Franchise Versus Independent Should You Build Your Own Business Or Buy Into A Franchise? By Mark Landsbaum Franchising spans more than 75 industries, with 2,300-plus franchisors selling more than 767,000 individual businesses that employ nearly 10 million people and generate $625 billion revenue a year. Would you like some of that? First, there are some things you should consider. Franchises are not a type of business. Franchises are a means for distributing products and services. Some types of businesses are well-suited to franchising. Others are not. Likewise, some people are well-suited to franchising, while others should opt for going independent. This seminar will help you get a clear-eyed view of both options – franchising and going independent – so you can decide which better matches your personality, preferences, strengths and tolerance for risk.
