tpo 36 buying a franchise
The material discusses the benefits of buying a franchise over starting a new independent business. While the reading looks at the topic from one perspective, the listening challenges certain points outlined in the reading passage.
Firstly, the reading details specific points regarding this topic, namely most franchising companies have specific suppliers. Next, owners of a franchise could save money on advertising. Finally, starting a franchise has more chance of success than an independent business.
Conversely, the lecture challenges the points, one specific contradiction is, the franchising company forces the owner to buy goods and services from specific suppliers, which are overpriced; however, there are considerable suppliers that have the same good quality and cheaper, the owner does not allow to buy them. In addition to that, the owner of a franchise will pay 6% of his subtotal sales to the company; moreover, the company does not do these advertisements to his business, because there are lots of other stores carry the company brand in other places. on the other hand, the owner of an independent business costs half of this money while advertising to his own business. One final point, buying a franchise is less risky; however, there is another third option, which is buying an old ready existing independent business, and it has two times as much chance of success as a franchise.
