State College, PA (prHWY.com) March 4, 2013 - American Franchise Dream enlists five key principles that prospective franchisees should follow when looking out for buying a franchise. First and foremost is to abandon emotions. No decision should be taken when one is fully charged up and excited about the proposal. One would lose the ability to view things objectively and fall prey to the flow. Thinking logically and pragmatically, one would be able to arrive at the right decision. Buying a franchise would mean living with it practically for more than 12 to 16 hours. The prospective franchisee should ascertain if he or she can put up with such kind of demanding work pressure.

Franchising is not just independent business. There is a lot more to it. One has to study franchising thoroughly before actually making a serious foray into it. There should be no aspect left uncovered during the learning process. Including the family into the business or discussions will make the job less strenuous as there would be someone who could share the work. Do not take a hasty decision. AFD suggests that the prospective franchisee has to develop the skill of anticipating potential problems that may occur and be prepared to tackle the same by having good exit strategies in place. There will be numerous franchises for sale but identifying the one that would definitely work calls for a lot of circumspection.

When questioned as to how and what one should consider while contemplating on franchises for sale, the spokesperson said, "All you have to do is hone up your investigative skills and everything will work in your favor. There are a few questions that you will need to find answers to. You need to get down to the fact as to how your franchisor is making his money. Is it from your initial investment or from royalties or from other sales? Ideally it should be a mix of all. But if you find that he is making money only from the sale of franchises, then you need to be wary about that option. You also need to consider if the franchise for sale has a solid business model. You need to ascertain if it is the right choice for your specific region. You will have to find out if the franchisor is providing a local marketing strategy. When you have apt answers for all these points, you may take a step towards the franchise option."

AFD claims to have come into being so that it could be helpful for prospective franchisees by giving them enough coop on franchising. Its main aim is to educate prospective franchisees on the nuances of franchising. It emphasizes the fact that today's smart franchisors realize that success is all about finding the right franchisees who can make reliable strategic partners.
