The franchise model is a path to guaranteed success so long as the person signing the franchise agreement puts in the work and effort necessary to replicate the business.&nbsp;When it comes to deciding which franchise to invest in, Beagelman advised entrepreneurs considering the franchise industry to evaluate their own interests, determine their investment appetite, seek out connection points with prospective brands, get comfortable with a limited amount of control and consult the experts before signing on the dotted line."When a prospect carries out this process for each of the brands they’re considering investing in, they gain a clear picture of each brand’s differentiators as it relates to the prospect’s own level of importance, helping them to make the most informed decision possible,” writes Beagelman.Signing a franchise agreement is typically a 10-year commitment, so making sure prospects find a connection point with the brands they are considering is paramount. Once they’ve found the brand for them, Beagelman adds it’s imperative for candidates to enlist the services of a specialized franchise attorney to review the necessary documents before signing on to begin their next entrepreneurial journey.Read his full article <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenbeagelman/2019/11/26/everything-you-need-to-look-for-when-considering-buying-a-franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=forbes-everything-you-need-to-look-for-when-considering-buying-a-franchise-2711938#101130e02f2a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
