If you came across an easy and lucrative business opportunity, would you take it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For most entrepreneurs, the answer is yes. However, you can only take advantage of the opportunities you can see, and some of the best opportunities may be flying below your radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, rent-to-own franchising is successful and fulfilling, but most entrepreneurs don\u2019t know exactly how it works. Keep reading to discover what it is, how it works, and whether it is right for you or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our guide is going to walk you through doing a rental franchise the right way. Before we go any further, though, we need to explore exactly how rent-to-own franchising works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Basically, an entrepreneur reaches an agreement with a franchisor<\/a>. This agreement sets out certain important details about when and how you would eventually take ownership of the franchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This agreement usually involves running the franchise for a certain number of years before buying. The contract will also outline things like the rental agreement for the property, maintenance requirements, option money, and the purchase price of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With standard franchising, you don\u2019t have to engage in much negotiation. However, with rent-to-own franchising, negotiation is critical before you can get down to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, the seller will likely present you with a contract outlining all of the aspects we touched on before (and then some). Chances are that you will want to negotiate on elements of the contract, such as the purchase price before you sign anything. In some cases, the contract may specify how the two of you will determine the purchase price at a future date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now you know some of the basics of rent-to-own franchising, but is it the right choice for you? In order to figure that out, it\u2019s important to understand the different pros and cons of rental franchises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest benefit is that you get to experience running a business<\/a> without fully committing right away. It\u2019s very common for businesses to fail in the first five years (in fact, 45% of new businesses fail during those first few years<\/a>). And if you start such a business from scratch, you may be left with nothing to show but extreme debt. With rent-to-own franchising, you can make sure the business is viable before you end up buying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rent-to-own franchising also gives you an extended support network for your business. When you run into difficulties, all you have to do is consult the seller about what you should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\nThe Need to Negotiate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
