Evaluating Franchise Opportunities
BEFORE YOU INVEST!
Although the success rate for franchisee-owned businesses is significantly better than for many other start-up businesses, success is not guaranteed. One of the biggest mistakes that you make is to be in a hurry to get into business. If you shortcut your evaluation of a potential business, you might neglect to consider other franchises that are more suitable for you. Don't be "pressured" into a franchise that is not right for you. Although most franchises are managed by reputable individuals, as in all industries, some are not. Also, some franchises could be poorly managed and financially weak.
