In the six years since <a href="https://www.officeevolution.com/locations/alpharetta?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=10-reasons-to-work-out-of-office-evolution-2705947" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Office Evolution</a> became a franchise, the rental-office concept has expanded rapidly, opening up new locations in markets across the U.S. The brand&rsquo;s growth has been hastened by a rapidly increasing demand for reliable non-traditional working spaces. As businesses continue to turn to online tools to facilitate more of their daily operations, remote work is becoming the standard.

Until recently, working remotely meant working from home or in coffee shops. While those stations are immediately more comfortable than most offices, they can quickly lose their appeal. Working from home leaves much room for distraction and can blur the lines between personal time and work, and coffee shops can be noisy, unreliable and expensive. Office Evolution offers remote and independent workers a number of distinct advantages over those options as well as traditional office spaces.

Andy Bean is an Office Evolution area manager in Atlanta, where the brand has established a large and growing customer base. Bean said the brand has caught on quickly because of the number of benefits it offers for professionals. Here are 10 of the most appealing of those benefits.

1.&nbsp;No lease

Office Evolution&rsquo;s pricing options include month-to-month, six-month and year-long rentals. That&rsquo;s an enormous advantage for professionals who are working project-to-project and may need an office for a certain pre-determined stretch of time but not after. &ldquo;Typical office leases are expensive and you are locked in for at least a year, often much longer,&rdquo; Bean said. &ldquo;And when you sign a commercial lease, you carry that on your balance sheet; it has long term implications on your finances. With a short-term lease like ours, you can pay for it can have once and it&rsquo;s off your balance sheet.&rdquo;

2. Nationwide locations

For professionals who travel frequently, it can be a challenge to find a good work environment in each new city. &ldquo;Office Evolution has established office spaces in states across the U.S. and the franchise is expanding rapidly,&rdquo; said Bean. That allows traveling professionals to count on a comfortable and familiar office space on the road.

3. A secure network

One of the risks of taking business outside of the office is relying on public or insecure networks to send and receive sensitive information. Office Evolution removes that risk by offering a secure private ethernet. &ldquo;Our ethernet is not just a luxury,&rdquo; Bean said, &ldquo;it&rsquo;s an essential safeguard that professionals often can&#39;t find elsewhere.&rdquo;

4. A Network of professionals

Every Office Evolution location has a business center manager who can help connect local professionals. &ldquo;One of the downsides of working independently, outside of a large business, is that you have to find and build your own relationships with other professionals,&rdquo; Bean said. &ldquo;If you need a CPA, (and you don&#39;t know where to look,&nbsp;you can&rsquo;t just look in your company directory.)&nbsp;Office Evolution offers a networking group to facilitate those relationships, and that&rsquo;s something you can&rsquo;t find at other rental offices.&rdquo;

5. Parking

&ldquo;You&rsquo;d be surprised how often we hear how important our parking is to people,&rdquo; Bean said. Every Office Evolution offers free parking, with spaces for each of its renters. That has proven an enormous benefit, particularly in urban areas like Atlanta, where parking is scarce.

6.&nbsp;Flexible hours

&ldquo;While most professionals working remotely for a business work mostly standard hours, freelance professionals, particularly creatives, have less strict schedules,&rdquo; said Bean. Office Evolution offers 24/7 access to all of its workspaces, so clients can work whenever they are most productive.

7. Kitchens

&ldquo;For a lot of people, coffee is essential to work,&rdquo; Bean said, &ldquo;but the problem with coffee shops is that you have to keep buying things to work there.&rdquo; Every Office Evolution location is equipped with a full kitchen, stocked with Starbucks brand coffee.

