Starting vs buying vs franchising

Course description

There are three basic approaches to starting a business: building from scratch, buying an existing business, or becoming a franchisee. In this lesson, you’ll learn the pros and cons of each approach. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. New businesses have a higher failure rate than franchises or buying a business. 

  2. Franchises and existing businesses come with systems and potential customers built-in.

  3. It costs more to buy a business or a franchise license, but they can also become profitable faster.
