Buying a franchise is becoming a hot trend in the American market. This option gives the applicant, on the one hand, the opportunity to secure a known and proven business concept: it is easier to maintain its level and calculate development under an existing brand. On the other hand, it is possible to significantly reduce the amount of required investments. Indeed, in this option, it is possible to acquire a controlling stake in the company (51%), when in fact you pay only half of the cost of the business, becoming a passive investor. The previous owner will continue to manage the company, and you will receive your share of the profits.
