Debunking 6 Myths of Franchising
Thinking about owning your own business but unsure where to start? At RGIS, we understand that taking the first step toward franchise ownership can feel overwhelming — especially with so many misconceptions about what it really takes to succeed. The truth is, becoming an RGIS Franchise Partner doesn’t require huge capital, a large team, or years of experience. With our proven business model, operational support, and global reputation, you can build a profitable business with confidence. Let’s debunk six of the most common myths about franchising — and show you how RGIS makes business ownership more achievable than you might think.
MYTH 1: High capital is required to start
You can find your own path into business and achieve a full startup speed with limited and reasonable investment on the basis of simple operations and minimal operating costs.
MYTH 2: You need to have a lot of staff
If you can´t afford to have a high payroll at a first stage, don’t worry. You will be able to invest in workforce as your customer and your business size increase.
MYTH 3: Franchise means huge operational costs
Obviously, you will have to face fix costs to run the activity but those will dilute in your balance sheet as you conquer more customers and grow your revenues. Experience and productivity that you can quickly gain also helps to reduce costs.
MYTH 4: You’ll work 9 to 5 again
Franchises give you flexibility. If you’re a parent, or if you just want to work early in the morning or only in the evening, no problem. You set and follow your own schedule as long as you are reliable and capable.
MYTH 5: You will be alone
Franchise parent companies offer face-to-face training, business and operations monitoring and support. You are never alone. You join a community that invests in your success, because if you do well, they do well too.
MYTH 6: You must be an expert in the job
Many of the Franchisees were not experts in the business they chose. And yet, many built successful businesses because franchising gives you all the tools and support to succeed, as long as you deploy personal engagement. Franchisors offer training from day one and a business model that works.
Franchising with RGIS is more than just starting a business — it’s joining a trusted global brand with decades of expertise in inventory solutions, technology, and operational excellence. As these myths show, success in franchising isn’t about having the most money, staff, or experience; it’s about choosing the right partner and being committed to growth.
