /><br /><br /><b>Take It First Franchise Sales Pitch</b>:<br />You may be told that the franchisor’s offering is limited, that there is only one territory left, or that this is a one-time reduced franchise sales price. Do not feel pressured to make any commitment. Legitimate franchisers expect you to take time and to investigate their offering. A good deal today should be available tomorrow. Just let your franchiser know that you are serious about the opportunity and are taking the required time to research and decide.<br /><br /><b>Initial Payments</b>:<br />We have at times, seen entrepreneurs going to the franchise shows with their cheque books. It is never advisable. Do not sign any contract or make any payment at the franchise exhibition, until you have the opportunity to investigate the franchisor’s offering thoroughly. Take time to speak with current and former franchisees about their experiences. Because investing in a franchise can entail a significant investment, you should have a franchise lawyer/ franchise consultant to review the franchise documents and have an CA to review the company’s financial projection. A experienced franchise consultant can play a very vital role for you at this stage. Take professional help.<br /><br />Hence you must follow all of the above to buy a reputed franchise business through a franchise exhibition or else, you might end up taking up a franchise that’s not to your liking or is different inside, whilst the cover page looked very interesting at the franchise expo.<br /><br />Tags:Franchise Events, franchise show, Franchise Exhibition, franchise expo, Franchise list, franchise directory, new franchise, Franchise Options, Top Franchise, best franchise,latest franchise <br /><br />This Blog is posted by Franchise Bazar, A End To End Franchise Solutions Company, Based at Bangalore, India.We offer customized services to entrepreneurs seeking new business opportunities and franchises.Visit us on www.franchisebazar.com and speak to us, and we are sure we will be able to help you choose a business that fits your skills, experience, investment levels and lifestyle.Amit Naharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05811280234820027399noreply@blogger.com520.593684, 78.9628820.593684 78.96288tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-47333164440490673382010-08-27T04:42:00.000-07:002010-09-09T02:42:29.276-07:00Bank Loans For Franchise Business In India.Create Entrepreneurship Thru Financial Institution Participation.Retail and franchise solutions provider Franchise India is planning to tie-up with leading public and private sector banks to help provide easy finance to investors keen on setting-up small businesses, a top company official said.<br /><br />Franchise India is trying to bring-in a formal structure to franchise loans and act as a facilitator to provide easy loans for the benefit of small investors.<br /><br />"We are working out on this (franchise loans) and are in talks with a few banks currently to develop a more proper and organised format for franchise loans to investors. Currently, the challenge is that the banks do not accept only capital equipment as security," Franchise India's President, Gaurav Marya, told PTI here today.<br /><br />The franchise business, which is growing at a rate of 30-35 per cent annually will be the next tool to create entrepreneurship with an aim to promote financial inclusion.<br /><br />The retail consulting firm is already in talks with five leading banks--SBI, HSBC, Punjab National Bank, ICICI Bank and HDFC, Marya said, adding that HDFC and SBI are already providing franchise loans but in a small way.<br /><br />"It has to be more organised as only five per cent of the entire franchise financing requirement in India is met by financial institutions. Banks don't give industry-specific funding options to brand franchisees and often treat them at par with independent start-up businesses. This perception has to be changed," Marya added.<br /><br />Tags:franchise loans, franchise lending, Franchise Funding, business loans, Franchise Finance, franchise facilitator,franchise assistance, franchising loans, franchisee loan, franchiser loan.<br /><br />Source: PTI,04:08 PM,Aug 27,2010.<br /><br />This Blog/Information/News Item/Press Release has been posted by Sparkleminds, A Franchise Consulting Company Based at Bangalore,India, Offering Complete Franchise Solutions Nationally and Internationally for more than a decade now.Visit www.sparkleminds.com for more details.Amit Naharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05811280234820027399noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-12146434581832675622010-08-27T00:07:00.000-07:002010-09-09T02:42:29.287-07:00Ahmedabad, Followed By Bangalore and Mumbai-Top 100 Cities For Small Business In India.MUMBAI: Ahmedabad has been rated as the most favourable destination for small businesses in India followed by Bangalore and Mumbai, according to a joint report by consultancy firm Ernst and Young (E&Y) and retail solutions provider, Franchise India. The report gave Gujarat's diamond and textile hub — Surat — the seventh rank, bringing double pleasure to Gujarati businessmen. <br /><br />The report titled 'Top 100 cities for small business in India' identifies cities, big and small, that have the potential to start and galvanise the growth of small businesses. According to the report, states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh have been relatively more proactive towards providing the fitting stratosphere for the prolific growth of small business. <br /><br />The previous edition of state government's Vibrant Gujarat Global Investment Summit in 2009 had focused on small and medium enterprises. Over 8,000 MoUs were signed by SMEs then. The upcoming summit in 2011, promoted as Davos in Action, too will have a focus on small enterprises. Besides Ahmedabad, Surat has been riding the high wave of optimism, given the spurt in demand for diamonds and textiles, both nationally and the exports markets. "SMEs contribute about 9 per cent of India's GDP. The report highlights some essential pre-requisites while starting a business like demography, infrastructure, retail activity, entrepreneurship and ease of doing business," Franchise India's president, Gaurav Marya, said while launching the report on Thursday. <br /><br />The essentials were dealing with construction permits, employing workers, registering property, getting credit and paying taxes, he said.