DISADVANTAGES OF OWNING A FRANCHISE
• Franchises can cost a lot of money and cut down on profits.– Initial capital to buy franchise is high– Often profits you receive as franchisee must be reutrned to franchisor as
royalty fees• Owners of franchises have less freedom to make decisions than other
entrepreneurs.– Franchisees can only offer certain products and services that have already
been decided by franchisor• Franchisees are dependent on the performance of other franchisees in the
chain.– Customers opinions and other franchise reputations follow you around
• The franchisor can terminate the franchise agreement.– If franchisee fails to pay royalty fees, or meet other agreements, the franchise
can be lost
