questions below to gain a better understanding of which opportunities match
your profile.
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.
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.
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.
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.
