If you want to start a business but don’t know where to start, don’t worry–you are not alone. You can be your own boss. It is possible. We can show you how.
More people than ever before are exploring the benefits of business ownership. Sometimes your dream job isn’t what you thought it would be. Sometimes you feel like you need to be in control. It is natural, so why not give it a shot?
You can start today.
Owning your own business vs. employment
Being an owner of your own business gives you the freedom you don’t have when you are an employee. Franchising is an easier way to get your feet wet with your first business.
They want to control your own destiny and build a business has many benefits. You will be able to build something that your children can one day take over. Many entrepreneurs start businesses hoping their children will carry on the torch. That is a safety net that working for someone else has never offered.
The cutbacks going on in various fields of employment are also not motivating. There is less job security, benefits, pensions, and health insurance. Many companies are contracting work only by 1099. There are fewer perks than there ever were before when you seek a life of employment.
Sure, if you work for the city, as a nurse, or something of that nature, those benefits will always be there. In this case, we are talking more about corporate employment.
Nobody ever said starting a business was the safest thing you can do, but the rewards have no ceiling. Your schedule is also much freer. You may be working, but you can do it on your own terms.
Your value as a franchise owner to the brand
Units of a franchise owned by franchisees do better than those opened by corporate. Everyone benefits when you do well. Rather than being on salary, you are directly rewarded by your efforts. This will give you all the motivation you need to make it work.
Freeing up your time
When you franchise, there are systematic routines put in place. You and your staff will learn the right way to run the business. After training is complete (which seems to never end) you can pass control over to a manager.
“Most of the time, an independent business has to be sold if the person running it dies because nobody else knows what to do with it, or they get in and mess it up,” says Jeff Elgin, founder of FranChoice Inc.
Franchoice is a consulting company for consumers seeking to buy a franchise.
“With a franchise, a lot of support could come into play from the franchisor, because it’s in [the franchisor’s own best interest to stay successful, too.”
Making it on your own doesn’t mean making it by yourself.
