I think the appeal of the franchise is the fact that you have the advantages of the marketing, brand name, proven business model, etc. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

It seems to me that one of the best things about a franchise would be that they probably have some sort of marketing program already set up. "Plugging into" someone else's marketing plan has got to be so much easier than developing your own. I'm not saying that I think franchises are better than starting your own business, just that I can see where there might be some advantages.
