Is Franchising for Me?
Franchises are one of the fastest-growing types of businesses in the U.S. and can be purchased for as little as a few thousand dollars, to over a million dollars. There are franchises for all kinds of products and services—food, pet grooming, massage services, auto repair, etc. Although exact statistics are hard to find, they also tend to have a higher success rate than independent businesses that are not franchises.
Although franchises tend to have higher success rates, they also have risks , and can fail for any number of reasons like any other business. You must investigate Joe’s Restaurant Franchise just as thoroughly as Joe’s Local Diner before buying it. There are a number of great resources in addition to this article to help you determine if a franchise is the right way for you to go. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has some excellent resources (www.sba.gov and [httpwww.sba.govopcpubsfran.pdf]), as do several other services like business brokerage websites. Enter “Is Franchising For Me” in any Internet search engine, and you’ll retrieve links to a large number of resources.
