No. In fact most franchisees have had no experience in the industry that they go into. Franchisors want their business operators to focus on running the business and not performing the labor their concepts require. Franchisees are managers, rather than workers. Franchisors need people who can be effective in areas such as motivating employees, generating sales, and running the day-to-day operations as effectively as possible.

- How much capital do you have to start a business with?
- Will you have partners?
- Do you want to build multiple units?

The most significant benefit to franchising is the reduced level of risk. This comes from the franchise system’s proven method of doing business. Franchising offers individuals the opportunity to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. The franchisor is there to provide support with all the different functions of the business. They have seen the issues that can arise in their business and know how to deal with problems effectively. They provide extensive initial training and support so you’re well prepared to handle whatever comes. They can also provide advertising and marketing support to help build your business.
