Why Buy A Franchise? 

Franchising has it's beginnings back in the mid 1800s, and is simply one method of distributing products or services. Two levels are involved in any franchise system: a. the franchisor, who provides its trademark, trade name and/or a business system; and b. the franchisee, who pays an initial investment and ongoing fees for the right to do business under the franchiser's name.

Why Should I Buy A Franchise Instead of Starting My Own Business?

Brand awareness can make or break a business, and Gotcha Covered provides instant and proven brand awareness without the time and effort that would otherwise be required.

How Successful Are Franchises Compared to Other Business?

A study by the U.S. Small Business Administration found that over 62% of all new non-franchise businesses fail within the first six years of business. In contrast, a study by Arthur Anderson of 366 franchise companies found that over 96% were still in business after 5 years of business. There are about 1500 franchisors in the U.S. today; about 1 in 12 businesses is a franchise, and a new franchise opens about every 8 minutes of every business day. 

Furthermore, franchise systems:

• generate over $800 billion in annual revenue 
• account for over 40% of all retail sales
• employ more than 8 million people
• create more than 170,000 new jobs every year

If you have the entrepreneurial spirit, yet desire the confidence of a proven business system and support of those who have 'been there and done that', there is no better choice than a Gotcha Covered franchise!
