In today's edition of The Tennessean (February 27, 2011) there is an article Be Your Own Boss which has some good information for those considering investing in a franchise. Every day future entrepreneurs dream of starting their own businesses. Their motivations may include a desire to be one’s own boss, the pride of creating a new venture, the wish to make a career change or the desire to earn more. Rather than starting business concepts from scratch, many new entrepreneurs choose franchising because it can offer features such as name and product recognition, national or regional advertising, purchasing power, established operating procedures, training and assistance with startup. Here is an article I wrote on the same topic A Primer for Those Interested in Purchasing a Franchise which has additional information that will be helpful to anyone considering purchasing a franchise.
