Flowers are a staple in occasions and events. People usually buy them for birthdays, holidays, festivals, and funerals. Some recent statistics report an expected 6.3% growth in the global market of the floral industry for the next five to six years (from 2022 to 2028). Even in the Philippines, it is believed that the floristry market will show impressive growth based on current insights and reports. If you are interested in opening up a flower shop but are reluctant to start from scratch, you can try an alternative: franchising.
This business structure is where the franchisee (buyer) pays an existing business a given licensing fee to use the franchisor's branding, products, suppliers, and management. With a franchise agreement, you get many benefits and support from your franchisor. Instead of researching and establishing things on your own, franchisors provide everything you need to start your business, like training materials, suppliers (e.g. farms for fresh flowers), products, and tips for operating the business. As you carry the name of a large established company, you have the advantage to gain higher success rates than your competitors.
Here are some flower shop franchisors you can apply to begin your dream floral business:
Knots Flowers and More
With over 18 outlets, Knots Flowers is a leading flower shop franchise with high margins. They provide multiple revenue channels like online stores, walk-ins, event services, and more. If you franchise with them, you can also get an official Disney© license for flower creations. Their franchise fee is an estimated Php 350,000 and investment will be around Php 2.5 M plus. Contact them through their official website and email for more information.
Designer Blooms Flower Shop
Designer Blooms are known for their creativity and dedication to arranging artificial, dried, and fresh flowers. Designer Blooms also provide online design consultations and services upon request (which is popular during holidays). They also make sure that they harvest all fresh flowers with a farm-to-hand approach, meaning they will only pick the flowers once you place an order.
Designer Blooms looks for franchisees who are entrepreneurial, results and performance-driven, and artistically gifted. Fees and other details will depend on both parties’ agreement. You can contact them on their official website or walk in. Visit their shop along East Service Road in Muntinlupa.
Philippineflowers.com
Known for their custom-made bouquet and fruit basket services, Philippine flowers are also popular for their quality delivery services. They currently have over 558 network florist websites throughout the Philippines (Manila, Cebu, Quezon, Cavite, and many more). Philippine flowers are strict to have franchisees who know how to keep high standards and quality of both products and customer care. They require a resume with a complete description of your experience as a florist. They will fill you in on other details once you contact them. You can inquire and apply through their official website and email.
Although there are several benefits and advantages to entering a franchise agreement, it is still important to learn and understand the details first. Inquire about the franchisor’s business background and conditions to decide whether it is suitable for your preference in running a business. You also have to take note you are buying a large established business license, which means it will surely cost a lot to pay for it. Check the terms and fees to determine if it fits your financial limits.
