I am in an area that has 0 Optical shops for at least a 30 mile radius. I am in the insurance field and have been for 10 years. I am very confident this will work as the area is growing rapidly. The problem is I don’t have much money to get started. I have started a business plan but I am not sure if this is necessary if I am considering a Franchise? Two questions, does anyone recommend a Franchise? Does anyway have any good advice to give on getting started? I would like to expedite this, as I am considered someone else will have the same idea soon.

Thank you!
