Do you have the entire amount required to pay the opening fee?
If not, can you partner with others who do?
Will you be applying for financing? Are you sure you qualify for it?
If the franchise doesn’t make any money in the first few months, how will you support yourself?
If it doesn’t work out, can you afford to lose the investment?
Are you qualified? Have you ever owned a business? Do you know how to manage large sums of money? Will you hire an accountant?
Is there a demand for the type of business you want to open?
Have you investigated the company? Do you know how much you can expect to make in a year? How much will your expenses amount to? Can you live with the difference?
Have you consulted with a lawyer?
Finally, inform yourself carefully before making a final decision. If you do decide to invest, do it once you are fully aware of what to expect.
