I have a milk tea business and I acquired it through franchising. It was not hard to apply and the fee was just enough for me to afford. I spent more or less $ 1,500. I hired two staff to do the cashiering and the mixing of tea and ingredients. I rented a small space in the mall. I am happy to say, that I profit from my small business. The two people I hired were trained before they started to work with me. I plan to open another milk tea branch next year. Do you plan to operate a business through franchising?
