In recent times several interests of investing in franchises have evolved. Due to this the franchise industry is incorporating many of the first timers, who are just beginning to learn about the principles and functionalities of franchising. However this is a growing prospect and people are still exploring how things work in the franchise world. Manier times people come across misconceptions. here are some of the myths that flow in the market quite frequently: Franchising means Mcdonald’s: As Mcdonald’s is globally recognised people very often understand franchise similar to opening up another Mcdonald’s. However it is true that Mcdonald’s have provided an adequate example of how franchises work, although franchising is much more than Mcdonald’s. There are multiple options and ventures in the options to indulge in the franchise industry. Prior Industry Experience is necessary: The fact about franchises is that they are designed to run by entrepreneurs and not industry specialists. If we talk about the condition of franchises in the US, it is astounding to know that over 40 million Americans have quit their jobs because they aspire to do something different and to opt for the franchise industry they do not need prior experience but a certain management and entrepreneur mindset. Franchise will run itself and will make you rich overnight: The most exaggerated myth about the franchise industry is that to run a franchise you just need to do the one time investment and then it will accelerate itself. But no franchise does not run themselves, instead it requires a good amount of determination and an approach to smoothen the growth and functionality of the whole business, even if you have franchised a big brand. #franchise #business #investment #entrepreneur #smallbusiness #startup

Starting a Business from Scratch vs. Getting Into a Franchise Both come with a certain level of risk. Are you interested in reinventing the wheel? That is what you are doing when you start from scratch. And here’s the thing, you can still be awarded a franchise that has proven the system with a replicable model and exercise your entrepreneurial spirit. Franchises are like wheels, and they come in all shapes and sizes.  If you become a franchisee in an emerging system (less than 100 units) then you may have some input and a say on some of the elements of the franchise.  In other words, the wheel is already there but you may be able to decide what color the wheel is or the width of the tread or the size of the spokes. Get it? You’re not reinventing anything, but you have a say in things. If you are starting from scratch, then you need to have a business that stands out from the others in that space or has not been introduced to the world yet. That's a high risk! Take it from someone that truly understands the hard work and difficulties associated with starting a business from scratch.  I quickly learned that my franchise competitors had much more sophisticated marketing capabilities, better training systems and a stronger brand presence in the market.  I had to scratch and claw to compete, it was a real street fight. The bottom line is that starting any business is hard work and requires some risk taking. Why not stack the odds in your favor with that being the case?
