Franchise Euphoria

Matt Miller spent the first 9 years of his career as an Air Force pilot, before entering the private sector to work in both the medical device and advertising industries. While a top performer in the corporate world, his long term desire was to be his own boss. A good friend one day mentioned the gum ball machines he and his young daughters owned, and that conversation began a 10 year business quest that has brought Matt's company, School Spirit Vending, to the cutting edge of both the vending and school fundraising industries. Today, School Spirit Vending’s franchising program provides a proven and profitable business system for busy professionals and their families looking to develop secondary income streams, while raising millions of dollars for education at the same time.

Buying any business is risky. Nothing is a guaranteed success. There are some franchises that you need to take a little extra caution with. This doesn't mean that you should avoid these all together just that you need to take a little extra care to make you know exactly what you are getting into.  Getting in early on a franchise definitely has its benefits but you have to be careful. Early on the systems and supports have not been fully tested.  Buying a re-sell can be a cost effective way of getting into a franchise but you need to make sure you really research and find out why they are selling early. Both these situation can be amazing or complete disasters. Luckily with a little extra due diligence on your part can help you make a smart decision. Happy Franchising!
