There are a number of reasons that entrepreneurs choose to purchase a franchise instead of opening their own independent business. Some of the main reasons given by entrepreneurs that own francises are:

  • While you are in business for yourself, you aren’t in business by yourself. There is a “corporate” there to assist you, especially with the operations of your business.
  • You get detailed instructions in how to do the operations of the business. If it isn’t a field you are familiar with, this provides a quicker start than learning on your own.
  • There is the power of the existing brand recognition and the ability to rely on some “field of dreams” customers. (If you build it, they will come because they already know and like the brand).
