When I started looking for a business I liked the idea of a franchise 

 

I could see the sense of buying a ready built business rather than building one from scratch 

 

“Buy or Build” as the saying goes. 

 

But the more I looked at various Franchise opportunities the less appealing they looked

 

There was the cost for one thing  -  anything from $10k to over $1million (MacDonalds) 

 

The average franchise investment is $50K 

 

Way over the budget I had at the time.

 

But there were other things that put me off. 

 

There’s a lot of financial stuff to wade through and usually some pretty binding contacts involved. They are hard to get into and out of in other words.

 

Also with a franchise you are tied to a set product range and usually a strict territory - a successful franchise will have lots of franchisees after all and they’ll be your competition too

 

When I heard Stuart Ross talking about his first business disaster (a franchise) in one of the SFM free videos my mind was made up.

 

I decided that an Online Affiliate Business was a much better bet 

 

I’ve recored a video explaining why in more detail if you’re interested -
