Two things are true in entrepreneurship: A business owner will have to either 1. Love making a lot of money, or 2. Really love the business they operate. When it comes to researching new business opportunities, some investors will prioritize money-making, while others will prioritize personal passion.One thing is common across the board: Some in-depth analysis is required for all people who are pursuing new business opportunities.Within the franchising industry, there are a handful of publications that show off the investment figures and profitable status of numerous brands. Entrepreneur.com’s <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500/2021?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-do-you-research-a-new-business-idea-2716900" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Franchise 500 list</a> is a great starting point for prospective franchisees looking to enter the franchising industry, as the yearly list is marked with categories, descriptions and initial investment information for 500 of the best names in franchising.Discovering new investment options is a simple and easy process with such a simplified list.
