“I’m not a businessman;
 
I’m a business, man.”
 
—JAY-Z
 
 
A
s business models go, buying a franchise that is based on someone else’s
company is usually a bad idea. The basic buy-our-franchise pitch runs like
this: Raise a quarter of a million dollars by withdrawing your life savings,
borrowing  from  family  members,  and  maxing  out  your  credit  cards.  Pay
most of that money up front to a company that will generously allow you to
work  for  it.  Operate  the  business  precisely  the  way  they  tell  you,  with  no
exceptions allowed. Every decision, from whom you hire to what services
you offer to where you locate your store, is made by the company. They’ll
even  tell  you  what  color  shirt  you  are  required  to  wear  in  “your  own
business.”
If the business succeeds, you’ll make an average of $47,000 a year after
scraping  by  for  three  years  on  the  same  fifty-hour  workweeks  you  could
spend  at  someone  else’s  company  with  a  lot  less  stress.  In  this  winning
scenario, your ultimate success won’t be that you started a business: You’ll
have bought yourself a job.


If  the  business  fails,  which  happens  more  often  than  most  franchise
companies  want  to  admit,  the  company  will  take  back  the  store  from  you
and  resell  it  to  someone  else.  When  they  do  this,  they  won’t  count  your
failure  as  a  store  closure  in  their  statistics.  Thus,  when  you  hear  statistics
that suggest a high percentage of franchise locations remain open, you have
no idea who is operating them and who owes $250,000 that they have no
way to repay.
How does that proposal sound to you? Probably not so great—which is
why  buying  into  someone  else’s  operation  isn’t  usually  the  opportunity  it
may  seem  from  the  outside.  Thankfully,  there’s  an  alternative:  building  a
real  business  of  your  own,  something  that  you  have  ownership  of  and
control over. Buying into someone else’s franchise isn’t usually a good idea,
but figuring out how to leverage your own efforts is almost always worth
careful consideration.
