Craig, W. (2015). From Family To Franchising: Five Ways To Start Your Business Empire.

Forbes.

According to this article, there are more than half a million new businesses started across the

country every single month (Craig, 2015). There are many ways to become a business owner in

the world today and there are many risks involved with each of those avenues as well. When

starting a business from scratch the most important aspect is having a product that people want.

According to this article, nine out of ten startup companies fail and 42% of polled startup owners

claimed their business failed due to a lack of need for or her product (Craig, 2015). A business can

also be acquired by inheritance or taking over of a family business. Craig (2015) also found, that

only about 10% of family-owned businesses will survive long enough to see the third generation

take over. The reasons for this are the perception by younger generations that the family business

will always be available as a backup option if other ventures don’t work out. Buying an existing

business is also an option for those who have keen insight into opportunities. Becoming a franchise

owner is another way to become a business owner. This step also takes determination and focus

but can be very rewarding. There is stability that comes with taking over a location that has an

established corporate presence already backing it up with corporate sponsors that are ready and

willing to help get you started on the right track.
