FRANCHISE
VS. FRESH ALTERNATIVE
THINKING ABOUT
STARTING YOUR
OWN BUSINESS? WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?
There
are hundreds of different businesses
you can consider starting, and
each has its own set of pros and
cons. The biggest roadblock to
starting or buying a business
is that they require a considerable
up-front cash investment. In addition
to the large investment, the time
commitment you must make when
starting a business can ultimately
turn out to be be far greater
than what you have experienced
in any job, and the return is
not necessarily worth the extra
time or the financial risk.
Let's
take a look at some of your options
for starting your own business:
Option
- Buying a Franchise:
You could buy a franchise
such as McDonalds, Burger King,
Wendy’s, Subway, or Dominos
Pizza, but you may find they have
many BARRIERS TO ENTRY.
You will need to make a large upfront
cash investment (average start-up
cost between supplies, location,
etc - can fall between $400,000
to $1 million), and in the end,
what you are really buying yourself
is 90-hour-a-week job. You are going
to be stuck in one location all
the time, and you will have to be
there everyday to oversee the operation.
You are not going to increase your
time freedom.
With a franchise, you are also going
to be required to pay royalty fees
for the life of your business. These
fees are in addition to all of your
operating expenses, and in many
cases, they can prevent you from
being profitable.
The
following shows a few examples of
franchises taken from Entrepreneur.com.
Be sure to note the "net worth"
and "cash liquidity" requirements
which would
prevent the majority of people from
even considering this option:

Option
- Traditional Brick & Mortar
Business:
In almost every case, if
you buy yourself a traditional
business, you are doing nothing
more than buying yourself a job...
only with more headaches. You
assume all responsibility, and
you must be there all the time
to make sure that everything is
running properly. There are numerous
costs associated with operating
a traditional business including
inventory, rent, and of course,
personnel. Administrative tasks
take up a tremendous amount of
time. The success of your business
can be highly dependent on the
state of economy, and you are
also bound to one location. Long
hours trapped in one location
do not give you the freedom to
spend more time with your family
and friends or be able to take
vacations, travel, and live a
life of comfort and privilege.
Costs are also a barrier to entry.
Here are few examples of business
that you can purchase - please
note the limitations:
