If you face difficulties on the job you can easily turn to the support network, that is, the franchisor who can guide you and help you out.
• While you do need the basic gardening knowledge to start a gardening business, it is not necessary that you have the business experience for it if you're planning on purchase of a gardening franchise. The franchisor provides the basic training to help you run the business according to the set model.
