Take a franchise because the risk factor is much less as you will go for a well established brand and once you give the one off fee everymonth you just need to give 7-8% royality....to the franchisor. and there are many advantages like you will get a...

THIS CONCEPY WOULDNT WORK AS IT REQUIRE COMPANY READY TO BEAR HEAVY LOSSES IF FRADULENT PRACTICES HAD BEEN HAPPENDED IN CREDIT CARDS.
deepak patel  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
perhaps it might just work in india. for most of the people of india are middle class and really dont buy expensive stuff. but for 0% installments they will really do. but linkin only with icici bank will limit its benefits
