A franchise allows you to go into business for yourself, but not by yourself.

It’s no surprise that many people considering opening a business on their own, turn to franchising. With a built-up brand and supportive network/system, franchisees offer an opportunity to taste maintaining a business while additionally giving them huge assistance.

“A franchise is a business with training wheels,” said Tom Scarda, a podcast dedicated to franchising. Further, he added “For a majority of franchisees, franchising has proven to be a viable way to become a business owner. For the most part, it offers the lowest risks and the highest level of support. Because a franchiser doesn’t succeed until the franchisees do, you’ll find a team of dedicated professionals willing and able to help you every step of the way, from site selection to employee hiring to grand opening.”

“Franchising takes the guesswork out of starting a business,” said Jonathan Barnett, founder and CEO of Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning. Furthermore, he says “They have established systems designed to give new franchisees a massive head start over competitors. On top of that, franchisees benefit from the power of an established brand. It’s hard to overstate the advantage of starting a business and having people know and trust your brand from day one.”

Some Particular Advantages of Franchising:

· Franchising Gives Developmental Capital

· Maintains a Strategic Distance from Employee-Related Issues

· Quickens Extension Over a Wide Region

· Franchisee Administrators are Motivated to Succeed
