Embarking on the journey of entrepreneurship today presents a critical fork in the road: should one buy into a franchise or venture into the uncharted waters of starting a business from scratch? Unfortunately, the answer isn’t so simple — the&nbsp;<a href="https://wolfoffranchises.com/what-is-the-failure-rate-for-a-franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815#:~:text=Franchise%20Success%20Is%20Nuanced&amp;text=Bates%20looked%20at%20more%20than,73.1%25%20of%20independent%20retail%20locations." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">studies</a> of failure rates between franchises and independent businesses vary significantly and the decision really comes down to a myriad of factors such as industry conditions and financial strategy.&nbsp;“There is a benefit to doing your own thing, but there is also a benefit to going with a franchise,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelklarue?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Mike LaRue</a>, vice president of franchise development for&nbsp;<a href="https://angrychickzfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Angry Chickz</a>, the Nashville-style chicken franchise. “Each one also has its hurdles. So, it really depends on what you want and your desired quality of life. The first question I’d ask: Where do you see yourself in five years?”Franchising offers the allure of jumping into the business world with a safety net. The model comes with a blueprint for success, providing franchisees with a proven business model, branding and ongoing support. So, what's the catch? “There's a stigma around franchising, and I think it has to do with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/what-is-a-franchise-royalty-fee-2718389">the royalty fee</a> — why pay this fee if I'm doing all the work myself? Ideally, with the right franchise, the economies of scale from having multiple units should significantly outweigh that cost,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brighamdallas?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brigham Dallas</a>, founder of&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.hellosugar.salon/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hello Sugar</a>, the waxing and sugaring salon franchise. “This allows for quicker scaling and less financial loss at the startup phase.”Dallas illustrated this with an example from Hello Sugar. “We have a 6% royalty fee, but our use of AI technology, for example, has recently reduced labor costs from 12% to 5% at our corporate salon in Arizona,” he said. “That is just one example of how those savings can surpass the royalty expense.” <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yolanda-stevenson-1740204?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Yolanda Stevenson</a>, who started her transportation-to-school company&nbsp;<a href="https://taximomfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Taxi Mom</a> from scratch 20 years ago and has since franchised the concept, has seen both sides of the equation. For her, the answer is simple.“Hands down, buying a franchise is the better route because starting from scratch can be very hard,” Stevenson said. “It takes years to start up anything you do, but at least with a franchise you already have that infrastructure. You should be able to just get in the car and turn it on.”&nbsp;Moreover, Dallas emphasized the advantage of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-financing-101-finding-and-securing-available-funds-2724703">easier financing</a> for franchises. "It is very difficult to finance a start-up," he said. “Whereas obtaining an&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/the-most-profitable-franchises-backed-by-sba-loans-2720825">SBA loan</a> for a franchise is comparatively straightforward, making it a viable path for most entrepreneurs looking to build wealth through debt-financing.”Conversely, the path of starting a business from scratch caters to those who yearn for complete creative control and the challenge of building something entirely new. Of course, venturing solo lacks the immediate support network that a franchise system offers, posing higher initial risks and challenges.&nbsp;And not all businesses are created equal — the&nbsp;industry in question also plays a pivotal role in this decision.&nbsp; “If a business has a lot of competitors, like the pizza world, you will probably make more money with a franchise because the legacy competitors are just too big to compete with,” said Dallas. “However, if the business is unique — something that isn't really out there or doesn’t have a lot of competitors&nbsp;— there might be an opportunity to carve our your own niche.”&nbsp; One recent example, Dallas says, is&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pickleball-is-breaking-into-franchising-as-the-sports-popularity-continues-to-skyrocket-2724632">pickleball</a>. “There is a ton of space out there right now for a really well run system to come in and take over that market,” he said.LaRue also advised that in saturated markets, such as&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/top-pizza-franchise-opportunities-of-2022-2718276">pizza</a> or&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/what-are-the-most-popular-taco-franchises-in-2024-2724623">tacos</a>, aspiring entrepreneurs might benefit more from franchising first and learning from an established system before potentially branching out on their own. Another important aspect is the market in which the business will be operating. “I always tell any prospect — go through your city, see if there are any permits or licensing required to start this business,” said Stevenson. “That is not our job as a franchisor. We don’t live in the same city. I know my city, you know your city. Anybody that is starting any type of company needs to do their research.”Overall, whether one chooses to buy a franchise or start a business from scratch, the decision should be informed by a thorough assessment of personal goals, industry dynamics, financial strategies and an introspective look at one's willingness to either adapt to a franchisor's model or navigate the challenges of building a business independently.&nbsp;“Whether you start from scratch or start a franchise, you have to have the ability to step back and trust the business model,” said LaRue. “A lot of times people have a difficult time doing that, so they stay away from franchising like it's the plague. It is also important to ask yourself: Are you only doing your own thing because it is difficult for you to hear other perspectives? When you are a franchisee, you have to have an open mind and follow the systems of somebody else. If that is difficult for you, franchising may not be right.”For more info on buying a franchise vs. starting a business from scratch, check out these related 1851 Franchise stories:<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/start-a-business-or-buy-a-franchise-which-is-right-for-you-2725238">Start a Business or Buy a Franchise: Which Is Right for You?</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/should-you-buy-a-franchise-or-start-your-own-business-2719240">Should You Buy a Franchise or Start Your Own Business?</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMzP5XJ3_wk&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buying-a-franchise-vs-starting-from-scratch-2725815" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">How to Select a Franchise, What You Need to Know</a></li></ul>

<a href="https://hardeesfranchising.com/">Hardee’s</a>, a 65-year-old burger chain best known for its Thickburgers and breakfast biscuits, is facing a fast-moving round of closures driven by a franchise dispute rather than a bankruptcy filing.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/hardees-shutting-dozens-restaurants/91282586">Inc. recently reported that</a> 77&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-hardees-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2721286">Hardee’s</a> restaurants are expected to close within two weeks as one of the brand’s largest franchisees exits the system.&nbsp;According to the report, Hardee’s is suing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arcburger.com/">ARC Burger</a> — a franchise operator owned by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.highbluffcap.com/">High Bluff Capital Partners</a> — alleging the company fell behind on required payments and other contract obligations. Twenty-eight locations had already gone dark as of late December, with remaining sites scheduled to shutter across eight states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina and Wyoming.&nbsp;At the center of the complaint is the franchising “stack” of ongoing fees and pass-through costs that keep a system running. ARC Burger allegedly owes more than $6.5 million, including royalties, advertising fund contributions, technology and training fees, rent and taxes, and that payments stopped in December 2024. Hardee’s also argued in the lawsuit that the franchisee’s cash flow was not being used to bring accounts current.&nbsp;Hardee’s, for its part, is framing the shutdowns as a contractual enforcement issue, not a brand-wide retrenchment. “These closures are a result of ARC Burger’s failure to cure its defaults under its franchise agreements, despite solid sales,” a Hardee’s spokesperson said.&nbsp;The situation highlights a familiar franchising pressure point: unit economics. Inc. reported that Hardee’s operates more than 1,800 U.S. restaurants and that average annual sales per location are less than $1.2 million, well below averages cited for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-wendys-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2722520">Wendy’s</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-buy-a-mcdonalds-franchise-2724654#stories">McDonald’s</a>. Lower volumes can leave franchisees with less room to absorb higher labor, food and occupancy costs while staying current on fees.&nbsp;Hardee’s said it is working to limit fallout for workers and communities and is looking for ways to reopen closed restaurants. For franchising, the next chapter will likely involve finding replacement operators, transferring sites and rebuilding compliance — a reminder that franchise growth depends as much on franchisee solvency and execution as it does on consumer demand.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/hardees-shutting-dozens-restaurants/91282586">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

Hardee's Franchise - ARC Burger Lawsuit - 1851 Franchise

The closures stem from alleged unpaid royalties and missed franchise obligations by a major operator, not a broader chainwide collapse for the Hardee’s system.

<a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/">Yum! Brands</a> is considering a potential sale of Pizza Hut and plans to close 250 underperforming U.S. locations, according to a&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">recent article on Simply Wall St</a>. For the franchising industry, the significance is less about the stock and more about what it says about how large franchisors are managing brand portfolios in a high-cost operating environment.<a href="https://1851franchise.com/pizza-hut-franchise-deep-dive-2722519">Pizza Hut</a> is one of the most recognizable names in franchising. If Yum! decides to sell it, that would be a notable shift for a company built on a multi-brand platform. For years, large brand groups have argued that operating multiple concepts creates advantages, including shared resources, stronger purchasing power and the ability to invest in technology across the system. A sale would suggest Yum! believes those benefits no longer outweigh the effort required to improve Pizza Hut’s performance.The planned closures may have the most immediate impact on franchisees. When a franchisor reduces its footprint, it can change how the brand performs in local markets. Fewer locations can mean less convenience for customers, which can hurt overall traffic. It can also weaken the effect of local advertising when there are fewer restaurants supporting promotions in the same trade area.Closures can also affect store-level economics in ways that go beyond the locations that shut down. In some markets, remaining franchisees may pick up some displaced demand. In others, customers may switch to competitors. The changes can also affect local co-op advertising budgets and, depending on how purchasing and distribution are structured, can influence costs tied to volume.The move comes as competition in pizza remains intense, with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-dominos-pizza-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2725506">Domino’s</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-papa-johns-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2724607">Papa Johns</a> continuing to push delivery, digital ordering and value-focused offers. Simply Wall St notes Yum! has been rolling out its Byte digital platform across brands. If Yum! changes Pizza Hut’s role in the portfolio, it could also change where the company focuses its technology and marketing investment.For franchise systems watching from the outside, Yum!’s review is a reminder that growth is not always the main priority. Sometimes the bigger decision is whether a legacy brand can be improved inside a platform or whether it will perform better under a different owner and a different plan.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/consumer-services/nyse-yum/yum-brands/news/yum-brands-weighs-pizza-hut-sale-as-portfolio-reset-accelera">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

Yum! is reviewing the brand and closing 250 U.S. locations, a move that could affect franchisees and reshape its restaurant portfolio.

<a href="https://www.mcpfunds.com/">Monomoy Capital Partners</a> has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-jiffy-lube-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2720873">Jiffy Lube International</a> from Shell for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mcpfunds.com/news/monomoy-capital-partners-signs-definitive-agreement-to-acquire-jiffy-lube-from-shell/">approximately $1.3 billion</a>.Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, Jiffy Lube helped pioneer the fast oil change industry and today operates more than 2,000 service centers across North America. The brand serves roughly 19 million customers each year and has expanded beyond its core oil change service to include a broader range of automotive maintenance offerings, such as brake, battery and tire services through its Jiffy Lube Multicare model. Over the past four decades,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/advice-from-a-multi-unit-franchisee-steve-isom-jiffy-lube-2726482">the company has built a significant franchise network</a> that has helped maintain its position as a leader in the quick-service automotive maintenance sector.“Few brands have the heritage and scale of Jiffy Lube,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lee-mlotek-344a795">Lee Mlotek</a>, managing director of Monomoy, in a press release. “As the original pioneer of the fast oil change, Jiffy Lube reshaped the industry and remains the market leader today. We are incredibly excited to partner with our franchisees to enhance the customer experience and value proposition that has made Jiffy Lube a trusted name for generations.”The private equity firm, which manages more than $5.3 billion in assets across its investment funds, has a history of investing in middle-market manufacturing, distribution and service companies.&nbsp;The deal also reflects a broader trend of&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-franchising-and-private-equity-make-such-a-good-match-2720921">private equity investment in franchising</a>, as institutional investors increasingly view franchise systems as attractive platforms for long-term growth. Franchise brands often combine predictable revenue streams, strong brand equity and scalable expansion models, making them appealing targets for private equity firms seeking stable cash flow and opportunities for operational improvement.&nbsp;Read the original press release&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mcpfunds.com/news/monomoy-capital-partners-signs-definitive-agreement-to-acquire-jiffy-lube-from-shell/">here</a>.&nbsp;Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

Monomoy Capital Partners’ acquisition from Shell positions the iconic automotive service franchise for independent growth across its 2,000-location North American network.

