Why a Franchise?

There are many benefits to owning a franchise rather than starting your own business from the ground up. A franchise gives you access to proven systems that the franchisor has spent time and money in developing for their business model. When starting a business on your own, you take on the risk of going through the learning process of trial and error encounters until you find what is successful and what is not for your business. Unfortunately the market place is not very tolerant of people starting their own business. Statistics from the US Dept of Commerce state that 40% of all business start-ups fail in the first year and 90% fail in the first 5 years. Similar research of franchises shows 90% are still in business after 10 years.

That is why people chose a franchise system, because In addition to a higher success rate a franchised business has the systems, policies and procedures all laid out for you. You also have the support of a much larger organization, brand recognition and increased buying power which makes owning a franchise advantageous for a new business owner.
