Introduction to Franchisors

Regional Franchisors are the driving force of the Jim's system. They are responsible for recruiting, training and supporting Franchisees, which includes finding them work, and providing practical and moral support. They are 'hands on' - usually operating a franchise themselves while building their team of Franchisees.

The majority of Franchisors are successful Jim’s Franchisees, though not always from the same division for which they are granted the Regional Franchise. Some have been recruited from outside, usually with industry experience relevant to the division.

Franchisors must provide leadership and a strong example of good work ethics, while recognising that Franchisees are customers and not subordinates. It is a demanding role that combines practical ability with a high level of personal and business management skills. The primary focus of a successful Franchisor must be on helping their Franchisees to succeed.

Most Regional Franchisors have done well, finding a business that combines financial rewards with lifestyle and personal satisfaction.

REGIONAL AREAS - CORPORATE FRANCHISES

In some cases, a traditional Franchisor model may not workin country or semi-rural areas. The corporate Franchise model is sometimes a suitable alternative. Available only for people currently in the business and wanting to grow, it is similar to a licensing arrangement, whereby the franchisee re-brands as a Jims Franchisee, purchases a Franchise and pays monthly fees. The corporate Franchise does their own marketing and advertising within the region.
