"When aspiring entrepreneurs decide to take that proverbial leap of faith and choose franchising as a means to become their own boss, it can obviously be an overwhelming time. So much information is available. So many different franchise concepts to choose from, with over 3,500 in today's marketplace. So many business models to review.

Franchising can overwhelm newcomers with abundant information, thousands of franchise concepts, varied business models, and specialized terminology. Prospective franchisees can encounter many industry experts—consultants, brokers, attorneys, and financial planners—who offer guidance through the process. The industry uses numerous acronyms that appear across legal, development and sales, financial metrics, and operations and support contexts. Categorizing acronyms by context helps reduce confusion. Membership organizations like the International Franchise Association (IFA) serve as prominent industry resources. Newcomers are encouraged to learn at their own pace and to give themselves grace while becoming familiar with franchise terminology and processes.
