A common phrase heard in franchise marketing is that you go into business "for yourself, not by yourself," and nothing can be truer.

Franchising gives you the advantage of a dedicated team of people working on your side to improve business operations.
 

Franchises are more likely to succeed than a stand alone business.

• Studies have shown that a franchise is more likely to stay in business than a non-franchised business.
• Research has shown that of all businesses starting today, only 20% will still be trading in 5 years time. With franchising these figures are reversed.
• Franchises have reported a success rate of 95 percent in contrast to less than 50 percent success rate of new, independently owned businesses.
• Past performance shows that a branded name with tested systems help the franchise business stay in business longer than individually owned businesses.

Franchises Have Already Proven they are Profitable

• As a franchise buyer, you become part of a proven system of operation with an established track record.
• Playball offers a well researched concept with products and services that have sold successfully.
• With a franchise you benefit from the work and experience of others that have invested thousands of hours creating a successful business.
• When you start a business from scratch you can only guess at the difficulties ahead, but with a franchise opportunity many of the common obstacles that new business owners face have been addressed.
• This knowledge is passed on as part of the franchise system. It enables you to start your business at a much higher point on the learning curve.

 
Owning a business is a dream for many people because of the great feelings of independence and freedom that being your own boss can bring.

The only way to secure your destiny is to take control of it yourself.

The world has changed and no matter how much any company appreciates their employees they can’t makes any promises for the future. 

There are also great tax advantages to owning a business over being a PAYG employee. 

• All of the expenses involved in running your business to make income are tax deductible.
• When you are an employee, very few expenses involved in earning your pay are tax deductible.
