For the right type of people, a franchise can represent a proven method to running a successful business.
It is worth spending the time and effort in advance to make sure that you pick the franchise that is right for your skills and personality.
Buying a franchise may be a good thing but do not be carried away by what may well turn out to be empty promises.
Buying a franchise can be risky and if you choose the wrong franchise you could end up going out of business and losing all of your up-front investment.
Thanks to more experienced franchise consultants, lawyers and other professional advisers being readily available the franchise failure rate has been reduced dramatically.
