An Expensive Decision

The purchase of a computer repair franchise can be quite expensive. It is important to research answers to some specific questions to help as you make your decision whether to purchase a computer repair franchise. 

Be strongly determined to get satisfactory answers before you make any commitments to purchase a computer repair franchise.

Start by asking the computer repair franchise company how many franchisees they currently have, what the average first full year income was for those franchisees, and what percentage of people who purchased franchises are still doing it for their primary business. 

Get these numbers in writing. Ask for the names of the franchisees nearest you and visit them. By visiting the site of a computer repair franchise, you can get a true feel for the benefits and pitfalls of the business.

Talk to Franchisees

Do not put much faith in what a regional "Master" franchisee has to say, since these people have a vested interest in signing you up. You want to talk to computer repair franchise owners who are operating at the level you will be operating.

To buy a franchise, we're talking about amounts of money that would pay for a condo in some places - would you buy a condo sight unseen? Find out how long the franchiser has been in business, and if they are a public company, check out their financial statements in at the nearest library.

As you consider purchasing a computer repair franchise carefully, weigh what the franchise can provide that you can't provide on your own. Many times the computer professional will realize there are great financial benefits to owning their own business without the costs of a franchise.
