You are not owning the right franchise until you have got these 6 steps right

Demonetisation, unemployment, tight credit, and slamming stock market-- we're in hard times and it will continue for some time. Disregarding this, or possibly as a result of it, franchising is booming, with a huge number of individuals investigating franchise opportunities every day.

Business ownership is every man’s dream, but not all of them come true. If you have the money and looking to buy a franchise, you’ll have to do some thorough research. We don’t mean to scare you but the truth is-- you’ll have to run in sulky afternoons and cold mornings.

Let’s make it easy for you. Follow these and you’ll be done:

What is your budget?

Franchise costs shift significantly, depending on the industry and particular business model. While upfront fees for some are less than $10,000, others can be upward of $1 million.

Food franchise?

Opening a food franchise will have a much higher investment than a locally situated, business-to-business franchise, basically because of the amount of equipment and inventory important to start the business.

The procedure

When you contact a franchisor, request that they plot their franchise sales and qualifying processes. This will help you remain on track and ensure progress.

Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)

Once you receive the FDD, consult a franchise attorney. He’ll be able to help you with the details, even the minute ones. If you have a business attorney at home or someone close to you, you can consider their advice but that might cost you money.

Talk

Talk to existing franchise owners, know about the ROI. How is the business doing and what pros and cons come with this brand.

Done!

Once you've completed the preceding 5 steps, it's time to make your final decision. If you've carefully followed this process, you can be sure that you've made your choice for all of the right reasons
