It decreases the chances of your business failing, because a franchise rarely will fail.  When you collaborate with an established brand, you can expect:

Proper Training: A franchise will provide any new franchisee with all of the proper training, to ensure that they remain aware of the laws and regulations, sales practices, and all of the latest strategies on running the business
