When you own a franchise, you go into business for yourself, but not by yourself.
A franchise provides an established product or service that has already achieved brand recognition, so your business benefits from established customer awareness—you don’t start from scratch.
Owning a franchise greatly increases your chances for success because you are working with a proven business model.
Being part of a franchise network lets your customers know that they can be assured of a certain level of quality and consistency.
As part of a franchise, you receive critical pre-opening support not available to independents:
Expert consulting regarding site selection and building design, construction and decor
Support and advice in obtaining financing
Extensive training for you and your staff
Grand Opening program
Franchises provide extensive ongoing support:

Comprehensive sales and marketing programs
Operating procedures for every aspect of your business
Subject matter experts to help with planning and problem solving
