Experience in assessing Franchise opportunities

by a searcher from IESE Business School

3 years ago

Hello everyone,

I have come across an opportunity to buy the first two stores of an açai (healthy foods) bar which the owner wants to turn into a franchise, and therefore wants to focus on building the franchise, not operating the stores. I have partnered with the former manager of the two stores and am evaluating the purchase to then push the expansion and growth of the business. Any one here can share learnings of operating franchises?

Doing your homework will uncover the fallacy of lower risk in the franchise sector. As one of the searchers said to me, "why would I want to rent a business when I can own one?"
