...Subway Franchise Course Instructor’s Name 11 August 2012 Subway Franchise The franchise concept has several advantages for both the franchisor and the franchisee. For the franchisor, offering a franchise arrangement means an easy access to capital formation brought about by the investments of franchisees (Om Sai Ram Center for Financial Management Research, 2006). Furthermore, it provides incremental income for the franchisor through royalty payments. Another advantage of the franchise concept is that it makes possible a faster expansion program for the franchisor supported by motivated distributors in the person of the franchisees (Om Sai Ram Center for Financial Management Research, 2006). The franchisees stand to benefit too from a franchise agreement. The franchisee gets to experience entrepreneurial autonomy using a proven concept, often with extensive recognition of the brand name (Om Sai Ram Center for Financial Management Research, 2006). The franchisee also benefits from the training programs provided by the franchisor, coupled with continuing supervision of the store. Although there are advantages to owning a franchise, franchisees are faced with disadvantages too. Decision-making is quite limited since the franchisee should follow the guidelines set by the franchisor (Om Sai Ram Center for Financial Management Research, 2006). In terms of purchasing, the franchisee is forced to purchase supplies and equipment from the franchisor...

...going to the correct doctor for your ailment. We would not go to an ophthalmologist for a foot injury, so why would you go to a fast food restaurant for mediocre food when you can choose to have a better quality meal. Knowing the business side behind the restaurant will also show why people want to start their restaurant and why it is still here today. Today you will see why Team C, prefers Subway for its healthier option of food and why owning a Subway is more advantageous than owning Cousin Subs. Subway is one of the top sandwich shops to eat at. It is healthier than other sub shops and it is also cheaper to own a Subway franchise than other sub shops. There are many pros and cons for Subway. It has great tasting food and a great option for healthier subs. Another pro for Subway is that customers can make their own sub, and see how the employee is making it. Some cons for Subway are some sandwiches do not have enough meat. Since the meat and veggies are out in the open this is another con, people believe it is not as sanitary as other sub shops. There are also pros and cons with owning a Subway. It is cheaper to get into a franchise than other sub shops. To get a Subway franchise started the fee is 15,000 dollars. After that it can cost anywhere from 100,000 dollars to 250,000 dollars to get the franchise open and ready to serve customers ("Buying a Fast Food Franchise", 2014).

...Should the Kings Stay In Sacramento? For many years, there has been an ongoing debate about moving the Sacramento Kings to Seattle and becoming the Supersonics. Although it may sound like a great idea, there are good and bad consequences that come with them moving or staying at either city. The reason for such a controversial debate revolves around money and fans. A group led by the investor Chris Hansen had a deal with the Kings owners with the idea of moving the team to Seattle. Once the idea became known by everyone, the debate grew. The cities of Seattle and Sacramento both want the NBA franchise for many reasons. Having an NBA franchise in Sacramento will help the economy and fans, and will keep the only professional sports team in Sacramento. The reason Seattle wants the Kings franchise is because it will benefit Seattle’s economy. The franchise will be playing the next couple of seasons in Key Arena, and, in the meantime, a new $490 million arena will be built in downtown Seattle. According to a column in the Bleacher Report, “The public will pay $200 million and that money will be paid back using ticket sales and rent money. If not, Hansen himself will be responsible” (Lingberg). Hansen is getting the public on his side by using them to get the Kings to come to Seattle. With the Kings becoming the Supersonics it will help boost Seattle’s economy by opening jobs at the new arena, the expenses that will be made at the arena, and all the Supersonic merchandise that will...

...Should College Athletes be Paid? Why should college athletes be paid or not? In this article it says, “Big time college football and basketball programs generate billions a year in TV and marketing contracts, tickets sales, and merchandising.” Why I choose this topic is because If the college players don't bring any money for the TV , tickets, and merchandising then that is wrong. They should, at least, have 10% of what they sell that has the player's last name on it .I am on the pro side why I am is because If a person buys an item that has something to do with them, then they should be paid a little amount of what the regular price is of the item. I am going to tell you a few Pros about college players getting paid. First of all, in the text it says, “ Big time college football and basketball programs generate billions a year.” My question is how does the franchise make billions a year.

...Legal Forms of Business Kaley Hutsell LAWP/531 Professor December 3, 2012 Legal Forms of Business When beginning a business there are several things to consider. The first consideration should be what form of business will be used. There are pro’s and con’s to each option and it is important that every angle is considered before making a decision. This paper will provide examples and reasons for choose sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, s corporation, franchise, and corporate form. Sole Proprietorship Rebecca wants to open a small town resale clothing shop. She has a small savings that can be used to pay the first three months rent and buy clothing from patrons to sell in her shop. With minimal legal paperwork required, typically nothing more than a small business license in the operating city, a sole proprietorship is the easiest way to go. Rebecca becomes the sole owner and does not require any input from others when making decisions regarding her business. The only negative to choosing this type of business is the fact that Rebecca also becomes personally liable for all business related activities, including losses and misconducts.

... This makes buying an established business a less risky venture and survival will be guaranteed. As a new owner of an established business you will already have well known established Suppliers and a license in place. One of the main reasons people buy an established business is that you will not have to pay out to buy equipment as it already comes installed with all the fixtures and fittings. Sometimes the seller may offer to work with you for a period of time which will help you as you get used to and acquainted with the business. However this there are also some disadvantages to this such as you will never know if you are buying into a business which is already at the end of the life or they may be flaws within the business which is why the seller is selling the business. Another disadvantage would be that customers may not stay with the business because of this change, which will make it harder for you to survive. In addition as a new owner you may be asked by the seller to pay a good will, which is an amount of money the new owner pays the seller if the business exceeds the assets. Although there are disadvantages I believe the advantages outweigh theses flaws. During my process of looking to invest in a business...
