Should I franchise? Papag 03-05-2006
Hi all,

I am new to the mortgage broker game in Australia,..I want to get into the
industry, and have the option of either going it alone, or buying into a
franchise. I've no industry experience but I do have a background in sales
(of insurance products).

Obviously a franchise would mean a diminished income, but I still might
enjoy higher earnings than what I could earn outside a franchise structure
(because of strong branding).

I am really in two camps about it.

This is the franchise I am looking at.

I like the business model because I can still see it working during a
housing downturn.

The franchise is offerring new territories, so either way, I would be starting
from the same base. Is going it alone, without industry experience suicide?
(it's sounding like a dumb question atm)


What advice would you give?
