When you buy into a franchise, you don't really buy yourself much freedom. Although many people enjoy the fact that the franchise business pretty much takes care of everything for them, some people want to have a little more freedom when it comes to their business. With a franchise, you don't get very much freedom. As a business owner, you are basically forced to become a part of the very specific rules that they set out for you in the beginning.
Unlike an independent business, you must make royalty payments every year to the starting franchise headquarters. These payments cover costs such as the operations and the advertising that they do for you yearly. Although some franchises do this procedure quite differently than others, there is no wonder that they ask for these small payments every year. The franchise headquarters do a lot for the franchises throughout the year and so they need some money in order to accomplish those goals.
When you start up a franchise, there is a lot of money that you have to pay up front. Franchises require that you do things in a very certain way, so that means that you have to buy certain things right away in order to be a part of that franchise. These things include all of the building, the supplies and the decorations that go along with your specific franchise. With an independent business, you can choose everything yourself which means that you can choose to go with cheaper things if the cost gets too high.
Although franchises certainly have a higher success rate than those of independent businesses, franchises cannot necessarily guarantee that you will succeed. Certain places in the country and certain demographics might not enjoy the franchise as much as other ones do. Because of this, you might still end up with a business that does not succeed and you might get frustrated at the franchise corporate because they broke the promise that you would be successful.
