Pembroke Pines, FL — More and more people are going into business for themselves; many are choosing to buy a franchise. Rick Bisio, known as the Educated Franchisee, has bought and sold many businesses, including franchises. In addition, he has educated thousands of entrepreneurs on how to choose a franchise that is right for them.
Rick recently spoke at a meeting for young entrepreneurs who are considering the franchise business. Rick discussed how to research a franchise and how to get sound advice as he explained, “If you are serious about becoming a franchise owner, you should look for advice from business professionals who are experienced in franchising in the industry you are considering; better yet, in the same franchise you are looking at. Franchisees are a tremendous resource. Other sources are accountants with franchise experience or lawyers who specialize in franchising.â€
Rick went on to discuss where not to get advice. “Far too often, potential franchisees get so excited about the idea of owning a business that they will talk to anyone who will listen, including drinking buddies or older relatives, like their Great Aunt Edna. Many people have your best interests in mind, but well-meaning advice from people who have never owned a business or who have no franchise experience can be disorienting.â€
