Considering a small retail franchise?

There are plenty of advantages of becoming a franchise owner in small retail. One of the best advantages is that you don't necessarily have the direct experience in that industry sector to succeed.

A franchisor will empower you with all the training and support you need to be successful and therefore if you want a complete career change then this is the oppotunity for you. There are of course, some franchises which will require industry experience, especially if it is one where qualifications are required in order to trade, but this represents the minority. Some franchisors even prefer that you do not have any industry experience.

As a franchise owner you could be looking forward to all these benefits and more:

  • Financially - You will reap the financial rewards for all your hard work instead of lining the pockets of others.
  • Financial freedom - the limits to which is only defined by your own dedication.
  • Personal freedom - you can spend the time that you should with your friends and family.
  • A proven business model and a brand name that is instantly recognisable - Most retail franchises provide a set area in which to operate, so you needn’t worry about direct competition from the same brand.
