Who hasn’t had the dream of starting a new business? Taking on new challenges, exploring new frontiers, and being in control of your own destiny. Franchising is one way to accomplish this without assuming the enormous risk of starting a business on your own, as a franchise usually comes with a proven business model, training, and the support of a team of people.

Considering franchise ownership takes careful thought. You need to study the industry, and you need to know yourself.

Some think that owning a franchise is a way to be your own boss. While this is true to some extent, franchisees must follow franchise guidelines and policies, be true to the brand, follow its system, and represent it properly.

Owning a franchise is very different from entrepreneurship. According to entrepreneur.com, “You don’t buy a franchise because you want to buck the system. You buy into it because you believe in the system as a tried-and-tested business model.” Rather than striking out as a rebel, it’s best to believe you’re a soldier following a mission that you wholeheartedly believe in.
