Franchises take some of the risks out of business with proven methods
A franchise will have a system and a well-recognised name. The business method, however, needs to be abided by. The downsize to all buying into a franchise is the formula is often non-negotiable; franchise fees can represent between 2.5 to 10% of turnover. The other restricting factor is the limitations of being confined to a territory area. Like every business opportunity, the franchise concept has its Pros and cons.
Over the years, however, many of our clients have done well in business by buying into a franchise. As franchise accountants, we understand the traps that some franchisees may find themselves in.
Many different types of franchises are available, but some famous ones include MC Donalds, Jims, and other retail groups. Some require significant capital outlays to establish and long hours. Whatever you want to do, do your homework and understand the opportunities, risks, and obligations. There is a lot of support and information to digest when considering your investment decision. We refer you to the ACCC, which has released a great guide to get you started https://www.accc.gov.au/business/industry-codes
