Bill Redfern: Starting a Franchise Business

Franchising is a unique business model that allows business owners to reach far more customers and generate substantially more revenue than they would by following traditional models. The concept has been around for nearly 50 years, and has proven time and time again to work.

But becoming a successful franchisor is not easy. Transforming a business idea into a recognizable brand name can be a long and complicated process, and typically involves sizable upfront costs. However, if a business is franchised correctly, it can expand at an enormous rate and that expansion will cost significantly less than if the company itself purchased and operated new units.

Comparing The IPhone 5 With The IPhone 5c

In recent years, Apple has been able to improve the performance of every subsequent reincarnation of their iPhone, whilst simultaneously preserving (and occasionally lengthening) the battery life. The newly introduced iPhone 5c keeps up this tradition. FCC documentation has revealed that the iPhone 5c battery capacity is roughly 5% greater than that of the iPhone 5. Although FCC disclosures can be notoriously inaccurate in the reporting of battery capacities, these numbers do appear to be believable. The figures corroborate the statement made by Apple at the keynote earlier in the week, concerning the increase in size of the 5c battery.
