FAQ:
Which Franchises Have The Lowest Failure Rates?
Answer: It is generally agreed by
most small business experts and lenders that starting a
franchise business is safer than starting an independent
business. However franchise businesses do fail, and some fail
quite regularly. And there are some general franchise
categories that do historically appear have lower failure
rates than others. Its been my experience that
service related franchises for example have a lower
failure rate than fast food franchises. If you want to do
more research you can view a
list here of some popular franchises (Days Inn & Super 8
Motel are at the top of the list) that have some of
the relatively lowest failure rates according to SBA
franchise loan default statistics.
