My top two franchises are #1 Subway- it was rated #1 Global franchising opportunity by Entrepreneur Magazine in 2008. Growth continues to break records which is good. They say they are responsible for Initial franchise fee, Finding locations, Leasehold improvements and equipment, Hiring employees and operating restaurants, Paying 8% royalty to the company and a fee into the advertising fund. The company provides a lot. #2 Heaven’s Best- They were awarded Franchisor of The Year by Franchise Business Review. Net Worth Required $50,000, start up price is low. It is very affordable. Those are the two that I think are the best. They provide either affordable or the best opportunity. Some franchisors do wait for their Franchisers to hit the wall and sell off the franchise collecting for more royalties. Every franchise has their pros and cons. Some franchises are good and actually offer something valuable. Some franchise are bad and want to steal your money. Which leaves you in debt and you have to spend more money for the debt that you are in. That is not what you want. You want to make money so you can evolve your money. It’s your responsibility to sort the bad from the good and make the right choice.

A coffee franchise business can be a great way to own a business you can make plenty of money with. There is an unlimited supply of coffee drinkers out there so you should have the market you need. There are quite a few well known coffee franchise companies out there too. They are so well known that people recognize them both by name or just the logo that they use to advertise it.

With a coffee franchise you do have quite a few benefits. Since there is already an established reputation for that business you won’t need to build one. It is wise to evaluate how well that particular coffee business is doing though so you can get onboard with one that is doing quite well for themselves.

You won’t have to decide what types of equipment to buy or what products to serve to your customers. All of that will be determined for you by the coffee franchise. The goal is to allow customers to enter any store with that name at any location. They will know they can walk in and order the same items and get the same great taste from any of them. Customers love familiarity so it won’t matter if they are a few blocks from home or across the country.

They will also provide you with the necessary training to effectively operate and manage your coffee franchise. This means you can avoid many of those common mistakes that can occur with such a business. Many people feel very confident with this level of training and organization in place for their new business.

Of course it isn’t going to be cheap to invest in a coffee franchise. It can be quite a hefty investment so you need to think about that as well. Not every one is approved to become the owner of one either. Therefore you need to look at what the criteria for owning one is. You may find in order to have such a coffee franchise they want you to relocate to a new area. Are you willing to do so?

Some individuals become frustrated because they aren’t able to create their own coffee drinks or even decorate the way they want to when they go this route. If those are factors that will bother you then a coffee franchise may not be the best type of coffee business for you to take part in.

Another pitfall is that should the coffee franchise experience any negative publicity, you can find yourself involved in it. These days the media attention that surrounds such events is unbelievable. Even if your particular coffee shop isn’t involved the name association can affect your level of sales.

As you can see there are plenty of advantages as well as disadvantages associated with operating a coffee franchise. You will need to explore the opportunities so you can decide if investing in one of them is right for you. It isn’t the right business for everyone but it may be for your particular goals.
