Many people dream of owning their own business but are afraid of the risks. Instead of starting a new business, however, one can buy a franchise. A franchise is a license issued by a large, usually well-known, company to a small business owner. Under the license, the owner acquires the right to use the company’s brand name and agrees to sell its products. In return, the franchising company receives a percent of the sales.
A major problem for first-time business owners is finding reliable suppliers of the goods and services they need: equipment, raw materials, maintenance, etc. It is easy to choose the wrong supplier, and doing so can be costly. Buying a franchise eliminates much of this problem. Most franchising companies have already found reliable suppliers, and franchise contracts typically specify which suppliers are to be used. This protects franchise owners from the risk of serious losses.
Another advantage of a franchise is that it can save a new business a lot of money on advertising. Advertising one’s product to potential customers is a crucial factor in a business’s success. A franchise owner, however, sells an already popular and recognized brand and also gets the benefit of sophisticated and expensive advertising paid by the parent company.
Finally, a franchise offers more security than starting an independent (nonfranchise) business. The failure rate for starting independent businesses is very high during the first few years; the failure rate for starting franchises is much lower. Finding one’s own way in today’s competitive business environment is difficult, and buying a franchise allows an inexperienced business owner to use a proven business model.
Recently, there has been a ton of debates as to franchises. More specifically, in regards to the reading passage, the writer puts in forth the idea that buying a franchise is a great opportunity for people, who want to start a business. In the listening passage, the lecturer is quick to point out there are some serious flaws in the writer’s claims. In fact, the professor believes that buying an already existing independent business in better and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading text.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states that buying a franchise eliminates the problems of finding reliable supplies, because the most franchising companies already have those. some professionals in the same field, however, stand in firm opposite to this point of view. In the listening, for example, the lecturer claims that these franchising companies may already have the supplies and services they need, but also force the owners to buy this specific supplies. He goes on to say that this is sometimes more expensive, because the owner can not buy cheaper supplies.
One group of scholars, represented by the writer, think that franchising saves the business a lot of money on advertising. Of course, though, not all experts believe this is accurate. Again, the speaker specifically addresses this point when she explains that the big companies only advertise their brands and not the ones of the franchise owner. For this reason, the business makes very little benefit from the advertising, for which they also have to pay.
Finally the author wraps his arguments by providing that a franchise offers more security. Not surprisingly, the lecturer takes issue with this claim by contending that they might make it less riskier than starting a new business, but not secure. In addition she mentions that buying an already existing independent business is the best opportunity to start a business, which the author not provides in the text.
To sum up, both the writer and professor hold conflict view about the topic. it is clear, that they will have some struggles to find common ground on this issue.
