Thinking about owning a business but unsure if franchising is right for you? A franchise is a business model where individuals (franchisees) buy the rights to operate under an established brand. It’s a great way to start a business with the support of a proven system, but there are many misconceptions about what franchising really is. Let’s bust five common myths!
Myth 1: Franchising is Only for Big Brands
🛑 The Truth: While fast-food giants and retail chains are well-known franchises, many small and growing brands also offer franchise opportunities. Businesses like Messy Bubs provide an affordable way to own a business with the backing of an established name—without the huge costs of major brands.
Myth 2: Franchise Owners Don’t Have Control
🛑 The Truth: Franchisees run their own business while following the brand’s guidelines. At Messy Bubs, you have the freedom to manage your schedule, promote your sessions, and grow your customer base—all while benefiting from proven business strategies.
Myth 3: All Franchise Fees Are the Same
🛑 The Truth: Every franchise has different fees. Some charge high upfront fees, while others, like Messy Bubs, are designed to be affordable for parents looking to start their own business. Royalty fees also vary—some take a percentage of earnings, while others charge a fixed amount.
Myth 4: You Have to Pay for Marketing Even if It Doesn't Benefit You
🛑 The Truth: Some franchises have a marketing levy, which is a fee used for national or regional advertising. However, not all franchises charge this, and at Messy Bubs, franchisees are supported with marketing materials and guidance, helping them grow their local presence without unnecessary costs.
Myth 5: Franchising is Risk-Free
🛑 The Truth: Like any business, a franchise requires hard work and commitment. However, you’re investing in a proven system with training, support, and brand recognition—giving you a much stronger starting point than going solo.
