Franchises are currently on the way up in the business world.  There are many reasons why this is true: affordability, dependability, support and lowered risk.  To begin with, franchises can be more affordable than you think.  Most people think of franchises and automatically assume McDonalds or Wendy’s.  There are thousands of healthcare franchises, vending, construction, fitness, education and cleaning franchises.  This means that there is a franchise for every entrepreneur out there, regardless of means.

Franchises are also dependable, not just to the customer, but to the franchisee.  There is comfort in the fact that your business model has worked before, and you can make it work again.  There is also the dependability of effective marketing from other franchisees.  If you are buying a franchise with a good reputation, you won’t really have to worry about brand reputation and making your business look legitimate.

Support is also a great aspect of owning a franchise.  When reading through your contracts, see if the franchiser aids with marketing, finding real estate, or offers you a manual of best practices.  This kind of support system can be very beneficial for a new business owner.  Many franchisers have established relationships with real estate firms, marketing companies, etc., and can help you get started.  Many franchisers also stick with you to make sure you are successful.

Lastly, lowered risk is inherent with a franchise.  There isn’t a worry that you will have to develop a business from scratch.  Because of all the opportunities afforded to you by the experience of another, you will have a lowered risk.  Loan officers are also likely to loan to you, in most cases, because your business model has been tested and proven to work.
