Answer: Below are a list of
some of top or main reasons why individual franchise
locations eventually fail or go out of business:
Poor Location: As
with real estate, its all about location for retail
franchise businesses. A sub prime location
with low visibility and marginal traffic is often a
tough (and often impossible) obstacle to over come
when starting and establishing a new franchise.
Incompetent
Owners: Many franchise businesses never stand a
chance of surviving because the owner (or franchisee)
is just not capable of following the franchise system
or making the necessary initial sacrifices required to
succeed.
Overwhelming Competition:
Many franchise
concepts face enormous competitive forces from similar
businesses and trying to survive in an already over
saturated retail market.
Under Capitalized:
Many new franchise owners don't make it because they
simply run out of working capital or don't have adequate
funds to survive the crucial start-up phase and
reach profitability.