<br /><br />Tags:Small Business, Top 100 Cities For Small Business India, Business Ahmedabad,business bangalore, business mumbai, business surat, India SMB, India SME, Start A Small Business,India Small Business<br /><br />Source:TIMES NEWS NETWORK & AGENCIES, Aug 27, 2010, 12.03am IST TOI.<br /><br />Read more: Ahmedabad No.1 among 100 cities for small biz - Ahmedabad - City - The Times of India http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Ahmedabad-No1-among-100-cities-for-small-biz/articleshow/6442280.cms#ixzz0xmtvUN4t<br /><br />This Blog/Information/News Item/Press Release has been posted by Sparkleminds, A Franchise Consulting Company Based at Bangalore,India, Offering Complete Franchise Solutions Nationally and Internationally for more than a decade now.Visit www.sparkleminds.com for more details.Amit Naharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05811280234820027399noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-58747365639109845952010-08-25T04:00:00.000-07:002010-09-09T02:42:29.298-07:00Why The American Spa Giant 'Red Door' Chose India Over China.MUMBAI: American spa major Red Door Spa Holdings has bypassed China and zeroed in on India for starting its global operations, a senior company official said. <br /><br />“India was our first choice over China because of many factors,” said Todd Walter, CEO, Red Door Spa Holdings. “The rate at which the hospitality industry, specially the five-star hotels are growing, an increasing demand for tourism, thousands of years of culture of well-being (Ayurveda), right demographics, younger population (highly educated and affluent)—all contributed to our decision.” <br /><br />For its maiden foray outside the $13.5-billion North American spa market, Red Door is ready with a two-fold strategy. First, it will partner with a leading Indian hospitality chain. Second, it will also tie up with another partner for free-standing spas in all the major Indian cities, which may include high-end residential projects as well. <br /><br />“In a decade, our goal is to be in every major city of the world. And in India, we should have two spas in Delhi and Mumbai by 2011,” said Mr Walter, who is on an India visit. <br /><br />The value addition that Red Door brings in for a hospitality chain, feels Mr Walter, is an increasing local footfall because of the day spa concept. And along with its Mario Tricoci salon expertise, Red Door CEO is confident of opening an additional revenue door for the hotel it partners with. <br /><br />In a bid to protect the brand name and luxury positioning, Red Door won’t go for either a licensing or a franchise model in India. “It has to be a JV or a model where we have a supervisory role for sure,” said Mr Walter. All the 31 spas that operate under the Red Door name and the 20 salons under Mario Tricoci are directly owned by the Red Door Spa Holding group so that they can ensure the luxury positioning of the brand. <br /><br />A leader in the North American day spa market with a turnover of $160 million, Red Door Spa started working on its global expansion strategy after the onset of recession in America. <br /><br />With over 100 years in the industry, Red Door Spa owns and operates 51 full-service salons and day spas across the United States. The privately-held company backed by North Castle Partners, a private-equity firm specializing in investments in the healthy living and aging sector, licenses trademarks from the publicly-traded fragrance and cosmetics company, Elizabeth Arden Inc, part of Unilever PLC and a $1.1-bn global brand.<br /><br />Tags:Red Door, Todd Walter, Red Door Spa Holdings, Mario Tricoci, North Castle Partners, Elizabeth Arden, Day Spa, Indian Hospitality Chain, Salon Franchise, franchise model, licensing,<br /><br />Source:24 AUG, 2010, 02.05AM IST, NANDINI RAGHAVENDRA,ET BUREAU<br /> <br />This Blog/Information/News Item/Press Release has been posted by Sparkleminds, A Franchise Consulting Company Based at Bangalore,India, Offering Complete Franchise Solutions Nationally and Internationally for more than a decade now.Visit www.sparkleminds.com for more details.Amit Naharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05811280234820027399noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-74457254784974059072010-08-23T23:42:00.000-07:002010-09-09T02:42:29.314-07:00Kurl-On Eyes 100 Cr, Franchisees 'Nests',Shop In Shops and Flagship Showrooms for its expansionAfter diversifying from sleep comfort to providing end-to-end home comfort solutions last year, Kurl-on Ltd will invest around Rs 150 crore in the next couple of years on setting up three mattresses manufacturing plants, one in Saudi Arabia and two more in India.