Running a franchise is not a passive or easy task. You need to manage and grow your business effectively and efficiently, which involves planning, organizing, leading, and controlling various aspects of your operation. You need to hire, train, and motivate your staff, monitor and improve your performance and quality, handle your finances and accounting, comply with legal and ethical regulations, and deal with any problems or crises that may arise. You also need to look for opportunities to expand your customer base, increase your sales and profits, and enhance your competitive edge.
