- What’s your advice to anyone buying a business? Research the company thoroughly. I conducted extensive analysis by comparing five different franchise opportunities, and Valenta came out on top. Talk to various people within the organization to understand the culture and ensure it aligns with your long-term business goals. Create a comprehensive business plan to guide your journey. Rely on your personal network, as it will be the main contributor to early success and momentum. If you have a good feeling about it, just jump in and go for it, being prepared for the commitment.
