Is Franchising Right For Me?

There are Many Reasons for Franchising:
• Someone has already had a great business idea and tested it!
• Franchisors usually have national advertising campaigns and a solid trading name.
• Franchisors should offer comprehensive training programmes
• Credible franchisors can help secure funding of the investment
• You are in control of your profitability, with the addition of a solid support infrastructure
Whilst franchising is a comparatively safe route, it is not right for everyone.
Before considering franchising as an alternative to employment,

Please ask yourself the following questions:
• Am I ready to be my own boss?
• Do I believe my past accomplishments give me the confidence to build a successful business?
• Am I willing to invest some of my savings/investments to achieve my business and personal goals?
• Can I raise the finance for the initial license fee, working capital and start up costs?
• Am I prepared to adopt proven business methodologies and procedures?

If you have answered positively to the above then franchising might be right for you.
