Franchise Secrets Podcast To Franchise Or Not To Franchise: The Good And The Bad of Franchising With Joe Attia
Opening a franchise is an opportunity to start and run your own business without building a brand from scratch. However, it’s essential to understand what’s involved before taking advantage of this rewarding option for starting a business.
Franchising is a good way to find business success. But it is not a magic pill. You have to consider a lot of different factors before jumping into a franchise, like how to choose a brand, how to determine enterprise value, what questions you must ask from the founders, and so on.
