Franchisee Services ::

Deciding to go on one’s own and become self-employed is one of the most difficult decisions a person can make in life. Often, the decision to become self-employed is influenced by many factors including personal ambition, temperament, financial resources, personal obligations, lifestyle choices and opportunity. Once the decision has been made, the would-be entrepreneur has three choices:

1) Start a new business: The most inexpensive way to run one’s own business, and the most risky financially. Statistically, 80 to 90 per cent of new businesses fail within 24 months.

2) Buy an existing business: While this may be an effective way of getting into business, the buyer of a really worthwhile business is often obliged to pay a hefty premium called “goodwill” for the privilege.

3) Invest in a franchised business: A compromise between the above two options. Combines the attributes of a proven business model and the affordability of a new business.
