Unit 2 skillS Better alone? I s it better to be self-employed and control your own destiny, to work for a boss in a hair salon or to set up a franchise? There are pros and cons in each situation. If you work as a sole trader, you are responsible for taxes and liabilities and you have to take all the economic risks, but you can make your own decisions and you can run your business independently. If you work for someone s salon, you report to a boss, but you can get your monthly salary regularly and have no financial responsibilities. Finally, you can set up a franchise: you have the right to use a trademark and benefit from its business system (design of the salon, working techniques, promotion and merchandising, training of employees, etc.), but you have to pay your franchisor a fee and a percentage on the turnover. However, you can also start as an employee and then, if you want, you can set up your own business or join a franchise chain. 3 Who says what? A sole trader (ST), an employee (E) or a franchisee (F)?
