When a couple plans to run the franchise together
This fictional scenario shows why two owners need one explicit operating plan.
The hidden assumptions
“Maya and Chris” expect to share the business equally, but each imagines a different division of sales, delivery and administration. They also need the venture to replace two incomes quickly.
The planning reset
They document roles, working hours, decision rights and the minimum household income required. They then model whether the franchise can carry two salaries during ramp-up.
Questions they take forward
- Does the model genuinely need two full-time owners?
- How are disagreements resolved?
- What happens if one person returns to employment?
- Are both parties bound by guarantees and restrictions?
