Passion is a key ingredient for a successful franchise! Below, we offer some key advice that can help you choose your perfect franchise.

Know your strengths
In order to find the right franchise for you, it's important to know what you're good at. What's your background? What are your interests? What are you good and bad at? Identifying your good and bad points can lead you away from opportunities which just don't suit your personality or lifestyle, and towards avenues that fit your ambitions and temperament better.
Do your research
Watch out for Discovery Days, which a lot of franchisors hold for potential franchisees in order to give them a chance to find out more about the franchise or pose any queries or concerns they may have. It's an opportunity to explore your potential new business in greater depth and make you feel more comfortable with taking the next step.
Become an expert
Franchisors want to work with people with a passion for what they're doing, so jumping in with both feet will impress them and load you with information.
Give yourself an edge
Many franchisors filter their candidates through several stages before committing to them. As a result, having the appropriate finances, a genuine passion in the market you want to enter and an understanding of the business,can give you a crucial advantage. Show the franchisor that you have everything (and more) that they are looking for in a prospective franchisee.
