Franchising as an investment opportunity offers great advantages over other systems, this is an attractive alternative to develop a business; However, it will always be necessary to consider the pros and cons, before making a decision to franchise my business or not.

When I evaluate the possibility of franchising my business I have to be willing to assume a greater or lesser risk, that is, I am free to choose how much risk I am willing to accept in the development of my business model under the franchise scheme, and it is precisely this knowledge of the situation, which allows us to make the best decision about whether to expand my business (and under what conditions) or on the contrary wait for the business model to be at a more advanced stage of maturity before starting a project of franchise development.
