There are many perks to being a self-employed entrepreneur. Some love the flexibility that comes with determining your own work hours. Some love the idea of bringing a new product or idea into the world, with high hopes of becoming the next [Shark Tank success story](http://www.businessinsider.com/the-biggest-shark-tank-success-stories-2015-12), and some just want to be their own boss, and go by their own rules.

But with the perks of entrepreneurship comes problems as well. In fact, studies show that [90% of startups fail](http://www.forbes.com/sites/neilpatel/2015/01/16/90-of-startups-will-fail-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-10/#51cb1f9855e1). While this success rate can be somewhat discouraging, many entrepreneurial hopefuls turn to franchising opportunities, which come with a built-in support system and a proven formula for success. 

Franchising is a turnkey solution for the business-owner wannabe, and if you find the right fit, buying a franchise can lead to a bounty of success. But with the decision to buy a franchise comes a plethora of options to choose from. So how do you choose the best franchise fit for you?

Here are 5 questions that will help you to make the right franchise buy-in decision to suit your needs:

***1) What are your personal goals?***

Start by putting pen to paper to outline your reasons for wanting to buy into a franchise. Are you looking for work flexibility? Are you wanting to generate more income? Are you hoping to run a side business but still keep your day job, or are you looking for a secure full-time business opportunity that will generate enough income to support your family? Your reasons for franchising with greatly affect which franchise best fits your needs.

***2) Does the product or service being offered by this franchise interest you?***

There are many thriving franchises that promise ever-rising revenues, but if you’re not personally interested in what it is you’re selling, it will be difficult to maintain the momentum needed to make your business a success.

***3) Does the franchise offer a strong support system?***

A big reason for deciding to franchise is the [connected community](https://franchise.tapsnap.net/what-is-tapsnap/the-tapsnap-difference/) that comes with joining a franchised business. If you experience technical problems, is there someone you can call? Are you able to chat with other franchisees to share ideas?

***4) Does the franchise offer training and support tools to get the business started?***

You’ve paid your money and you’re ready to start running your thriving business! Now what? A great franchise will offer training and support tools to help you get your business off the ground, and guide you to success.

***5) What is my investment budget?***

Franchise buy-in rates can vary significantly depending on your industry of choice, so it’s important to know what is a financially feasible investment level for your business before committing to a certain product or service. Fortunately, buy-in pricing can be more reasonable that the startup costs of running your own independently-run business.

Buying into a [franchise](https://franchise.tapsnap.net) gives you a higher chance of success than starting from scratch. Once you’ve found the right franchise fit for you, you can fulfill your dreams of running your own business - in whatever way fits best with your lifestyle.
