Investment Strategy

Have you ever thought about owning your own company without the hassle of starting it from scratch? Being an entrepreneur and buying into a franchise are the best steps to getting you to having a successful business.

Our franchise consultant Adam Goldman can help you find the right franchise for sale and create an investment strategy with the following steps.

1. Set Yourself Personal Goals

Every person has a different goal that they want to achieve when looking for a franchise for sale. First, start by asking yourself: 

What would you like to gain from owning your very own franchise – is it spending more time at home or taking the first step into your entrepreneurial career

Figuring out the answer to such a question helps you determine what franchise investment strategy is a good fit for your personal goal.

2. Startup Financing

How much is the startup capital? – This is the most vital thing you want to know first when you are interested in buying a franchise. 

Having at least $50,000 capital is necessary for buying most franchises for sale on the market today. Therefore, finding a financing source to help you fund the startup cost is highly advised. 

Banks loans are a great resource and will help when investing but be aware that typically around 20% of the franchise cost will be personal funds. By using a franchise consultant, you can determine what franchise in the industry of your choice will best fit your estimated financial investment.

3. What Are You Passionate About And Good At?

Before buying a franchise, it is vital to know what you love and what franchise you’ll be able to thrive in. It will help you understand your skillsets and talents and apply them to the business.

You don’t have to be a great salesperson to have a product franchise, you just have to know how to hire one. Success is dependent on how well you work on the business, not just in the business.

4. How Much Time Needs To Be Invested?

Buying a franchise is different from starting a company from scratch. Since it is still a business, it requires time. You will need to conduct a proper investigation, which needs you to gather the information you need for that franchise you want to buy. From the starting process and moving forward, the time you invested in your business will bring back meaningful rewards in the future.

There are several types of franchises, and each requires a different level of commitment. Speak with your franchise consultant regarding which franchise type best fits your time investment.
