Buying a franchise
Buying a franchise allows you to set up your own business without starting from scratch. You use a tried and tested formula, and benefit from the experience and support of the franchisor (the company offering the franchise).
Buying a franchise can have both advantages and disadvantages. Careful evaluation of the franchise opportunity and its costs is vital.
