Do you want to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself? Would you be more comfortable owning a business that had most of the "kinks" worked out of it? Are you more at ease with a proven "plan" already in place? If the answer to some or all of these questions is "yes," you may be a good candidate for a franchise business.
Franchises are typically developed from a concept that has been tried, tested, and duplicated many times. Systems for operating the business have already been developed and tested. You don't have to "reinvent the wheel." This tends to be a particularly good way of getting into business for people whose backgrounds are in large corporations or the military. People that are used to a more structured work environment typically appreciate the fact that successful systems and processes are available. And it is widely believed that the success rates of startup franchise businesses are much greater than for independent businesses started by individuals.
So, by now you are thinking, "that's fine and dandy, but what is franchise advising?" Franchise advising is the process of guiding a new franchise buyer through the buying process. With something like 4000 franchises available, it is almost impossible for an individual to do all of the research on all of the prospective franchises. And what questions should you ask?
