SUMMARY:Buying a franchise: What serious business owners need to know before they commit
DESCRIPTION:The second of two free online sessions from the Business Academy at the Department of Business & Trade. \n\nExplore franchise ownership and get a realistic understanding of what you are committing to – financially\, operationally\, and personally. \n\n\nWhat you’ll learn\n\n\nUnderstand how the franchise model works in practice\, including typical fee structures\, ongoing obligations\, and the shared responsibilities between franchisor and franchisee.\nAssess franchise opportunities more objectively\, recognising red flags\, understanding why applications are declined\, and distinguishing strong systems from strong marketing.\nDetermine whether franchise ownership aligns with their goals\, working style\, and expectations\, enabling them to make informed\, commercially grounded decisions before committing.\n\nFor full details please see the Organiser Website link below.
