Q. How
does Dearborn West differ from a standard business brokerage?
A. A business brokerage lists and sells existing businesses,
often including real estate and leases in the sale. Usually these are local businesses run by local owners and are frequently
overpriced or lack sufficient bookkeeping controls. Dearborn West represents only new business opportunities.
Q.
Why should I buy a franchised business?
A. There are many reasons, increasing your odds for success is chief among them.
Additionally, landlords love franchises because of a very stable track record, a proven system, and an effective business
model. Last year, 42% of all retail goods and services were sold through franchised outlets. You are in business for yourself,
but never by yourself.
