The negatives with a franchise have already been stated (fees, etc) but you have to remember that most business fail withing the first 24 months. The failure rate for a franchise is much lower. So if you want to increase the odds of your success, then go with a franchise.

For a beginner it is more easy to take a franchise instead of starting your own business. This might result loss to you and take your future to darkness.

There are benefits and drawbacks to either approach you take.  A main benefit of a franchise is a proven model, the drawback is the high expense.  A main benefit of starting a business yourself is you decide how much you invest, the drawback is an unproven business model.

 

First you probably want to explore the type of business you want to do.  That will probably inform what strategy you take to start it. Good luck to you!

This depends upon if you want to take control or be controlled even though buying a franchise of a well developed company will make it easier for you to establish you business but they will have control over your company as well..!! If you really have time to build up your own company with good standards then go for it.

Whichever you choose location is key. With a Franchise you are controlled by the company and what you can actually do, as they have systems in place for everything. This is good if you are not really looking to use your own ideas - however it can be very restrictive.  Building your own business you have the Freedom to make your own decisions.

This might help you with some things that you will need to know to start up.

 This is very true, if you want a business that already has a system to follow then it will be much better to franchise. However, if you think that you have wonderful business ideas and you want to more freedom when it comes to decision making, then it is better to start up from scratch.

You'll want to be sure your vending machine offers remote monitoring, so you know what's happening without leaving your home or office. Real time remote monitoring enables you to have a full stock of fresh products since you can view your inventory and see if there are any maintenance issues. It also helps reduce lost sales from items that are out of stock. A high quality franchise will only carry high quality machines, so again if you choose your franchise wisely you don't have to worry about these things.

Actually both are good if you have a good business idea and market. Try to know first what kind of business you want to have or you're interested in. See if you have a good market or possible customers. After that, check if you can have it by yourself or needs a franchise. Do some business research if you want to earn a good money by the next couple of years.
