BE THE BOSS自己當老闆3


Buy an existing business
Whether you want an independent company or just a franchise, there are several advantages to buying an existing business. For starters, you get a business model that has a proven capacity to make money. You also get a brand name and a pool of existing customers. If you buy a franchise, you should also receive training in how to run the business.
Be wary, though. The cost of buying an existing business can be high, especially if the business is profitable.
You should also be aware that past success is not necessarily a good indication of long-term growth potential. If buying a franchise, do some thorough research to make sure you’re getting the franchise that is right for you. No matter which entrepreneurial strategy you choose, experts agree that research and planning play an influential role in your success. A good understanding of your business and a sound business plan will greatly improve your chances of success. Work hard, be creative, and have fun!
