Recent Centre research “Survival of the Fittest: the performance of franchised versus independent small business during economic uncertainty and recovery”* discovered that franchises and small businesses overlooked critical issues in their business management that may lead to business failure.
Contractual Understanding, Partnerships, Expectations, and Debt Levels were identified as being the most critical areas, yet it was revealed that most failed business owners were lacking in knowledge in one (or more) of these areas.
Knowing what these issues are before buying a franchise or small business is the best insurance you can give your business. Now, you can watch the four free animated eClasses below to improve your business management knowledge.
