It's no secret that entrepreneurs have a strong impulse to build companies from the ground up.

However, a business purchase is nearly always the smarter ownership option.

Consider Franchising

The chances of becoming a successful entrepreneur are greatly increased if you become a franchisee rather than going it alone.

If you are thinking about opening a mortgage refinancing business, a smart move is to investigate whether franchise opportunities in your space might help you avoid common entrepreneurial mistakes.
