Franchising, retail, business
21/11/2015
Many people dream of being their own boss or owning their own business. The cost of opening your own business can vary widely depending on the location — home based or stand alone shop? Will you have to purchase office furniture or equipment? Will there be the cost of building or will you move into an existing building? The costs can quickly escalate and you haven’t even made any money yet.
Consider a Franchise
A franchise helps both you and the offering company. A franchise is one way a company builds its business by licensing to interested parties an individual location or locations. The franchisee pays a fee to own and operate a new location of the company’s business such as cleaning services or fast food. For a fee, the franchisee will be allowed to open a location of that business; with the licensing company offering support to get the business going.
Pros and Cons
One of the advantages of opening a franchise is stepping right into a successful business with an established reputation and products. Building a business from the ground up would take many years to build a customer base that comes standard in a franchise.
