How to Make Money with a 10 til 2 Franchise
These are the terms you will need to be familiar with:
- Placement: One employee working in one job|
- Margin: The difference between the hourly rate you bill a client for a 10 til 2 employee and the hourly pay the employee earns. The Margin is expressed as a percentage: (Bill rate – Pay rate / Bill rate = Margin).
- Billable Hours per Placement: The average weekly hours worked per placed 10 til 2 employee times an average of 4 weeks in a month; each placement may work as few as 4 or as many as 35 hours per week (this number must be in compliance with your state’s employment laws related to ‘part-time’ work).
- Total Billable Hours: This is the total of average monthly hours per placement multiplied by the average number of placements in a month.
- Average Bill Rate: The bill rates for each placement will vary depending on the type of position being filled; for instance, an administrative assistant may be billed out at $19 per hour, whereas, a full-charge bookkeeper may be billed out at $23 per hour. Your average bill rate will vary depending on the mix of placement types you have filled and the billable rates your market will bear.
- Direct Placement Fee Revenues: Some clients prefer to hire our candidates directly. The candidate is not placed on the 10 til 2 payroll, therefore, there are no direct costs associated with this type of revenue.
- Buy-Out Revenues: When a 10 til 2 employee has been working for a period of time in a job (our standard is 6 months), the client may wish to ‘buy’ the employee from us and put that employee on their own payroll. At this time we will charge the client a buy-out fee equal to the average of one-month cost of that employee over the 6 months of employment (based on historical information).
Here is how you make money:
- Build strong margins: Mark-up will vary between industries and markets. We will assist you in achieving the highest margins possible.
- Increase billable hours: The higher the better! You want as many placed employees working as many hours as possible; if your average employees work more hours per week, then you can have fewer placements while maintaining profitability.
- Maximize average bill rate: The higher the better; this rate will vary depending on your market conditions.
- Develop direct placements: This type of revenue has no direct costs; therefore, it is very good for the bottom line.
- Encourage buy-outs: These revenues will be reflective of the placement initially made (number of hours per week and bill rate); you lose the on-going revenue stream of weekly hours, however, you receive a large chunk of cash at one time and it means you have a happy client and a happy employee which leads to additional business. Often, it would take you months of an on-going placement to make the same revenue you can make from a buy-out fee.
"Before I became I 10 til 2 franchise owner, I was a satisfied 10 til 2 client! As a small business owner, I know how effective a qualified employee can be in the survival and growth of a small business. 10 til 2 provides extensive training, on-going support and resources that are essential to the success of my 10 til 2 business unit. The systems and processes they have in place helped me tremendously to jump-start and continue to grow my franchise unit. My other business is still a satisfied 10 til 2 client and now, I can also say that I am a very happy and satisfied 10 til 2 franchise owner!"
