Starting a Franchise
Buying into a franchise is one option to starting a business. When you purchase a franchise you are basically paying for the right to market an already established product or service owned by somebody else (the franchisor). There are many advantages to buying into a franchise (e.g. opening the business faster, quicker way to gain customers, having less risk, etc.) but there are many things that you need to watch out as well (e.g. fees, loss of independence).

Before sinking your savings into a brand-name franchise, learn how the franchise is managed, the fees involved, and expectations from the franchisees. Starting a Franchise section is your source of information, tools and resources for starting your own franchise business.