8. A business address

Office Evolution&rsquo;s mailroom provides two distinct advantages over a home address or P.O. box. The first is an easy way to keep all of your work mail at work, separate from your personal mail and exactly where you need it. The second is a level of professionalism that comes with an office mailing address. &ldquo;A lot of people who work out of Office Evolution have clients, and it&rsquo;s crucial that they maintain their clients&rsquo; trust,&rdquo; said Bean. &ldquo;If they ask a client to mail something to their home address or a P.O. box, it can feel unprofessional and start to erode that trust.&rdquo;

9. Flexible work spaces

Office Evolution offers a range of office spaces, including conference rooms, shared work spaces and private rooms, allowing professionals to work on their own, collaborate with partners or host clients at any time. &ldquo;The variety of spaces we offer can accommodate virtually any need,&rdquo; Bean said. &ldquo;Not only does that allow us to host any number of different professions, it allows people who might be doing different work every day to know that they can find a functional and comfortable space for whatever they need to work on.&rdquo;

10. Office Management

Many businesses employ a full-time office manager to maintain the daily operations of their office. That&rsquo;s a luxury that most remote and independent professionals don&rsquo;t enjoy, unless they work out of Office Evolution. &ldquo;Every Office Evolution location is fully staffed and equipped to manage all of your office needs. The phones are answered, the mail is delivered, the kitchen is cleaned and stocked with coffee and there&rsquo;s always someone on hand to help with whatever you need.&rdquo;

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>?

Building&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-do-you-build-a-franchise-business-plan-2717037">a business plan</a> is a crucial operational step for any entrepreneur. But how do I build a business plan for a franchise that complements the franchisor’s system while addressing the unique needs of a given location? In this guide with expert tips, you’ll learn how to craft a thoughtful, actionable franchise business plan.<h2>Start With The Franchisor’s System In Mind</h2>So, how do I build a business plan for a franchise? Well, avoiding repetition is a good start.“You specifically don’t want to duplicate what your franchisor is doing,” said long-time multi-unit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.solafranchising.com/">Sola Salons</a> franchise owner,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/haynes-chidsey-6a36a06/">Haynes Chidsey</a>. “There’s a reason why you join a franchise system and why you pay the fees and costs associated with it.”A strong franchise business plan should take advantage of the resources, marketing and operational systems that the franchisor provides (while utilizing daily experiences at the local level to help fine-tune what matters locally).<h2>Focus On Local Priorities</h2>A franchise business plan should be&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/strategicfranchising/how-to-build-a-strong-franchise-brand-presence-in-your-local-community-2729771">locally focused</a>. It should reflect the unique characteristics and needs of each local market. It’s essential to identify opportunities to attract local customers, build relationships within the community at the local level and tailor services to the regional preferences required by each market.“Be complementary to what your system provides,” said Chidsey. “Stay locally focused. That’s what I would say is key. Avoid mistakes by focusing on the magic.”<h2>Practical Steps For Building Your Plan</h2><ol><li>Assess Both Market And Competition – Build a thorough understanding of local demand, competitors and potential customer base. This will lead to more informed projections. &nbsp;</li><li>Define Financial Goals – Include startup costs, ongoing fees and revenue expectations in the business plan. Staffing, rent, marketing and working capital should all be factored in. &nbsp;</li><li>Leverage Franchisor Resources – Incorporate the systems, training and support offered by the franchisor (instead of reinventing processes). &nbsp;</li><li>Set Operational Priorities – Decide which areas require hands-on local management (as opposed to areas guided by the franchisor). Focus energy where it’s most impactful. &nbsp;</li><li>Review And Adjust – A business plan shouldn’t be static. So, track performance, adjust strategies and refine priorities as the franchised business scales.</li></ol><h2>The Takeaway</h2><a href="https://1851franchise.com/chapter-3-developing-a-franchise-business-plan-2722586">Creating a franchise business plan</a> is about balance. With a clear plan that integrates franchisor resources and local insight, franchisees can confidently move forward, knowing their businesses are structured to thrive. Leveraging a proven franchisor system to make smart, locally relevant decisions is key. By slowing down to go fast, and catering to the local trends or demands unique to each market, zees can more effectively build a roadmap and franchise business plan capable of delivering long-term success.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?
