AJ SPECIALTY PROPERTIES FRANCHISE INFORMATION
Many people dream of being an entrepreneur. By purchasing a franchise, you can sell goods and services that have instant name recognition and can obtain training and ongoing support to help you succeed. But be cautious. Like any investment, purchasing a franchise does not guarantee success.

To help you evaluate whether owning a franchise is right for you, the following information will help you understand your obligations as a franchise owner, how to shop for franchise opportunities, and how to ask the right questions before you invest.

The Benefits And Responsibilities of Franchise Ownership
A franchise typically enables you, the investor or “franchisee,” to operate a business. By paying a franchise fee, which may cost several thousand dollars, you are given a format or system developed by the company (“franchisor”), the right to use the franchisor?s name for a limited time, and assistance. For example, the franchisor may help you find a location for your outlet; provide initial training and an operating manual; and advise you on management, marketing, or personnel. Some franchisors offer ongoing support such as monthly newsletters, a toll free 800 telephone number for technical assistance, and periodic workshops or seminars.

While buying a franchise may reduce your investment risk by enabling you to associate with an established company, it can be costly. You also may be required to relinquish significant control over your business, while taking on contractual obligations with the franchisor. Below is an outline of several components of a typical franchise system. Consider each carefully.
