<p>Jeff Smith is rapidly gaining a reputation as &#8220;The Business Coaching Guy&#8221; with the businesses he is working with. Even though he is gaining this notoriety he is thrilled to speak to Wellington small businesses to discover if BOOST or &#8216;The Business Coaching Guy&#8217; can assist.</p>
<p>&#8216;We have an excellent $299 introductory programme and this is a great way to see if your business can be grown with BOOST Business Coaching over a period of a month.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="../../../../../?p=179">See if BOOST business coaching can help you franchise your business</a></p>
<p align="center"><a href="../../../../../?p=115">The $299 Wellington Business Coaching program</a></p>
<p>In July Jeff Smith took up the first BOOST Master Franchise.  Jeff has been involved in coaching, mentoring and working with small businesses since 2001. Jeff formalised his own small business experience in 2003/2004 with a graduate diploma in Economic Development gained through AUT.<br />
Jeff Resides on Wellington&#8217;s Kapiti Coast with wife, Michelle and son Ryan. &#8220;The Kapiti Coast is an excellent strategic location to run a busy BOOST master franchise&#8221; says Jeff. The Wellington region encompasses Wanganui, Manawatu, Kapiti, the Hutt Valley and Wellington city.<br />
Jeff says &#8220;I am really looking forward to bringing on our first BOOST coaches in the Wellington region &#8211; The systems we&#8217;ve developed over the past 7 years are extremely simple, extremely effective and designed with our small business market in mind&#8221;<br />
In Jeff&#8217;s own words &#8221; apart from the experience with the hundreds of small businesses that I have worked with in Wanganui &amp; Northland and my formal qualifications the most valuable experience I can bring to our Small Business clients is the time spent owning and operating three businesses over the past two decades&#8221;. This coupled with the simple system and processes we incorporate into your business spells guaranteed success for our Business Coaching clients.</p>
<p>Jeff had no trouble aligning his values to those of BOOST business coaching. &#8220;BOOST business coaching has a vision of no small businesses failure in New Zealand.&#8221; &#8220;With my observations over the past seven years with businesses owners who are employing people, risking capital, property and reputation who have found themselves in the very unfortunate position of going under the effects are devastating.&#8221; Loved ones, families and communities are affected.&#8221; With Jeff&#8217;s recent experience as CEO of the Northland Chamber of Commerce BOOST coaching has at its fingertips a whole host of resources available to Small Businesses.</p>

<p>A <strong>business coach</strong> will work with you strategically to look at the potential buyers when it comes to <a href="../../../../../?p=96">selling your business</a>. There are roughly seven types of potential buyers for your business. This doesn&#8217;t include other succession strategies such as families or key people. It will help your sales process to understand the seven types of buyer that you can target or that you are likely to encounter.</p>
<p><strong>Private individual</strong></p>
<p>This is generally a person with good financial resources or access to finances. They are looking for a return on their investment and some flexibility in lifestyle choices. They also believe they can buy and at least maintain the current performance of the business or take it to a higher level.</p>
<p><strong>Redundant or Soon to be redundant person</strong></p>
<p>This purchaser is concerned that he may be made redundant or has been made redundant from a larger company. In some cases, they are getting older and have their nest-egg savings and have often thought to themselves that they could run a business. Franchise businesses are often preferential to these buyers. They like the idea of being in business for themselves but not by themselves. They are also used to working with systems and processes in their corporate life..</p>
<p><strong>Current Worker in your business </strong></p>
<p>An existing employee may be a potential buyer. An employer may have some good ideas on how &#8216;he could run the business&#8217;. The advantage to this of course is that the employee may know most of the operational ropes of running a business. The disadvantage to you the seller is that the buyer may not be in a financial position to outright purchase the enterprise. A way around this &#8211; if the business has a strong cash flow is that the seller may be able to take a deposit and leave some finance in the business. The banks will also look favorably at someone with experience.</p>
<p><strong>ROI Buyer</strong></p>
<p>The Return on Investment buyer is primarily concerned with the return. The Bottom Line. He will often run the business under management. The ROI buyer can gain access to large amounts of finance very quickly. The buyer&#8217;s consideration on type of industry, customers, operations, etc is secondary</p>
<p><strong>ROI Strategic Buyer</strong></p>
<p>This buyer is similar to the ROI buyer however he asks himself on day one &#8216; What&#8217;s my Exit Strategy&#8217; What actions do I need to take today to grow the capital value of this business. They may hold the business for a while or may make some changes and remarket the enterprise to one of the other businesses in this article</p>
<p><strong>Competitor / Allied business</strong></p>
<p>Usually a company that believes that purchasing your business and merging operations will provide them with a stronger business.</p>
<p><strong>Grow by acquisition buyer</strong></p>
<p>This company&#8217;s goal is to grow and gain market share. They purchase similar or competitors for purposeful growth. They are already experienced in the industry and think that this is a good way of becoming dominant in their market.</p>
<p>As a Wellington Business Coach I can say that we are often working with businesses who are looking to sell their business,<a href="../../../../../../boost-products.html"> EXITBoost</a> is a great action orientated program we use to move assist sellers get maximum financial benefit for their business. We put in effective business strategies to ensure that we are targeting the right potential market</p>

<p>When you’ve been in business for a few years, gotten through the initial roller coaster ride you naturally look at ways to grow your business either through expansion or a franchising model.</p>
<p>Plenty of business owners toy with the idea of franchising. After all every industry seems to be represented in the franchising model. On the face of it Franchising can seem to offer rapid business growth, expansion and instant brand recognition.</p>
<p>Franchising is a viable option for many businesses. Is yours? Some businesses seem to adapt well to franchising whilst others struggle. What characteristics have we seen in a business that makes them more franchisable?</p>
<p><strong>Simple Business Model</strong></p>
<p>The more basic a business model the easier it will be to duplicate and franchise. In other words if you have an easy to run business that is successful then you should be able transfer it to another party. Your model and operations of course should be documented in an operations manual. You should start today to start documenting your procedures and processes. If this seems too hard start creating flow charts for each process.. This is the key to absolutely any franchise. If it can be duplicated, it can be franchised.</p>
<p><strong>Your suppliers</strong></p>
<p>Apart from your basic business model your suppliers need to be available in whatever part of the country you hope to begin franchising in. Some products, especially something that is perishable, may not be available in different areas of the country. Other excellent suppliers that serve you well locally<span> </span>may have no interest in expanding or supplying you outside of your current region. This may have serious impacts on products and services that you sell</p>
<p><strong>Fees</strong></p>
<p>Ensure that your franchisors will be able to still make a profit after your fees and royalties are taken into account. Maybe you could offer periods free of fees to entice potential franchisors.</p>
<p>There are a number of other considerations when it comes to franchising. Your business Coach should be able to advise you on these. Contact BOOST if you want to be shown how to go down the franchising route. Especially if you are a small business wanting rapid growth.</p>
