If you are already in the franchise business or are exploring new business ideas, you will find it useful to analyze the franchise benefits you will receive in terms of financial, marketing and sales support with Direct English.
If you start with an independent business you are in uncharted territory, and if you make too many wrong decisions it could end up being much more costly than if you had chosen a business with a franchise solution. It may also take longer to figure out the right formula for making profits. You’ll also have to create all the processes, develop your own training and most of all, you will have to develop your business with a completely unknown brand.
