Like any business decision, the process of franchising is not and should not be taken lightly. There are many decisions that need to be made that could become very costly without the right considerations.
The main questions you must ask yourself when looking to grow your business are:
1) Is franchising the right growth strategy?
2) Is the business franchisable?
These questions can only be answered after reviewing your business and determining if franchising is suitable for your business this process is called the Business Viability Review.
