How to Buy a Franchise in Canada

Purchasing a franchise in Canada is actually just like purchasing a franchise any where else in the world. But there are some peculiarities when it comes to the protection of the franchisees.

Here are some of the things that you need to know when you plan to purchase a franchise in Canada.

A disclosure document is important in any transaction. This document states all the things that you should know in purchasing a franchise. Here are some things that you should consider with regards to the disclosure document.

After you have read the disclosure document, it is recommended that you consult with a lawyer who specializes with franchises, or a franchise lawyer. You should confirm with the franchise lawyer the details written on the disclosure document such as the cost and other fees. Also, if there is something that you find hard to understand, you may seek the help of the franchise lawyer to enlighten you with the details of the disclosure document. If you know all the details, it is now easy to do business with the franchise company that you want to be a part of.

The disclosure document should include the details in various events such as in a case of bankruptcy. You should really be careful in reading these details in order for you to avoid problems.

The disclosure document will also include the contact details of the current and previous franchisees of the franchise companies. Take this opportunity to establish contact with these franchisees to ask feedbacks. But in case that you are having hard time talking to these people, you can just ask general questions such as if they are happy with their franchise or are they generating sufficient income. This is helpful so that you may be able to have an idea whether you will become successful or not in doing the business. If the current franchisees are not satisfied, you may want to think twice on whether you like to pursue doing a business with the franchise company or not.

Lastly, make sure that you review all the details included in the disclosure document so that you may be able to purchase a franchise in Canada easily.

Just like when you purchase a franchise in any part of the world, you should also consider several factors in purchasing a franchise in Canada. One of which is your budget. Make sure that you will have the sufficient amount of money to start a certain franchise. You should not try to start a business that you know that is not within your budget, you will just have a hard time.

But in case that you really want to start a certain franchise but you do not have the sufficient amount for you capital, you can consider borrowing money from different financial institutions such as banks and lending companies.

    my name is Bukhosibakhe Nkwanyana from Ozwatini bhamshela area. I love to get a Shell garage francher, not for only myself but for the benefit of the entire community because we do not have petrol garage at all in a very huge area. For the community to get petrol they have to drive 2hrs distance to go which is Tongaat or PMB, and drive another 2hrs back home.
