Owning your own business is a daunting, and often times, lonely task. There are many challenges to running a business by yourself. It is for these reasons that many potential entrepreneurs look to open a franchise when deciding to start their own business. Why franchising is a wise choice? With a franchise, the process of you opening your own business is simplified. You don’t need to start off from scratch and you buy-in to a tried and tested concept. The failure rate for franchise businesses is lower than that of new independent start-ups. This is because you are able to leverage off an already successful brand and system. Choose your franchise partner wisely Make sure that you have thoroughly researched the franchise and make sure you are looking at a reputable partner when opening a franchise. Steps to opening a franchise • Decide if running your own business is right for you – will you cope with the challenges of being an entrepreneur. • Identify suitable franchise opportunities • Learn about the industry you will be operating in. • Check your financial situation – how much are you able to invest? If capital is limited, look for a franchise option with low start-up costs? Also, look at the total costs associated with the franchise. • Understand your level of contractual obligation towards the franchise. • Get an in-depth understanding of the financial projections for your chosen franchise and see if you would be able to manage your cash flow and investment. • Look for the right type of industry for you – would you like to run a fast-food operation or an internet marketing business? • Settle on your risk appetite – how much are you prepared to risk for a business? Your franchise option should reflect this concern. • Is your franchise consistently being marketed? If the franchise group does not actively market itself, it will make it much more difficult for you to be successful. • Network with existing franchises to confirm your choice and find out answers to your burning questions. The steps above are just a few considerations when looking to open a franchise. Franchising provides an attractive solution for those with an entrepreneurial spirit but who don’t want to take on all the associated risk of starting a new business.
