If you are looking for a franchise opportunity, the choice is mind boggling. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of different types of franchise available for you to invest in, with the same variety in cost. Each have their own benefits and usually the more you pay the more potential to earn. You obviously want to select a profitable business venture so it is important that you thoroughly research.
The major benefit of starting a franchised business is that the business model has already been proven. As a result, only 5% of franchises fail in a year compared to the 30% to 35% of non-franchise small businesses. This means that franchises are the most successful way to set up your own business.
May be a little disingenuous to talk about buying a Chick-fil-A franchise. Chick-fil-A owns all their stores. An Operator runs a store in all respects and benefits from the profits, but CFA retains the actual ownership of the store. Franchises are not sold from owner to owner rather if someone wants to Operate a store then they have to go through the appropriate channels at corporate CFA to do so.
Don’t forget to think about who will be running your franchise. Is this something you will do alone? Will you need an office assistant? Will you need a bookkeeper? And then…what will this all cost you?
