A lot of people agree that franchising is more effective than starting a business from scratch. However, it's not as simple as just buying a franchise and waiting for the money to come. 

Before investing in a franchise, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of all the costs involved in buying and running it. You must know if the ROI would be worth it. Also, choosing the right franchise founder is a critical component before deciding which brand to invest in.
