Building your own business from scratch can be very stressful, especially if you do not have any idea how to do it. You have to handle every aspect of the business: sales, marketing, hiring, training, operations, customer service, administrative, legal, technical, etc.
You will also have to define your business concept, product, target market, policies and procedures, and determine your capital, cash flow, location, promotional strategy, and so on, usually by trial and error.
If you want to avoid the hassle and cost of making more mistakes than necessary, buying a franchise may be a better option for you to start your own business. It’s like buying a cake mix — the ingredients and their proportions have already been tried and tested, so you minimize the error in measuring and mixing.
