Am I ready to start
a business franchise?

There are four key decisions you should take into consideration in your final analysis:

Personal

• Do I really want to run my own business?
• Is franchising the right self-employment model for me?
• Is this the right step for my family at this time?
• Does this franchise opportunity actually address the career aspirations I have?
• Will this opportunity give me the sort of lifestyle I want?

Commercial

• Is this a commercially viable business opportunity?
• Will I enjoy running this franchise?
• Am I confident that the target market for this business is sustainable in the long term?
• Will I be working with people I like?
• Am I confident that I will get the support and training I need to make the business work?

Financial

• Can I afford to buy the franchise?
• Can I afford to support my family until my business begins generating income?
• Is my business plan realistic?
• Are the banks prepared to lend me what I need?
• If the terms of my borrowing change, will I still be able to afford the loan?
• Have I seen evidence that this opportunity can realistically achieve my income needs/aspirations?

Legal

• Am I satisfied that the franchise agreement is fair and reasonable?
