INVEST IN A NEW FARM STORES OR AN EXISTING ONE?
Entrepreneurs almost always prefer to minimize their financial risks, especially when they’re investing their own money in a new enterprise. This alone is why many entrepreneurs decide to invest their funds in a proven franchise model like Farm Stores, rather than getting involved in a startup or buying a small business with little brand recognition.
Aside from having great managerial and people skills, candidates must meet the fundability requirements. Once we’ve helped franchisees pinpoint the funding, we help them decide whether they’d be happier with a new Farm Stores franchise or an existing one.
