What does franchise mean? Part 1: The path to self-employment

The dream of self-employment can be fulfilled without any great risk. At first, this sounds like an illusion. It is possible with a franchise partnership. But what exactly is a franchise and how do I become self-employed as part of a system? If you've already asked yourself this question, then this article is for you. In our blog series ‘What does franchising mean?’, we want to answer your questions about self-employment and franchising. In the first part of the series, you will find out what the first steps towards your own franchise partnership are using the Coffee-Bike franchise example.

Step 1: Obtain information

Every self-employed business starts with a lot of research. To make this part as easy as possible for you, we have already summarised all the important information for you. Our free Coffee-Bike information pack gives you an initial overview of the mobile franchise system. With just a few clicks, you will receive initial information about the mobile coffee bar, the advantages of the franchise system and the various possible uses of the Coffee-Bike.

Step 2: Get to know the Coffee-Bike franchise in detail

To delve deeper into the Coffee-Bike franchise and get to know the team behind the system, we offer the opportunity to take part in one of our franchise information events several times a month. These cover the essential topics:

• Earning potential
• Costs
• Location search
• Authorisations for mobile sales
• and much more.

To give you maximum flexibility, you have various options for attending an information event:

• Franchise information day: We will come to your city and of course bring the Coffee-Bike with us. Get to know our expansion team at an information event, try a coffee and experience the Coffee-Bike in action. Talk to our team, ask questions and see the quality of the mobile coffee bar for yourself.
• Online live webinar: In the webinar, you can familiarise yourself with the Coffee-Bike franchise from the comfort of your own home. As part of a detailed live presentation, you will get a comprehensive impression based on informative videos, key figures and data.
