How do I find the right franchise for me?

It helps to have a passion, talent or skills in the industry you wish to join. Many franchises have an in-house training program to teach the skills needed, but no one can teach you the drive to succeed.

Although you may be excited about a particular franchise opportunity, don’t let emotion drive your business decisions, keep a cool head! You’ll need to consider your expectations, if you want to work fewer hours than as an employee, remember you will need to factor in the admin required to run a business. Do you want to work weekends? Do you need a business that delivers profits immediately, or are you willing to build it up gradually? If you are planning to go into business with your spouse, think carefully about the roles each of you will have and where the boundaries between work and home will lie.
