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 mode.
Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge specific points made in the reading passage
In lecture, teacher beleives that buying a franchise is not the best option to own a busness. Teacher tells students about a study on the basis of which she thinks franchise is not a good option to own a business.
Franchise contracts typically specify which suppliers are to be used, franchise forces the people who buys franchise to buy goods and services they are alredy using. Franchise holder can only buy from Goods and services suppliers that are mentioned in contract, even if there are other resources that are equivalent in quantity and much cheaper. They are not allowed to buy these goods and services. So, a person starting his own business can found cheaper supplier if he has good network and with time.
Furthermore, Franchise companuy recevies 6 percent of sales. If a person spent even half of that money on advertising it will be much more beneficial for his business. Moreover, Advertising done by franchise company is of very little benefit to the franchise holder as it advertises company brands and products rather than a particular franchise. It does not advertise specific business location.
While, franchise is less risky than a new business, but there is a third option that is much more risk free. That option is buying an already existing business from someone who wishes to sell his business. Buying an already existing business is two times likey to operate than t buy a new business.
