The short answer to this question is that it depends. It depends on the model.
For example, are you looking to buy a home-based franchise like this one?
Or are you focused on opening a franchise that requires a location, or in this case, multiple locations?
In this short video, I go over the things you’ll need to do before you open your franchise-any type of franchise.
Important: make sure you add 2-3 months to open your franchise. That’s because I haven’t included the time it takes to find, choose, and research a franchise.
If you have questions after you watch the video, you can use the contact form above to ask them. I’m happy to help where I can.
