Entrepreneurs – Do It Yourself Or Buy A Franchise?
You’ve wanted to go into business for a long time. You know what you want to sell and you know who to. The last big decision you have to make is – do I go it alone or do I buy a franchise?
Is it Ethical for a Franchiser to Sell his Concept as a Franchise?
From a practical point of view, a franchiser who has found success selling the services and products of franchising outlets for public consumption, has a pretty rewarding business concept which is potentially profitable if sold. However, this is not applicable in all cases and it’s especially risky to assume so if you’re a franchise buyer.

Getting the Best Out of Your Franchise Agreement
You’re at that crucial point which will start your franchising career, that moment when you put your signature down on the dotted line of the franchise agreement. Signing isn’t as easy at it sounds, though. Reading the terms and clauses in the agreement may send you into a whirlwind of second thoughts. By the time you actually get to the dotted line at the bottom of the contract, you’ll be wondering what you’re getting yourself into.

What support should you get for your franchise
One of the most enticing reasons to buy into a franchise is the support the franchiser is able to offer. But just like any other industry, differences exist between organizations, and learning what to look for when shopping for a franchiser will be invaluable. Good franchise organizations offer a wide range of support, while weak ones do not. Whether it’s offering new buyers lengthy and detailed training or having access to franchisee owner organizations, finding a good support structure is a good sign the franchise is doing well. Here is a list of a few things you can look for when trying to determine if the franchise you’re interested in is committed to supporting new buyers.

So you’ve taken all the appropriate steps; you’ve researched, asked questions, found out about the competition, scouted locations and lined everything up. Now it’s time to sit down and sign the franchise agreement. But before you do, there are several things you need to know. The franchise agreement will be the bedrock of your business, and success (or failure) may lie somewhere inside all those conditions and terms. A smart franchisee will read the franchise agreement very carefully, making sure they understand everything within it. Here are some of the most commonly misunderstood or potential problematic areas you need to be aware of:

FRANCHISE NETWORKING SESSIONS : LEARN AND INTERACT WITH SUCCESSFUL FRANCHISERS.
We had a very interesting franchise networking meet last evening at the Catholic Club organized by the Franchising Association of India. Having reached out to over 200 franchisers from Bangalore for this Evening, i think that these meets are a great way for companies exploring franchising / young franchisors on the one hand and for mature franchisors on the other.
