Consider Franchising
Startup small business owners sometimes lack the experience and resources to make a go of it in a competitive business environment. Franchised startups have an edge over other startups because they launch with many resources already in place.

Remember, like any business, a franchise requires commitment and capital. Although the capital requirements vary by franchise, with a little research you should be able to identify a franchise that is capable of meeting both your ownership goals and capital budget.