According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312305776/en/RF-Expands-Residential-and-Commercial-Services-Portfolio-with-Investment-in-Precision-Garage-Door-Service-Franchisee">recent release</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://rf-partners.com/">RF Investment Partners</a>, a group focused on flexible capital solutions and value-add support to lower-middle-market businesses, has teamed up with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.burlingtoncp.us/">Burlington Capital Partners</a>, a group focused on family, founder and operator-owned lower-middle-market businesses, to acquire a prominent multi-territory&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.neighborly.com/precision-door">Precision Garage Door Service</a> franchise.The investment marks the seventh platform for RF within the service space. Precision Garage Door Service, which is part of the larger&nbsp;<a href="https://www.neighborly.com/">Neighborly</a> ecosystem, specializes in the installation, maintenance and repair of garage doors.&nbsp;“We are proud to partner with management and the Burlington team to support continued growth by investing in people and operational excellence,”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-fidler-6787143">Peter Fidler</a>, managing partner and co-founder of RF Investment Partners, said in the release. “The sector continues to present compelling opportunities given the essential nature of garage door repair, and we look forward to building on Precision’s strong foundation to drive long-term value.”This deal is part of the broader trend toward institutionalized multi-unit and multi-territory operators. Previously, franchising was largely viewed as the place for “mom-and-pop” businesses. And while franchises remain small, local businesses, the aggressive entry of private equity firms focused on operators (franchisees) rather than the brand (franchisor) is bringing new energy to small business ownership.Read the full release&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260312305776/en/RF-Expands-Residential-and-Commercial-Services-Portfolio-with-Investment-in-Precision-Garage-Door-Service-Franchisee">here</a>.Want to learn more about how 1851 helps franchisees find the right franchise opportunity?

The strategic investment marks the seventh residential services platform for RF and reflects a growing institutional desire for high-potential, operator-led franchises.

How much can franchisees make? It’s a question many prospective owners ask before investing in a franchise. While earnings tend to be driven by variables such as industry, location and general management skills, a proper understanding of the key factors driving profitability can help franchise owners develop expectations that are realistic.&nbsp;Multi-unit franchisee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mangesh-patel-9368569/">Mangesh Patel</a>, who’s readying the launch of six&nbsp;<a href="https://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/">Beef ‘O’ Brady’s</a> restaurant locations in the Macon, Georgia area, shares insights from his franchising experience.<h2>Understanding Franchise Income</h2>Keeping operational costs in check can have a major impact on overall earnings. Taking a proactive approach to expenses such as food and labor, as well as payroll and scheduling, can help align actual franchise income with general expectations for the business.“I just had a meeting with a couple of people, and they said, ‘You talked about a 25% profit margin, but I’m only doing 12%.’ So, I looked at the figures they sent me,” Patel said. “Their&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/calculate-restaurant-franchise-profit-2730476">restaurant</a> food cost was running at 37%, which should be around 30%. The national average is about 32%. If I do things correctly, my average food cost needs to be at or below 30%. And payroll should run around 18%. But many people run 25 to 28%.”So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/unraveling-franchise-earnings-how-much-can-you-really-make-2723935">how much can franchisees make</a>? Here are five areas to consider.<h2>Practical Tips for Prospective Franchisees</h2><ol><li>Control Costs From Day One:&nbsp;It’s important to monitor payroll, food and supply costs closely. Overstaffing and inefficiencies can quickly reduce profits.</li><li>Plan For The Opening Surge:&nbsp;Traffic within the first few months of opening is likely to be higher. It’s important to adjust staffing and inventory accordingly, and pay close attention to how those levels change as time goes on.</li><li>Invest In Training:&nbsp;Properly trained workers can help reduce waste and improve overall service, which has a direct effect on net income.</li><li>Understand Your Market:&nbsp;Each market is unique and revenue potential will vary depending upon location, demographics and competition.</li><li>Track Metrics Regularly:&nbsp;Food cost percentages, labor ratios and weekly sales data act as key indicators operations may need to be adjusted.</li></ol><h2>What Profitability Really Comes Down To</h2>Patel notes that if franchise owners manage labor and costs properly, it’s not impossible to achieve strong cash flow even in the first year, bucking some franchising trends.So,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/how-much-can-you-make-as-a-franchise-owner-2724761">how much can franchisees make</a>? While results tend to vary, careful planning, disciplined operations and a proactive approach to assessing initial costs are essential. But by grasping and guiding the elements that drive franchise profitability, franchise owners can maximize overall business earnings, scaling a business that’s sustainable financially over the long term.Want to learn more about franchise opportunities on 1851 Franchise?
