                    [Summary] => Sure Venture Group of Companies, Inc. had an unusual start-up problem. It had  a nice business location and no product to sell.


"My husband, Jason, and I saw this  place in a high pedestrian traffic area, which was being rented out. We quickly leased the place and, with the meter running, we had to decide what to sell," said general manager Rosemarie Lee. "Among our options was putting up a photo finishing shop, mainly because I  have been collecting pictures of my family and friends since childhood  and I was hoping there were many more like me out there."

                    [Summary] => More and more successful businesses are into expansion via franchising, which has proven to be the best way to widen one‘s market reach and attain even bigger economies of scale.


Even more in number are the entrepreneurs and enterprising Filipinos who find franchising the safest way to go into business, and are doing just that.


The reason is glaring. The success rate for entrepreneurs who engage in franchising is 97 percent as against the three percent for those who set up entirely new businesses.
