I did try to find good articles or answers to this question online, but I couldn’t. My question is basically about the process of researching & maybe surveying a specific location in order to come up with a shortlist of–say–one to three business types that would be ideal to start or open particularly in that spot. So you’re not looking for a franchise to buy or a prime location, no, you actually already have a location or property and you’re trying to find the most ideal types of business or service/product provider that you can start or open in it. What are the (research) companies that provide such a service and maybe survey the population in the immediate vicinity of a certain spot? And what are the companies that would already have valuable intelligence to use for this purpose? What are these companies called? What are some keywords that can help me find more info online? I don’t think simply “research companies” will do it. Can you recommend books? Many thanks for your help.

Just going from restaurant to restaurant especiallly the ones that I like and know are popular to everyone I wonder how much money its pulling in. Also like to think about how the owner got about buying his business and how long it took him to start seeing profits. I know location is important, so lets say its a good location. What would be the income a typical McDonalds/StarBucks/Any popular franchise/ owner is pulling in…Are most businesses first financed by a group of people who split the overhead fees and than later on split the profits because it seems a down payment could be very expensive. McDonalds would be expensive because its really big, how much would you have to save up if you wanted to start a subway for example? Probably look at having enough money saved up so that the first 8 months are so of property rent/paying employees/product cost are taken care of.. Thanks for the information
So if you were to start a unfranchised business, one that you came up with yourself… ie (custom computers building/Fitness Gym/Daycare).. besides payroll/products just the renting of the location at for instance a shopping mall or a shopping center how much would you need a month typically. I heard that its harder if you try to get a bank to finance something that is not a franchise, or you have to have a really good business plan laid out.

I did home-based child daycare at one point when I was homeschooling my daughter. I’m currently a classroom teacher and am quite happy with it, but still think that eventually I’d like to leave the classroom. In looking at options, I’ve always enjoyed childcare and working with kids. I was thinking of one day opening my own daycare center. Does anyone know if it’s beneficial to buy a franchise or am I better off flying solo?
