Things to consider before buying a cruise related franchise
If you are planning on obtaining a Cruise Franchise' you need to first understand what a franchise is all about and weigh its pros and cons.

A franchise is a business which is already established in the market and has made a name for itself and is willing to allow other businesses to enter into a contract to run an establishment servicing the same products with the same name' for a fee' according to the stipulated rules and regulations and usually with the franchisor’s guidance.

Some of the salient points to consider when buying a Cruise Franchise are:

• How well do you know this industry? It is vital to be thorough on the industry as well as the organization that you represent.

• How good is the location from where you plan to sell the cruises from. Is it easily accessible and what is the security situation of the area concerned. Is the environment conducive for the product?

• How is the market segment in the area you plan to sell cruises? Are they economically sound and have disposable money to splurge on cruises or are you trying to market this product in an area where people are economically disadvantaged and are fighting to survive with a cruise being far from their thoughts. An economic market survey of the geographical area where you plan to do business will give you a fair idea of whether or not your product is marketable.

• You also need to consider the cost versus profitability taking into consideration the fees payable to the franchise holder and whether royalties are payable over and above the cut off point if indicated in your contract. Make a proposed budget to see where you would go with your venture. Remember to add an advertising cost as it will be necessary to market your product in the area you wish to work' though the product has already been established the public may be unaware that they are now in this area.

• How established is the franchise holder. If the franchise holder’s credibility is at stake then this is bound to reflect your own credibility. It is important to find out from every aspect whether the franchise holding organization is financially sound and financially credible. These two important factors need to be addressed to gain the confidence of travelers as most people do not want to use facilities or organizations that they cannot trust.

• Check the franchise holder’s track record as there is likely to be claims from unsatisfied clients who have to be refunded if their claim is justified or if there is anything else that has tarnished the image of the franchise holder. These are important aspects to gain the trust and confidence of prospective travelers.

• Check all the legal implications that are to be incorporated into your contract by the franchise holder and make sure that you are not exposed to unusual risks. Your attorney should go through all the legal documentation before you make any commitment.

Consider all the factors and make your decision wisely.
