Starting an independent business requires a lot of effort and the risks associated with the business lay strictly on the shoulders of the individual starting the business. Others are working independently but with the advice, help and encouragement of experts who know the pros and cons of the business, thus lending a helping hand whenever required. This is referred to as franchising. Franchising is a great way to start your own business. You own your independent business, have set guidelines to follow, and can receive the necessary help when required. When you buy a franchise the advantage is that it provides you with a replica of a tried and tested business system which has worked. The rest is up to you how to set the business and keep it going and growing. This is a responsibility you would have to undertake even as an independent business. The only disadvantage in an independent business is that you do not have a support system or help in case if you falter or go wrong. As an IBO of ITV Ventures, you will have many of the advantages of a franchisee. But there there are some differences! Read on to learn more! |

There are a number of problem solving techniques used by different management schools of thought. A SWOT analysis can be used by a company, as well as an IBO, to identify any problems that exist and methods to solve them. A SWOT analysis is a powerful technique to understand your Strengths and Weaknesses and look out for the Opportunity and Threats faced by you or the company.
Business SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats) analysis can help you understand the business better and help you manage or eliminate threats that exist to succeed in your business ventures. In a business context you can create innovative ideas to carve a niche for yourself in the market.
