1Advantages: possibility of a higher return on your investment than fixed interest rates would yield. Long-term shares always outperform inflation. Disadvantages: if the companies you have shares in don’t perform well or go bankrupt, you could lose a lot or all of your money. Have to invest time and effort reading the business press to find out what events could affect the share price and react accordingly.

1Franchises differ considerably. In some, for example, a uniform is mandatory; in others, there is a great deal of flexibility.
2Answers will vary.
3There are many good reasons for choosing a franchise: the risk of failure is a lot less if the company and the product are already well-established. The product has already been launched, tested and probably comes in a standardized version. However, many people would argue against choosing a franchise, mainly because you can lose a lot of autonomy. Some contracts could tie you in for a long time e.g. 20 years.
4Businesses where there is no standard product would be unlikely to work as a franchise, e.g. a consultancy company.
