A business opportunity, in the simplest form, is the sale or lease of a product or service that enables the purchaser to start their own business. It is not a franchise and it is not an independent business because the licensor (seller) assists the licensee (purchaser) in finding a suitable location to sell the product or service. </div> <div> </div> <div class="c1"> Business Opportunities and Traditional Franchises </div> <div> A business opportunity is different from a traditional franchise because it doesn&#39;t involve a trademark and the licensor (seller) offers location assistance. A business opportunity offers a lower fee than a franchise and doesn&#39;t include royalty payments, but business opportunities may receive less training and marketing support. Business opportunities also are less time demanding than a franchise. </div> <div class="c1"> </div> <div class="c1"> Protecting Yourself from Fraudulent Business Opportunities </div> <div> If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
