I also have a question: is a franchise really about a ready-made business or more of an illusion of security? I don’t really understand this, but it always seemed that a franchise is almost like a job for hire, only you also pay money for it. You are given a brand, yes, but doesn’t this only give a sense of stability? Plus, I’ve heard stories when franchise owners complained that they had to buy goods only from certain suppliers or follow some strange rules that are not always beneficial. Perhaps these are just bad examples, but such moments make me wary. It would be interesting to know real examples when a franchise really helped launch a successful business.
