Is Home Based Franchising for you?

Do you desire Home Business Ownership but cringe at the thought of starting from scratch?

Possibly a Home based Franchise is your answer.

A Franchise is a business in which "... the franchisor, the owner and developer of the franchise system licenses [you] franchisees to use trademarks, service marks, logos, or advertising owned or developed by the franchisor." (International Franchising Association, Franchising basics).

With some franchise programs, the business operates using the Franchisor's brand name only.

Other programs are less restrictive and allow for the usage of both a trade name in addition to the franchisor's brand name.

Common to all franchise programs, the franchisee[ you] is responsible to pay the franchisor, advertising fees, initial fees, service fees, and or royalty fees.

You are responsible for payment whether your business is profitable or not.

Additionally, many franchisor's provide educational programs to franchisees before the inception of the business.

Often times, they've done demographic studies and other studies to ensure that you have greater odds of returning a profit.
