you pay for them, run them as if you ran a.. Food... Business. Why wouldn't it be? Would you be a business man if you owned a floral shop? Or a bank? What about a law firm?

In order to be a "business owner", you must own a business.

Think about it and come back in a few years.

I think about it like this: if you own a franchise or rental properties (commercial or residential) then you're a different kind of business owners. You have a business model already worked out for you basically by blue print, but you have to defend that shit. In my city the local franchise/commercial property owners have lobbied the city to effectively keep out food trucks that could compete with their businesses. They have to stay on top of that shit, so they have a different set of obligations than, say, the guy who opened up his own Mexican restaurant downtown and has grown them into a small chain of local restaurants. He's worried about his business model and margins, you're worried about keeping out rival developers and businesses.

In the eyes of who? Government? Then yes, if the business license in issued to your company and if you are the one paying sales tax, why wouldn't you be the owner? But in the eyes of yourself? You are just running the store for the corporate and getting your commission from sales. I've been in both sides for years and still am.

of course you are a business owner but with a franchise you wont be an "entrepreneur"...

eBay business isn't a franchise like the related images.

it is just one of the various marketplaces that a business can sell on.

there are some dropship/whitelabel companies that trick poor cucks into paying them membership fees for the privilege of being able to market their stuff on ebay for like 2$ a sale...

Fuck prestige, get money.

And much less obvious, Starbucks does not franchise either; all stores are corporate. The closest would be the licensed stores like Target, Kroger, airport, etc, and corporate is still very involved in those.

You'd be a franchise owner, kinda like a store manager.

The real business owner is the CEO

Maybe in US but not Finland (this I'm sure off) and maybe the rest of Europe
