Franchising is one of the most effective systems for distribution of goods and services known today. It combines the entrepreneurial drive and ambition of the small businessman with the experience and expertise of a larger company. The result is often a rewarding partnership for both parties.

As a franchise owner, you are given access to years of business experience without trial and error.  You sell a product that has been well accepted in many markets or as a brand name with which people are already familiar.  The operation and control of your business has been established, assisting you in running the business.

In contrast to purchasing an independent business, buying a franchise is an investment not only in your store, but in the franchising company as well.  If the chain expands, your individual business may build greater equity.  Government statistics show the failure rates of franchises are significantly lower than those of individuals starting a new business on their own.
