With the current economic climate more people are turning to self employment as a means of earning a living, many people look at buying a franchise as a way into self employment. In recent years the number of businesses looking to expand by the franchise route has grown considerably and therefore there is a huge choice of different franchises to consider for the potential franchisee. Buying a franchise does have advantages over other self employment options and these are considered below:-

- when buying a franchise you are buying a tried and tested business model, one which has been rolled out in many geographical areas of the country, so you have evidence that the model is successful.

- the franchisor will provide a great deal of help, especially through the start up phase of the business (most businesses fail in the first eighteen months so help at this stage can be crucial). This help may be financial, help with equipment, a local advertising campaign or just simply the franchisor acting as a mentor to the new franchisee.

- the franchisee will benefit from the bulk buying power of the whole organisation, so materials will be cheaper than if purchased by a stand alone business.

- the franchisee will benefit from the reputation of the brand and from any national marketing campaigns which are run.

- the internal systems and methods will have been long established so there will be a defined way of doing things, therefore the franchisee need not have to spend time developing such systems and is free to spend more time developing the business.

- there may well be a policy within the organisation were good practice is communicated between the franchisees, this has the effect of each franchisee taking the best bits from others performance to improve their own business.

The list above is not exhaustive and the advantages of franchises should be considered along with the disadvantages in order to make an informed decision on whether to buy a franchise.
