<p class="ListParagraph"><span lang="EN-US">If you have 15 or more Yeses then you are exactly the kind of person franchisors are looking for. You will be a hard worker; a self-starter, and will not be under any illusions that it will take a while to get your business up and running.

<p class="ListParagraph"><span lang="EN-US">If you are about 50/50 Yeses and Nos – then you will need to have a good look at your work ethic and where you answered No, before you decide exactly why you want to buy a franchise. Some people think than buying a franchise is like buying a job. Sadly it isn’t. Ask anyone in business and they will tell you, that for the first couple of years, running your own business will be harder than you ever thought possible. But after a couple of years of hard slog, you should be reaping benefits you could never achieve in a job.</span></p>
<p class="ListParagraph"><span lang="EN-US">If you have answered mostly No – then at this stage of your life franchising probably isn’t for you. Keep asking yourself – ‘Why do I want to buy a franchise?”. It doesn’t mean give up the idea altogether, it just means, talk to business advisors and current franchisees. Do more exploration. Better to save yourself a lot of grief before you make the wrong decision, if franchising really isn’t for you.</span></p>
