## Story

Franchising plays a major role in today’s business economy. According to the International Franchise Association’s Franchise Business Economic Outlook report, the 2015 economic output of over 780,000 independently owned and operated franchises came in at $889 billion in the U.S. alone. However, there are some factors to consider before inking a franchise agreement.

According to Franchise Business Review, it’s crucial for prospective franchisees to find their right match. With hundreds of franchises operating in multiple sectors of the industry, there’s no shortage of opportunities to choose from. However, things like skills, likes, background, training and qualifications can help narrow down your choice.

Finding the right brand ultimately has the potential to determine success. 89 percent of franchisees that Franchise Business Review surveyed for its annual report replied that they agreed or strongly agreed that they enjoyed operating their business.
