Many workers-in-transition are buying business franchises but lack the sales skills necessary for success Many workers, some of which have been laid off, start a home business or buy a business franchise without first acquiring the necessary sales skills. The result can be perilous. A typical home business or franchise costs the owner $50,000 in acquisition and start-up costs. New research (May 2005) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that most failures of American startups occur in the first two years. A Wells Fargo/ National Federation of Independent Business study estimated that 60% of new companies either break even or lose money Many failures could be prevented if the owner could just generate enough sales.
