Do you appreciate a set system for operation?

Franchises have well-developed processes, policies, and procedures. Their systems have been proven to work and are one of the main reasons why you should consider these models. With proven business models in place, the overall management systems already developed, and the group advertising handled, you step into a working operation. This gives you security and helps to reduce risk, but if you’re not one to follow policies and procedures, you might not be the best fit for this model. Rather consider one of the independent opportunities. If you appreciate the organisation and reduced risk that comes with having a working system and set procedures in place, then you’ll appreciate this operation model.

Do you have family support?

Your immediate household members must support your vision. Discuss your options with them and be clear about the investment of time, resources and money required. If they’re on board with your decision to become a business owner and appreciative of the responsibilities associated with the role, you’re one step closer to finding the right venture.

Which industries attract your interest?

Nothing can be more frustrating than having to operate a venture in an industry that doesn’t interest you. If you’re not passionate about what you do, then all the money in the world will not motivate your interest. If you lose interest, then everything in the venture is at risk of failing. List your skills, experience, qualifications, interests, and passions. Look for a franchise for sale in an industry with which you can associate.

Are you looking for a full-time or part-time operation?

Some ventures are perfect for driving passive income. These require less time to operate than others. Many ventures can be operated without direct owner involvement, whilst others require a hands-on approach. Determine your management style, the time you have available to spend in daily operations, and whether or not the venture will be your main income.

Do you understand the requirements for the particular type of franchise business for sale?

Operating a liquor store means you must have a valid liquor license. It takes time to apply for and have it approved. A second-hand store operation entails having a second-hand trader licence. Find out from the broker which permits, licenses and requirements must be met for the particular type of venture.
