by Ron Kurtus (11 April 2009)

Take this Mini-Quiz to check your understanding of the lesson material.

1. What is the biggest risk in starting up a new business?

Your assumption of the demand for your product or service may be invalid

Someone will steal your idea

You will have to be the boss over your employees

2. Why do people often buy a franchise?

They hope to steal the ideas, so they can start a competing business

Most often they don't know why they took the step

They see it as a easy way to own a viable and profitable business

3. What risk is there in buying an existing business?

The existing customers may not like your personality

There may be hidden problems that are motivating the owners to sell

Wal-Mart may open a store next door
