Franchise Or Not I Know What I am Looking To Buy

I have taking further steps to purchase a carpet cleaning business. The business has what I am looking for. It is simply to understand the business and business concept. It a nutshell, you clean carpet. Your job is to hire good people, reduce operation cost and improve marketing

I will be meeting with a couple of the members of the company over the next couple of days to get a better idea of the business. Plus, I will be going over the P&L statements to make sure that the company is making money and has room to grown.

My one concern is the fact that the business is a franchise. I am not "wild" about working someone else's system or about having to buy equipment from the head company. I will look more into the pros and cons of being a franchisee.

If I choose not to be a franchisee and buy this business, I will continue to look for business's that "fall under the radar." I like simple businesses that are easy to understand...janitorial, carpet cleaning, window washing etc.
