Quite often, smaller burger franchises outperform bigger players in some regions. Finding the right niche market is therefore important since the preferences of the local community where your franchise is located will determine its success. The benefits of opening a burger franchise as opposed to starting an independent unit are numerous. The most important is that franchise start ups are generally much more successful than independent unit start ups. The reason for this is that in a franchise, the business model that is their modus operandi has been tried and tested numerous times and as a result they have come up with a perfect or near perfect model. For an independent start up, everything is normally done from scratch, mostly on a trial and error basis. While some mistakes may not be life threatening to the business the cumulative effect of these errors and the steep learning curve will eventually take its toll and might collapse even the soundest of businesses. It’s also generally easier to get financial backing from institutions such as banks with a start up franchise than with an independent unit.
