Franchisee Success: Read What Franchisees Have to Say

After making the decision to leave the corporate world, our accountant encouraged us to buy a new franchise in our area. He told us that much of the work and training is provided by the franchisor, thus helping a new franchise owner get started faster. Prior to meeting with our franchise specialist, we began looking on the Internet for franchises available for purchase. This research was very discouraging for us as the financial requirements were far beyond our means--many requiring a liquid cash position of $500,000.

The morning of our meeting with our franchise specialist, we sat in our car in the parking lot not sure if we should even come in for the meeting. We did not want to be embarrassed for not having a half a million dollars to invest in a business. But we came in anyway, and that proved to be the best decision we've made in years. Our consultant showed us that you don't have to be a millionaire to buy a franchise and one is not limited to any certain field of experience. We are very pleased with our decision to buy a window fashions franchise.
