What motivates people to buy a franchise?

I think it is much more exciting creating a business from scratch I do not know why people would be tempted to fit into somebody elses model and not have the ability to change it - your thoughts?

I think most people buy because they can get a quick start and they do not want to develop it from scratch

I agree. It does seem strange though I look at all of the Franchises and I would not want any of them because I do not have a passion for the business I think most people buy them to make money not to have fun

Re: What motivates people to buy a franchise?

I would buy a franchise if it was a product or service that I was interested in. Take fitness, for example. I enjoy the fitness environment and have a desire to start my own business. If a turn key franchise for fitness was available I would look into it further. Someone has walked gone through the mine field and I just need to walk in their footsteps.
