Without a doubt, franchises are more costly than business opportunities in both the upfront fee and the ongoing royalties. However, in exchange the franchisee receives valuable services such as employee training, promotional benefits, trademark rights, etc. The geographic and operational restrictions placed on franchisees can also be viewed from a value-added perspective. Although your franchise may be limited to a certain geographic area, you will be the exclusive seller of your goods and services within that area – a guarantee that business opportunities cannot offer. Likewise, the operational standards required by many franchises provide the franchise owner with a proven and established system of quality control. You would likely have implemented similar standards on your own. With a franchise, the work has already been done for you. 

 

 

A Franchise Opportunity Provides:  • UFOC disclosure information • Brand recognition • Marketing expertise • Training program • Site selection management • On-going support • Proven processes

A Business Opportunity Provides: • No ongoing royalties • Usually lower investment • Company supplied advertising • Intensive training program • No Territory Restrictions • Freedom to make choices • Proven system of operation

 

 

Franchise operations are among the most successful entrepreneurial ventures, boasting a 95% success rate. The reason for this is quite simple:

When operating a franchise, one is given, by the corporation selling the franchise, a proven business plan to follow, and a set of standard operating procedures to adhere to. The corporation requires the franchisee to maintain a high level of accountability. If certain standards are not met, the corporation can revoke the franchise license, and take back control of the business. It is the business plan and accountability that provide for this high success rate.

However, franchises require a hefty investment to begin, and almost always require a serious time commitment of 50-70 hours per week. For those looking to earn an additional income, or reclaim their time, a franchise simply is not an option. Both the investment and time requirements defeat the purpose.

Home-based business opportunities typically require a significantly smaller financial investment and allow for time flexibility. And, as the term, 'home-based,' denotes, the business is run from the home, rather than a secondary location. Home-based business opportunities also remove the need for and cost of business space, employees and their benefits, equipment, and inventory. Finally, a home-based business provides the owner with excellent tax advantages, whereas the franchise requires the owner to pay more in taxes.

Statistically though, the success rate for most home-based business operations have traditionally been less.

So why, if a home-based business is the better solution for time and financial freedom, aren’t more people investing in these proven systems? Because, most home-based business opportunities lack the two success factors that the franchise possesses.

A proven business plan　Accountability. Couple that with the fact that not everyone is a natural at prospecting and selling, and the home-based business failure rate makes perfect sense.

This Online Business Opportunity has recognized these failure factors, and has begun to address them head on. Imagine having the best of both business models... A home-based business, that requires a realistic and affordable financial investment, one that is flexible with regard to time commitment, and has a solid business plan, born out of 19 years experience in the internet marketing industry, and to top it off, a high demand product.

Compare the high start-up costs of a conventional business enterprise or Franchise, against that of this business

When comparing businesses, you should also take into account:

1. The hours you would be required to put in to the business,
2. Their respective ongoing weekly running costs, and ...
3. The time it would take to fully recoup your initial outlay.

The above randomly chosen businesses may well be very good ones, but you will be very hard pressed to find any other business as immensely profitable as this.
