The success of any business rests inherently on how much demand there is for it long term. Every industry will have trends that come and go but there are a few industries that will always have customers regardless of a fluctuating economy.
When choosing a Franchise to invest in, it’s worth considering the past, present and future of the product/service of the Franchise, a term I offer use is… ‘has it got legs’! In other words, what’s the longevity of it and has the Franchise been created out of a trend that’s quickly dwindling!
Episode 10 of the Apprentice 2012 provided a great example of a short term trend that may already be in decline…the fish pedicure! A treatment that exploded with popularity due to the latest celebrity beauty fad may continue to do well but perhaps not so great long term as a Franchise opportunity.
So what market sectors are the most likely to do well long term?
Here are 3 great ones…
Children They are the adults of the future and every parent wants the best for their child. Creative Education Sports Play/Fitness
