This is Money

Franchising is not a short-cut to riches and fortune. It takes hard work, dedication and commitment to make a success of it – just as it does with any business idea.

The advantage that you have in franchising is that you are leveraging the brand of a bigger organisation and benefiting from the input that they can give you – in the form of design, advertising, marketing, sales advice and training.

Many companies that operate as franchises belong to the British Franchise Association. This is an accreditation body that makes sure potential franchisors (the companies) follow a set of guidelines.
