Buy a Franchise or Build a Business from Scratch Seminar

There are pluses and minuses either way. A franchise is a "business in a box." It provides a proven business model that comes with a built in support structure that includes training, marketing, and brand awareness. Although the risk can be lower with a franchise than a startup, the franchisee does not have 100% control over how the business is run. And why pay the cost of franchise fees, royalty payments and other expenses associated with a franchise? This is where building your own business may be the better fit.  The control as well as the risk are 100% yours. Is increased control with increased risk the better choice? This workshop will help you understand which business model is best for you.
