Looking for a genuine business opportunity that will suit your skills, fit your budget and give a realistic chance of earning a living (let alone make you rich) is a mammoth task and one that you should be taken slowly and carefully.



Top Ten Tips.



1) Take professional advice

2) Pick an industry that is 'on the up'.

3) Ignore any opportunity that asks for money 'to tell you more'.

4) Pick a business that suits your skills or a subject that you love.

5) Research thoroughly BEFORE parting with any cash.

6) Question who is really going to make the money - you or the person selling you the 'opportunity'.

7) Don't borrow more than you can afford to lose.

8) If you are buying an existing business - ask an accountantto analyse the accounts - don't rely on your own intuition to save money (unlsess you are an accountant!).

9) Don't believe everything you are told - it may be true but is always worth double checking!

10) Anything that sounds 'too good to be true' will be!



Buy a business?



Buying an existing business is a good way to leapfrog much of the set up process. Although the cost of purchase may be higher than if you started from scratch, you do gain a trading concern from day one and should be able get a realistic idea of the potential turnover/profits from the audited accounts.

Buy a franchise?



Franchising is the granting of a license by one person (the franchisor) to another (the franchisee), which entitles the franchisee to trade under the trade mark/trade name of the franchisor. The franchisor will receive an initial fee from the franchisee, payable at the outset, together with on-going management service fees - usually based on a percentage of annual turnover. In return, the franchisor has an obligation to support the franchise network, notably with training, product development, advertising, promotional activities and with a specialist range of management services.
