Franchising

It depends on a multitude of factors, really. Location, cost, and the realities of the current economic situation all have a great bearing on which franchises are the best to buy. It's also extremely important that you buy a franchise that's perfectly suited to your own abilities and passions.

I know that there are some information websites, specializing in this subject, that have a number of good franchise opportunities across a wide range of business. Whether you're interested in automotive or food franchises or part-time or home-based franchises, in all likelihood, you might find a business that interests you if you do your research thoroughly and make comparisons.

It is when you run a business on behalf of another company, using their name. Restaurant chains like McDonald's are often run on a franchise basis. McDonald's want to have restaurants in as many places as possible so they advertise for people to run them for them. Those running the franchise have to run them to a certain standard, so that all similar premises work in the same ways and to the same standards. If you go into any McDonald's anywhere, they are all mostly the same.

The best thing about it is that you get the benefit of an already established brand recognition, and ongoing support from your Franchisor so that success becomes inevitable for you as opposed to running a privately owned restaurant as a one man operation taking all of the responsibilities, and starting from scratch.

Franchising is the practice of using another firm's successful business model. For the franchisor, the franchise is an alternative to building 'chain stores' to distribute goods that avoids the investments and liability of a chain.

1. Generally franchisors are selling a proven business model

2. Independent businesses often lack skills and support structures that franchisors can supplement and provide

3. Franchisors screen potential applicants so those who do franchise are more qualified/screened than those who start their own business

4. Franchisors can offer group discounts, lowering the cost base for franchisees

Empirical evidence suggests that the competencies for entrepreneurial success are many and varied: however, overall, there are probably 10 that appear most regularly:

10 COMPETENCIES FOR ENTREPRENEURIAL SUCCESS:

1. Integrity - the entrepreneur has a clear sense of values and beliefs that underpin the creative and business decisions that they make; and that influence the actions they take, particularly when in difficult or challenging circumstances

2. Conceptual Thinking - the entrepreneur is prepared to use fresh approaches; comes up with crazy ideas that may just work, leading to radical change or significant improvements; and takes time to listen to new ideas without pre-judgement

3. Risk taking - the entrepreneur understands that risk taking means trying something new, and possibly better, in the sense of stretching beyond what has been done in the past; and that the constant challenge is to learn how to assess choices responsibly, weighing the possible outcomes against his/her values and responsibilities

4. Networking - the entrepreneur understands that networking is a key business activity which can provide access to information, expertise, collaboration and sales; and that careful planning and preparation helps achieve desired results

6. Commercial Aptitude - the entrepreneur keeps up to date with developments in the sector; seeks out best practice; and identifies and seizes opportunities that are not obvious to others

7. Decisiveness - the entrepreneur resolves issues as they arise; does not get bogged down in analysis during decision making; and responds flexibly to deal with changing priorities

8. Optimism - the entrepreneur persists in pursuing goals despite obstacles and setbacks; operates from hope of success rather than from fear of failure; and sees setbacks as due to manageable circumstance rather than a personal flaw

10. People Focus - the entrepreneur creates common purpose with colleagues through shared vision and values; walks the talk; sees and values the best in others; builds the total capability of the immediate and wider team; and always considers the principles of inclusiveness in planning and dealing with others
