Is Franchising Right For Me?

Who Should Franchise?

Despite the impressive merits of franchising, not every business should franchise. Here are a few characteristics of businesses that may not be suited for franchising:

• Complex operations.
• Low margins.
• New, unproven businesses.
• Businesses that require large numbers of employees.
• Difficult to monitor from long distances

On the other hand, some business characteristics lend themselves very well to franchising:

• A good track record of profitability.
• A unique or unusual concept.
• Broad geographical appeal.
• Relatively inexpensive to operate.
• Relatively easy to operate.
• Readily duplicated.
