Franchises are expensive. Franchises are just for fast food and retail. Franchise owners aren’t really business owners. You can’t be creative if you own a franchise. Anyone can buy a franchise if they have the money to invest. By Don Clayton

Franchises are expensive. Franchises are just for fast food and retail. Franchise owners aren’t really business owners. You can’t be creative if you own a franchise. Anyone can buy a franchise if they have the money to invest.

Are these statements true, or myths?

Julie Goldberg, a FranServe certified franchise consultant (CFC) recently was quoted as saying: “Franchising can open up exciting possibilities for would-be business owners looking to invest. Taking time to debunk the myths and evaluate the opportunities available with an open mind could reap great rewards.”

But how do you go about debunking the myths and uncovering the actual truths? This is where working with highly skilled franchise consultants can help individual investors make wise choices throughout their franchise journey.

There are so many ways certified franchise consultants can help individuals understand the value of franchising. And no, franchising isn’t for everyone. In fact, franchises are awarded, not sold. Therefore, not everyone can qualify even if they have the money to invest.

Lastly, perhaps franchise consulting could be in your future. It’s true, franchise consulting is a flexible work-from-home business. For many, it’s the perfect choice where they can change lives and change generations all without the restrictions of a territory! Perhaps franchise consulting is for you.
