Name recognition
One of the most significant benefits to franchising is the name recognition you’ll enjoy. It can take a new business years to build up a strong reputation for itself. When you make the decision to franchise, you’ll be able to cash in on the reputation of your franchisor. You’ll enjoy a greater number of customers who know and trust your brand than you would if you decided to go it alone.
