The Linea Verde Franchisee candidate must benefit from an exceptional moral reputation as well as a reputable social good standing, (or Goodwill).

This will help the Franchisee’s expansion and name recognition in the market and will build upon the franchisee’s existing confidence and trust within their corresponding society, which will eventually simplify the day to day operation needs and requirements, and increase the potential of success.

A Linea Verde Franchisee may be the perfect candidate as a Linea Verde territory Franchisee or sub-Franchisee, in terms of social standing and reputation, but may not be capable, or at least ready, personally and / or financially, to properly devote the needed financial support and cash-flow backing that the Linea Verde Franchise may need for success in a particular territory.

The potential Linea Verde Franchisee must therefore have a positive financial track record. In particular, the candidate must have, individually, as an investor in a company, or part of a group, a proven history of positive cash flow and strong financial health, which will render the Franchisee’s support level much safer and comfortable when facing unexpected business pitfalls.

The candidate must also be , at the time of evaluation, financially very stable, personally , and – or capable of having easy access to financial institutions willing to provide him with the financing needed for the successful development of the Linea Verde Franchise and network of branches.

A Linea Verde Franchisee may have both, great Moral standing and excellent financial capabilities.

Still, to increase chances for success, the Linea Verde Franchisee must have a solid previous management experience to ensure the success of the business. The candidate must also enjoy a clear understanding of both, the profiles of the key positions in the management team and the experience needed for every person in each one of these key positions, as recommended by Linea Verde, and then a carefully selected professional team to efficiently perform the job, in the hope of ensuring maximum success.

Although the Linea Verde Franchisor offers a highly advanced level of support in terms of showroom management and operation, NO plan can implement itself without GOOD and professional front line people, and no showroom can succeed without the full and effective backing of the Back office management and support staff.

For the success of the Linea Verde business, it is very crucial that the Franchisee possesses a carefully selected professional management team who in turn will be the main reason for the smooth running and professional success of the business.

A Linea Verde Franchisee may have high Moral standards, large financial resources, and successful Management capabilities.

Still, success may not be evident except maybe if the Franchisee has enjoyed historical business successes as well as continued potential for success. This may be demonstrated if the candidate has historically accumulated the needed experience to positively deal with, and successfully surmount, the common (and not so common) business challenges, with which he / she will normally have to deal with in his / her other businesses and which are normally needed to ensure the success of the Linea Verde Franchise.

The Franchisee must prove the historical capability and expertise to run the business effectively and to make the right management and financial decisions even during economic recession to ensure the continued successful and profitable running of the franchise.

Although the Franchisor is always there to offer solutions when there are problems, it is the Franchisee who needs to immediately identify and quickly respond to all operational problems, and overcome any and all business difficulties, with unquestionable success.

Proven track records will arm the Franchisee for a far better and more rewarding Linea Verde operation.

A Linea Verde Franchisee may have it all, Moral wealth, financial wealth, Management wealth as well as Historical wealth.

However, to increase the chances of success, the Linea Verde Franchisee must have as well a clear vision of the needed strategy required to achieve his / her Linea Verde goals successfully.

He / she must be able to establish a clear development strategy and growth plan for the Linea Verde franchisee in the Franchisee’s territory (or country) and must clearly understand the needed requirements to realize them, thereby making sure that they are met in a positive and successful way.

The Linea Verde Franchisee should be clearly focused on establishing, believing in and continuously upgrading the long term goals and strategies that best fits the Linea Verde business and best satisfies the success requirements of both, the Franchisee and the Franchisor.

The Franchise Opening & Operation agreement duration is up to a decade, and may be more with time. This will bind both the Franchisee and the Franchisor for a long, long time, for the worse or for the better, and preferably for the BEST.

A clear, well thought and well defined strategic vision for the Linea Verde business expansion and development in the territory (or country), together with a detailed execution plan, should therefore be carefully prepared and presented to the Franchisor by the potential Linea Verde Franchisee for evaluation and approval by both parties before any binding accord is made.
