Franchising

 My husband and I have the dream of purchasing a franchise. It is a Guatemalan company called Al Macarone which is pizza and pasta. We want to open the restaurant in a city called Coban that is located in the north of our country. Some years ago I researched what a franchise was and the requirements to owning one. The first thing that we need is money. The cost to start up a business is usually high. This week I learned more about the advantages and disadvantages of owning a franchise. If someone has enough money it is a good way to low risks in starting a new business.

               I have learned a lot about owning a business. During the past weeks I have been selling homemade banana bread. It was a hard process looking for clients and making my best to reach my goal $100.00 this money will be donated to KIVA they make loans to small entrepreneurs form around the world. I have decided to help a woman from Guatemala. I live in Guatemala and I know how hard can be for some people to make a living. I was really motivated form the beginning of the project because it is something that I am doing to help others. It has been a great lesson.  It feels good to do something with the unique purpose to help others.
