Many people dream of owning their own business but are afraid of the risks. Instead of starting a new business, however, one can buy a franchise. A franchise is a license issued by a large, usually well-known, company to a small business owner. Under the license, the owner acquires the right to use the company’s brand name and agrees to sell its products. In return, the franchising company receives a percent of the sales.
A major problem for first-time business owners is finding reliable suppliers of the goods and services they need: equipment, raw materials, maintenance, etc. It is easy to choose the wrong supplier, and doing so can be costly. Buying a franchise eliminates much of this problem. Most franchising companies have already found reliable suppliers, and franchise contracts typically specify which suppliers are to be used. This protects franchise owners from the risk of serious losses.
Another advantage of a franchise is that it can save a new business a lot of money on advertising. Advertising one’s product to potential customers is a crucial factor in a business’s success. A franchise owner, however, sells an already popu- lar and recognized brand and also gets the benefit of sophisticated and expensive advertising paid by the parent company.
Finally, a franchise offers more security than starting an independent (nonfran- chise) business. The failure rate for starting independent businesses is very high during the first few years; the failure rate for starting franchises is much lower. Finding one’s own way in today’s competitive business environment is difficult, and buying a franchise allows an inexperienced business owner to use a proven busi- ness model.
Both the reading passage and lecture discusses about owning a business. The former argues that instead of starting a new business, buying a franchise is much easier and less risky while later contradicts these points made in the reading.
First of all, the reading passage claims that buying a franchise eliminates the problem of finding reliable suppliers for goods and services. However, the lecture contents that the contracts made between individual owner and franchise force the owner to buy specific products of goods and services. Moreover, the products are overpriced. The same products are available at much cheaper price in the market and the owners are not allowed to buy them.
Secondly, the text asserts that a franchise save a lot of money in advertisement as the advertising expenses are paid by the parent company. However, the lecture argues that this advertisement does not enhance the business of owner as the parent company advertise its own business. Thus, the individual only gets a little benefit from this advertisement.
Finally, the reading passage claims that a franchise offers more security as compare to security in starting an independent business. In addition, the reading states that the failure rate is very high for independent businesses during its initial years. However, the lecture contradicts on this. The lectures states that there is a third option which is to buy an already existing business from the previous owner. According to the studies, this has twice as much as chances of success during the first four years.
