FAQs

  • The most significant benefit to franchising is the reduced level of risk. This comes from the franchise system’s proven method of doing business. Franchising offers individuals the opportunity to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. The franchisor is there to provide support with all the different functions of the business. They have seen the issues that can arise in their business and know how to deal with any problems effectively. They provide extensive initial training and support so you’re well prepared to handle whatever comes your way and, ultimately, reach your personal and financial goals faster than you may be able to on your own.

  • No. In fact, most franchisees have had no experience in the industry that they choose to purchase in. Franchisors want their franchisees to work on the business and not in the business. Franchisees are managers, rather than workers. Franchisors need people who can be effective in areas such as managing and motivating employees, generating sales, and running the day-to-day operations as effectively as possible.