<br /><br />In Saudi Arabia, the Karnataka-based company, part of the Rs 2,000-crore Manipal Group, is looking to invest around Rs 60 crore, and expects to initially sell nearly 12,000 high-end mattresses a month, Mr T. Sudhakar Pai, Chairman, told Business Line here. Kurl-on is a well-known brand in West Asia.<br /><br />The company's aggressive plans are aimed at giving its expansion activities a definitive direction. It is repositioning itself as a player in India's Rs 1 lakh crore home comfort industry. Thus, operating on a bigger canvass, it would manufacture a whole range of products for home comfort also.<br /><br />Furniture business<br /><br />Kurl-on is also focusing on furniture and furnishing. It has already signed a joint venture agreement with Mr Cesare Giacomuzzo for the manufacture of furniture and is looking for partners across India to manufacture other products.<br /><br />To fund its expansion and diversification plans, which includes finding partners and franchisees across India for making various home comfort products, Kurl-on may also raise funds from the capital market next year. Based on the current market evaluation of Kurl-on at Rs 1,600 crore, the company could raise up to Rs 400 crore via an IPO and get listed on the bourses. “We have the shareholders' nod. And many a private equity (PE) player have also approached us,” he added.<br /><br />India plans<br /><br />In India, where the company currently has five manufacturing units, it will establish two more plants with an investment of around Rs 90 crore, to double its current production capacity.<br /><br /><br />One of these plants will be in the Jhagadia industrial hub, near Ankaleshwar, in Bharuch district of Gujarat, where the company will invest Rs 60 crore. Last week, the company was allotted 25 acres at Jhagadia for the purpose.<br /><br />Mr Pai said Kurl-on is also planning to set up a new plant in the North-East, preferably in Assam, with an initial investment of Rs 30 crore. Kurl-on is expecting to increase its turnover from Rs 417 crore in 2009-10 to Rs 1,000 crore in the next two years. With this objective, he said it aims to expand its network to a total of 150 exclusive company-owned flagship showrooms, called “Kurl-on Nests”, on a partnership or franchisee basis, and also 500 other outlets on the shop-in-shop model in the next three years.<br /><br />Tags:Kurl-on, kurl on, kurlon, kurl-on franchise, T.

The company has decided to take the franchise route in India (JB Gupta is its franchise partner in Delhi) and plans to open up to 20 stores every year. Hafele already runs 17 such stores. <br /><br />Jurgen Wolf, MD, Hafele, says, “We plan to grow to a Rs.1,500-crore company in the next three years.” <br /><br />The current fiscal (Hafele operates on a Jan-Dec year) should see the company closing at Rs.100 crore. “Even if we go slow and open only 20 stores a year, we are okay with it, because we are then confident of quality and service,” Wolf says. <br /><br />For a big studio, the company looks for a space above 2,500 sq.ft, while the size of a small studio ranges from 500 to 1,500 sq ft.<br /><br />Having made its foray into the Indian market around seven years ago through the multi-brand dealership route, Hafele has aggressive plans for the future. It is currently looking at partners who are traditionally from the hardware industry, as the company feels it will take lesser time and effort to train them.<br /><br />What the company attempts to create is an ‘experience zone’, where the consumer, as well as the architect and the interior designer, can have a look and feel experience of what Hafele's hardware, and the technology behind it, can do to ease life, modernise homes and smarten up kitchen spaces.<br /><br />The company plans to slowly introduce its entire portfolio of offerings, including the bathroom and appliances. Currently, lighting makes up about 65 per cent of Hafele's turnover.<br /><br />Realising that DIY (do it yourself) is not a big market in India, Hafele is opening up training centres in various cities to train consumers, as well as carpenters and architects, on the correct use of products. <br /><br />Hafele also has three levels of certification and even recommends people who have been trained in installation, though Wolf proudly declares that the company's devices are “so simple and well thought out that even a 10-year-old can read the manual and install the fixtures”.<br /><br />Tags:Hafele,hardware store franchise, fittings franchise, Jurgen Wolf, furniture franchise, Kitchen Franchise, lighting franchise, JB Gupta, interior franchise, studio franchise<br /><br />Source:India Retailing Bureau, 20 Aug 2010<br /><br />This Blog/Information/News Item/Press Release has been posted by Sparkleminds, A Franchise Consulting Company Based at Bangalore,India, Offering Complete Franchise Solutions Nationally and Internationally for more than a decade now.Visit www.sparkleminds.com for more details.Amit Naharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05811280234820027399noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873526608124053733.post-10218380718352632452010-08-23T02:03:00.000-07:002010-09-09T02:42:29.339-07:00India Franchising Market Poised To Be A Major Job SpinnerThe country's franchising market is poised to grow at 35 per cent annually and become a major job spinner in the coming years, as firms look to tap the huge demand present in smaller cities and rural markets, say experts.<br /><br />Companies are eager to explore opportunities in the tier II and III cities, as well as rural markets, as metros and tier I cities are close to saturation in terms of growth, experts said.<br /><br />"There is excitement in the franchisee industry as from a mere 300 franchisers in 2005, the number has touched 1,150 in 2010.
