Own a Piece of the Action!

McDonald’s today is the largest fast-food chain in the world, but founder Ray Kroc didn’t get his company to where it is all on his own. Instead, Kroc discovered the value of what so many other entrepreneurs are now beginning to take advantage of – franchising.

For those who have the entrepreneurial bug but don’t necessarily want to take the risk of starting from scratch, franchising offers the perfect opportunity. In return for an initial fee and ongoing royalties, when you purchase a franchise you gain access to a company’s trademark, products or services and way of doing business. But, even with a franchise, the road to success can be a bumpy one.

A new resource at http://www.EvanCarmichael.com/Franchises allows you an inside look at what it takes to create a successful franchise. Industry experts offer their advice, lessons learned and best practices for creating and maintaining a thriving franchise.

Just because a formula worked once, doesn’t mean it will automatically work again. Starting a franchise can often be just as hard as starting your own business, but the experts at http://www.EvanCarmichael.com/Franchises are at your 24-hour disposal, answering any questions you may have, including:

1. Is owning a franchise for me?

2. How do I choose the best business to buy?

3. How can I obtain the necessary financing?

4. What’s the difference between franchisees and licensees?

5. How do I write a winning proposal?

6. My proposal was accepted. Now what?

7. What exactly do I get for my money and what will be my additional costs?

8. How much support will I get from the franchisor?

9. How do I increase the traffic in my store?

10. How much control do I have over my own operations?

Buying into a franchise, you can often avoid many of the mistakes start-up entrepreneurs make because there is already a recipe for success. But, it still never hurts to get a little help from your friends.
