Quiz: Are you suited to be a Franchisee?

Are you suited to be a Franchisee?

We have spent decades working out what character traits make a successful Franchisee. It's like being successful in any business, but with a special focus on the ability to take advice and work within a system. Take this quiz and be honest with yourself. Find out whether you really should be going into a franchise. We won't use the results if you do apply, though our selection system will look for these traits.

Are you suited to be a Franchisee?

Question 2: How do you feel about repeat, simple tasks?

Our franchises are all about doing simple jobs, well. Top Franchisees can be many times as efficient as those just starting out.

With time, a franchise should be able to provide both a good income and a good lifestyle, but it can be tough to start with.

Business can be tough, even with good support. Strength of character is what counts.

To follow the system and stay out of trouble To make more money Because I hate letting people down

Our surveys show that good customer service improves income, but that the best customer service stems from character.

Question 9: What tends to happen in small groups?

The most successful Franchisees want to take charge of their lives.

Being in business means making decisions, but one benefit of a Franchise is good advice. Franchisees who won't listen tend to fail.

Question 13: If someone says you're taking the wrong path, do you

Tell them why they're wrong Accept that they're probably right Listen carefully, to see if what they say makes sense

Again, the willingness to listen is key. If you can't take advice, better to go it alone!
