Got a franchise offer, entry fee is high but the brand is known — what's the risk compared to starting my own business?
I've been through this gotta say: buying a franchise depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.
Another perspective: maybe the core issue with buying a franchise is something else. Think about it like this...

Great work. Mistakes made on the buying a franchise side are usually reversible but expensive.

I think differently. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
there is something to watch out for.. then a small market isnt bad; working cheaply in a small market is.
taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

Let me share my experience. Everyone rushing into buying a franchise gets stuck at the same point.
