Where are you going to open this business?\nYour location is extremly important.\nTake a close look at Franchising fees.  Compare these fees\nto others like Cold Stone Creamery, and Maggie Moos.\nDo you need the franchise?  What kind of training do they provide?\n\nThe number one rated franchise for years is Subway.  \nMaybe you would rather serve ice cream than eat fresh but look at all of your options.\n\nI find that dessert franchises tend to only last around 3-5 years before the next dessert trend comes along.  Frozen yogurt is on its way out. (My Opinion)

It's easy.\nYou sell a part of your business to investors.\n\nLet's say your chicken recipe tastes great and everybody likes it but you don't have $100,000.00 to open your own restaurant.\nYou talk to your neighbours, to your friends, to your mother and you sell 100 shares of your new restaurant for $1000.00 each.\nYour mother buys 50 shares and you invest all your savings of $25,000.00 and 25 others invest for a total of 100 shares.\nYou now have 27 investors (Including yourself)\n\nYou open your new Restaurant it's called Kentucky Fried Chicken and everybody loves it.\n\nAfter a while you realize you need to open another location and you now need another $100,000.00 but so far the profits are just $50,000.00 and not everybody wants to invest in your new location because it may not work like the first one. On the other hand, neighbours that did not wanted to invest in your first location now they want to make a lot of money too with your recipe and they want to invest in your Chain.\nYou decide to offer 200 shares this time but at $2,000 each.\nThis raises $400,000.00 (Enough for 4 new locations)\nHowever, after your ad on the newspaper you get over 800 investors interested in your new Kentucky Fried Chicken Chain.\nThat's when the price of your shares starts to go up.\nThere is demand but not enough shares for everybody.\nSome investors decide to BUY shares from the original investors for $4000.00 and your mother and yourself decide to keep all your shares.\nIf your business is making money everybody wants a piece of it and the price goes up. If nobody wants your business the price goes down.\n\nThat's pretty much how the stock market works. \nSome people are selling and some people are buying. If they buy the price goes up if they sell the price goes down.\nRemember, the number of shares are always the same and limited. (Unless the company decides to sell more shares, which is very rare)\nIf the number of sellers were the same as the number of buyers the stock price would be the same.\n\nNow Kentucky Fried Chicken has millions of shareholders.\n\nI hope this helps. \nIf you want to know more. Drop me a line.

Hence you are just making calls from your home or recieving calls to sell products.\nOr if you are producing something on a small scale try selling that in your local market by advertising.\nThe products which u could sell from home which can also be produced by u could be cookies, decorative pieces, chocolates, snacks, anything which u can make and for which you do not require large resources.

There IS no typical way, it's negotiated depending on your bargaining position vs. the seller's, which (since the seller won't be helping on operations) will be driven by how much the seller has into the business vs. what you bring to the table.  Seller wants out of operations so one big thing you bring to the table is your willingness to take over operations -- use this to ask for over 2/3 of the profits.  But seller may not agree to this if s/he has personally guaranteed restaurant obligations or has put a lot of money into it.\n\nOn how much typically gets put in, that will depend on what kind of restaurant it is and where it's located.  Here's some more info you need to make a rational decision....\n\nAny franchisor has to give a franchise circular (generally known as a UFOC, i.e., uniform franchise offering circular) to the franchisee.  Get a copy of that from the seller.  Get copies of all financials for the past 3-5 years and interim financials for 2006 (Jan and Feb 2006).  The financials will help answer this question, but ask how much money the seller has personally put into the franchise since starting it.  Also ask whether s/he has personally guaranteed any loans, leases or other restaurant liabilities, and whether you'll be expected to do the same.  Be extremely careful/skeptical if you're expected to personally guaranty anything because often times a seller will want the buyer to do this so the seller can get off personal guarantees, leaving buyer holding the bag.  Ask if the restaurant is in default on any liabilities.  Ask if there are any outstanding lawsuits against the restaurant.  \n\nYou need a lawyer (and maybe also a CPA) to help you -- no way you should proceed without one, you could really get burned.  I'd contact a corporate lawyer in your area who has experience with franchise purchases.  Generally speaking, you'd be looking at someone from a smaller firm since big firms charge a lot.  Good luck.

You can pull it off (maybe), but an enourmous amount of legwork will be required.  You should identify a successful, but currently retired, restaurant owner (better yet, an owner of several successful restaurants), and pitch your business plan to him/her.  If your pitch is declined, find another one.  Repeat until you get funded (or until you are ready to give up).

1. Starting Your Own Business. \n\nStarting an independent business of your own offers several advantages. You are free from contractual obligations required from franchisees, and from any precedents established by the previous business owner. You are able to start on a fresh, clean slate with total control on how the business is shaped and managed. You are free to offer a pioneering and proprietary product that could help you dominate your market. You can start with a bang, or at a slower pace, depending on your resources and entrepreneurial goals. There is no required upfront investment that you must raise; except for the level that you think your business requires to be successfully launched. You can choose the location you want, determine the products and service that you market, and decide whether you need employees or not.\n\nThe downside of starting a business from scratch could also be numerous. A new business entails greater risk than buying an established business or franchise. You need to determine whether a need exists for your products or service; and if it does, work to create awareness and branding. The start-up process also necessitates you to do the groundwork process by yourself - from business licenses and permits, establishing relations with suppliers, and establishing a customer base to support operations. Many new start-up businesses, particularly home businesses, find it hard to secure financing given the lack of operating histories and inexperience of the people involved.\n\nA new business will require a longer period of time to show profits, if at all. Entrepreneurs who decide on venturing on their own must be willing to dedicate considerable time and energy to establishing and nurturing the business.\n\n2. Franchising. \n\nFranchising incorporates the features of both a start-up and an existing operation. The franchise is the right to sell a product or service. When you purchase a franchise you are basically paying for the right to market an already established product or service owned by somebody else (the franchisor). Under your franchise agreement, you (the franchisee) are expected to market the product/service successfully.\n\nThis alternative route to business ownership has some distinct advantages. Risk is minimized, since a well-established franchise has a proven business method with established products or services. Franchises like McDonald's already has well-known name that could easily bring customers to the business and provide a competitive advantage for the franchisee.\n\nMany franchise organizations also provide extensive assistance in terms of marketing, advertising, even managerial support. Oftentimes, management training and follow-up assistance are provided. In many instances, In addition, you can realize cost savings on inventory items, supplies and equipment due to bulk purchase orders made by the franchisor, which in turn is passed on to franchisees. Some franchisors also assist the franchisee in securing financing, while some provide the funding themselves. Franchisees find it easier to convince banks and other lenders to provide loans because franchises are less risky than start-up businesses. Support can also be given in finding the right location, while some provide the layout, display, facilities and business techniques that have already proven successful in previous operations.\n\nFranchising could present problems to the business owner. At the onset, the high franchise fees required to be paid to the franchisor at the start of the franchise agreement may discourage any prospective business owners. Front fees can range from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the franchise. While some franchisors may require high initial fees, the trade-off may be poor support functions once the operations begin.\n\nIn addition to the upfront fees, royalty fees are also required on a monthly basis. The royalty fees are monthly payments based on a cert
