What suits one person may not be the right fit for you. We have a few simple suggestions that can make a big difference when it comes to making your franchising decision.

Step 1 – Focus on something you enjoy doing. Finding emotional satisfaction, feeling comfortable and being able to speak confidently about a brand you believe in are good starting points.

Step 2 – Examine how it fits with your lifestyle. Many retail businesses involve long hours so it’s important to consider how it will affect any personal commitments and preferences before making the decision.

Step 3 – Will you be able to work there? Think about your strengths and weaknesses – being practical about what you are capable of doing or not is vital. Can’t stand handling meat? Then maybe a burger franchise isn’t for you!
