Which Business is best for you?

This exhibit reviews and compares the risk elements associated with each choice. The degree of self satisfaction and ego gratification associated with each choice has not been addressed although it must be acknowledged that these factors are perhaps the strongest motivators for business ownership. In this regard, start ups provide the highest degree of satisfaction and gratification and buy outs perhaps the least with franchises somewhere in the middle. Interestingly, most business observers and our own experience indicates that start ups, albeit the most satisfying choice, have the poorest chances for success.
