5. ESSAY:
1. Does franchising hard to manage?
Running your own franchise is still hard work, and there are drawbacks to
opening a business that requires operating by someone else's rules.
2. If you are a businessman/businesswoman what Philippine Franchise
would you start? Explain.
I franchise Jollibee or Mcdonalds, because the demand of both fastfoods
are stagnant or high. It may cost higher than other franchise, but the profit
can easily redeem after sometimes since the brand has built its own to
the market.
3. Will you buy a franchise with low franchising fee or not?
Yes, low franchising fee is a good opportunity to invest on. There are
franchises that are high cost. So, why not to take that opportunity to start
a business.
4. What are the disadvantages of Franchisee?
While a franchise allows the franchisee to be their own boss, they’re not
entirely in control of their business, nor can they make decisions without
taking into account the opinion of the franchisor.
For most franchisees, the most frustrating disadvantage that they face is
that they must follow the restrictions laid out in the franchise agreement.
The franchisor can exert a degree of control over the majority of the
franchise business and decisions made by the franchisee.
5. Will you start your own business or own a franchise?
Franchises have a higher rate of success than start-up
businesses.It may cost less to buy a franchise than start your own
business of the same type. Franchises often have an established
reputation and image, proven management and work practices, access to
national advertising and ongoing support.
