A Bad Economy Equals A Great Franchise Opportunity Says Franchise Consultant

PRLog.Org:

Rick Bisio, author of the book, The Educated Franchisee, was recently interviewed. When asked if buying a franchise during difficult economic times was a good idea or a bad risk, he said, “History has shown that strong performers tend to take advantage of downturns in the economy, and buying a franchise is one of the top ways to come out a winner.”

Rick went on to explain the advantages of buying a franchise as opposed to starting a new business. “When you join a proven franchise opportunity you are handed a tested, proven business model, up-front training, tools for success including computer programs and equipment, sales materials, employee manuals, job descriptions and more. The franchisor will offer extensive on-going support for a rapid start-up.”

According to Bisio, these are just a few of the factors that make franchise ownership much easier than starting a business from scratch. Rick said, “Bankers know this, so even in a weak economy, they are more willing to offer loans for franchise purchases.”
