If you've done some poking around online, you probably will have noticed a few franchise opportunities promising investments as low as $10,000. A word of caution from Omholt: "There's nothing more expensive than a cheap business. This probably will have a high turnover rate, will be more saturated and competitive, won't provide a lot of support and training, and won't be a business you can resell."
如果你已经做了一些网上戳左右，你可能会注意到一些有希望的特许经营机会低至1万美元的投资。对从Omholt忠告：。“没有什么比一个便宜的业务更加昂贵，这可能会具有较高的周转率，会更饱和，竞争力，将不提供的支持和培训很多，不会有业务，您可以转卖。
What's your exit strategy?
什么是你的退出战略？
This is a commonly neglected question potential franchisees fail to ask themselves, Omholt says. "Be honest about how long your runway is," he says. "Is this something you want to do for five years and flip? Or is this something you intend to pass down to an heir?" Answering this question is important because different franchisors have different restrictions on selling to other franchisors, for instance, and some franchise businesses aren't even scalable in the first place.
“这是一个普遍被忽视的问题，潜在的加盟商不问自己，Omholt说。 “诚实多久你的跑道，”他说。 “这是你想要做的事情为五年，翻转，还是这个样子，你打算传承给继承人？”要回答这个问题很重要，因为对不同的特许加盟商销售给其他例如，不同的限制，有些企业甚至没有专营权摆在首位可扩展性。
How much risk are you willing to assume?
多大的风险你愿意承担？
Once you've reviewed your financials, you can probably get a sense of how much risk you're able to assume, but also take into account your personality: how risk-averse are you? "There are some great, well-established companies with long track records of franchising success, but they aren't exactly on the cutting edge anymore," says Mark Siebert, CEO of the i Fran chise franchise consulting group, based in Homewood, Illinois. "The newer, cutting edge companies are riskier, but they can potentially offer higher returns."
一旦你已经审核了您的财务状况，你也许可以得到一个多大的风险你能承担感，同时也考虑到你的个性：如何规避风险，你好吗？ “有一些伟大的，完善的特许经营的成功与长期跟踪记录的公司，但他们却没有准确地走在时代尖端了，”马克说西伯特，专营权的iFranchise咨询集团霍姆伍德，伊利诺伊州的基础上，首席执行官。 “较新的，尖端的公司风险更大，但他们有可能提供更高的回报。”
How involved can you be?
你可以如何参与？
Some people prefer to be directly involved in the delivery of the business's product or service, but for those who open a franchise on top of working a full-time job, this isn't an option. Think about which days of the week you'd prefer to work. "Some people tell me they'd only like to work weekdays during the day," Elgin says. "That basically eliminates two-thirds of all franchise opportunities."
有些人喜欢直接在该企业的产品或服务有关，但对于那些谁的工作打开一个全职工作顶部的专营权，这是不是一种选择。想想这一周的日子里，你更喜欢的工作。 “有人告诉我，他们只想平日白天上班，”埃尔金说。 “这基本上消除了所有的特许经营机会的两个三分。”
What are you good at?
你擅长什么？
Examine your skill sets, what you've acquired in your previous professional experience, and what you're comfortable with. Are you comfortable with sales and cold calling? Do you like interacting with customers behind the counter of a retail location? Can you manage people? (Many people are used to corporate employees, but in many franchise businesses, you'll have to manage minimum wage employees with high-turnover rates.) Do you like being out in the field working with clients and customers, instead?
检查你的技巧，你已经收购了你以前的专业经验，以及你舒服。你的销售和自荐造访舒服吗？你喜欢与后面的位置计数器的零售客户交流？你能管人？ （许多人都习惯到公司的员工，但在许多特许经营业务，你必须要管理与高周转率最低工资的雇员。）你喜欢在外地出与客户及客户的合作，而不是？
While you may have the relevant skills, you don't have to be an expert in your field, just yet. Take Falvey and air conditioning and heating ducts, for example. "You shouldn't pigeon hole yourself into the industries that were in your corporate universe," Omholt says. "Franchising allows you to reinvent yourself and go into a completely different industry and leave the functional expertise to the franchisor."
虽然你可能有相关的技能，你不必是一个在你的领域，专家还没有。以福尔维空调和暖气管道，例如。 “你不应该进入的行业，鸽子在公司宇宙的洞自己，”Omholt说。 “特许经营可以让你重塑自我，进入一个完全不同的行业和专业知识的功能给特许人。”
How important is status?
重要的是怎样的地位？
If someone asks you what you do, would you be comfortable saying you own a business that cleans the grease out of the commercial hoods in fast food kitchens? "A lot of people say I would never go into that business because they don't want to explain that to friends at cocktail parties," Elgin says. "I actually like disgusting businesses like that. They're often huge moneymakers because they don't have a lot of competition."
如果有人问你你做什么，你会说你自己一个舒适的业务，清理厨房的快餐商业抽油烟机的油脂呢？ “很多人说我永远不会进入该业务走，因为他们不想解释，要在鸡尾酒会上的朋友，”埃尔金说。 “我真的喜欢这样的恶劣的企业。它们往往巨大赢利，因为他们没有很多的竞争。”
