Thinking
about starting your own business?
What are your options?
 There
are hundreds of different businesses you can consider starting,
and each has its own set of pros and cons. The biggest roadblock
to starting or buying a business is that they require a considerable
up-front cash investment. In addition to the large investment,
the time commitment you must make when starting a business
can ultimately turn out to be be far greater than what you
have experienced in any job, and the return is not necessarily
worth the extra time or the financial risk.
Let's take
a look at some of your options for starting your own business:
Option
- Buying a Franchise:
You could buy a franchise such as McDonalds, Burger King,
Wendy’s, Subway, or Dominos Pizza, but you may find they
have many BARRIERS TO ENTRY. You will need to
make a large upfront cash investment (average start-up cost
between supplies, location, etc - can fall between $400,000
to $1 million), and in the end, what you are really buying
yourself is 90-hour-a-week job. You are going to be stuck
in one location all the time, and you will have to be there
everyday to oversee the operation. You are not going to increase
your time freedom.
With a franchise, you are
also going to be required to pay royalty fees for the life
of your business. These fees are in addition to all of your
operating expenses, and in many cases, they can prevent you
from being profitable.
The following shows a few
examples of franchises taken from Entrepreneur.com.
Be sure to note the "net worth" and "cash liquidity"
requirements which would prevent
the majority of people from even considering this option:

Option
- Traditional Brick & Mortar Business:
In almost every case, if you buy yourself a traditional business,
you are doing nothing more than buying yourself a job... only
with more headaches. You assume all responsibility, and you
must be there all the time to make sure that everything is
running properly. There are numerous costs associated with
operating a traditional business including inventory, rent,
and of course, personnel. Administrative tasks take up a tremendous
amount of time. The success of your business can be highly
dependent on the state of economy, and you are also bound
to one location. Long hours trapped in one location do not
give you the freedom to spend more time with your family and
friends or be able to take vacations, travel, and live a life
of comfort and privilege. Costs are also a barrier to entry.
Here are few examples of business that you can purchase -
