Why Investing in a Franchise Is a Better Choice Than Starting a Business | VetCor

If you are certain that you would like to be a business owner but you are not quite sure where to start, you have likely been considering both franchising and starting a business of your own.

While both provide pros and cons that are worth mentioning, when it comes to making the best investment possible, a franchise is typically the better choice.

Why to Invest in a Franchise Over Starting Your Own Business

You will have immediate access to training and support. When you start a business of your very own, there is no one around to tell you how to do things. While this might sound liberating, for many people, it quickly turns into an overwhelming thought. With franchising, you still get all the benefits to being your own boss, but you also have someone there to help you every step of the way. The minute you sign your franchise agreement, you are given access to priceless training and support to help you set your franchise up for success.

You can do the research on your investment. While it is impossible to give franchise owners a solid number for how much they are guaranteed to make every year, you can make a far more informed decision regarding owning a franchise compared to how much you might make as a solo business owner. When you review the Franchise Disclosure Document you will have access to all the financial documents regarding the franchise, and you will also receive the contact information of other franchisees so you can chat with them directly about the potential.

You don’t have to worry about trial and error. Many business ventures turn out to be a work in progress for a lot longer than people realize. Going through the trial and error process is a necessary part of creating a system that works for your brand, but it can be extremely time-consuming and costly—something many people do not have the free time or the capital to take on. When you franchise, however, you are given access to a system where the trial and error has been done for you. Instead of running the risk of losing money or going under, you are able to step into a system that has been proven to work.
