Start a Business

Do you want to start a business? Are you dreaming of working from home, being your own boss, and finding financial and

personal freedom? Starting your own business can put you on the path to all of these exciting lifestyle improvements and achievements—but more often than not, it doesn’t work out. In fact, 80% of the people who start a new business fail within the first 18 months.

Do you want to be one of the lucky 20% who succeeds? Consider a franchise opportunity first.

Smart New Business Owners

Anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit hears “yes” when others hear “no,” and knows that great rewards require taking a few risks. But smart new business owners understand the risks they are taking and take action to overcome them. The statistics from the Small Business Association are sobering: half of all new businesses fail within five years, and two-thirds fail within ten years.

The Reasons

Why? There are many reasons, but most business failures occur for one of the following six reasons:

  • idea or service wasn’t strong enough to sustain the company
  • didn’t find or satisfy enough customers
  • didn’t survive a downturn in the economy
  • location wasn’t right
  • wasn’t managed effectively
  • was too expensive and ran out of cash

The Good News

The good news is, the longer a new business survives, the better its chances of thriving. If entrepreneurs can get through the first 18 months, things will get better. Not sure if your new business plan can go the distance?
There’s a proven way to get a head start in the small business world. If you really want to start your own business and have it succeed, you should really start thinking about franchise opportunities.

An established franchise opportunity

An established franchise opportunity helps you fight back against five of the six biggest reasons small businesses fail—and an affordable franchise opportunity like Coffee News® fortifies you against all six! Coffee News® franchise owners, called publishers, don’t build their small business from scratch. They build their small business on a strong and proven foundation, and that helps them build that business to last.
