From day one of your conceiving your product/service, its important to consider becoming a "Franchisor" - Have enough depth in your product offering so that you can create a "Franchise Prototype".

This will surely open up a whole new world where you can farm out your business model accross many geographic reasons and create many franchises out of your business model.

Don't think small business, but think of how your small business can replicate itself through pre-established systems/franchisable models..Tough one to imagine, but that should be the dream of any new business I think.

(My thoughts!)

Thanks!
