Starting a Franchise
by: Kevin McNally
Franchise oppotunities are all around us today. You may pop into Starbucks
for coffee and then head for lunch at MacDonalds before returning home and
ordering your dinner from another local franchise, Pizza Hut. Many of the
most popular outlets you visit may be franchises as they offer the security
of a brand name and the attraction of starting your own business.

The world of Franchise is certainly complex but many people are now
seriously looking at starting a franchise as they look to leave their
routine day jobs and embark on an exciting business opportunity and run
their own business. Indeed many franchise fairs and seminars are now the
perfect location to meet franchise experts and discuss funding and business
plans to determine what type of niche you may quickly recoup your investment
with.

Selecting the correct franchise opportunity is vital and you should research
the company history and seek advice from current franchise owners before
making important decisions. Many franchise opportunities allow you a great
degree of freedom with your marketing and advertising, however many others
have trademark guidelines and company policies which you must be aware of
before launching a promotion.

Joining your local chamber of commerce or business club is a good first
step as many business owners have experience in the franchise industry and
also have a great network of contacts that could give your franchise
business a great head start. Your local business enterprise will also be
able to help you formulate a business plan and budget as well as possibly
providing a small grant for start up costs.

Starting your own franchise has never been easier and you could even lead
you on the road to becoming a multi franchise where you also recruit others
to join your network.
