Do You Need a College Degree to Succeed as a Franchisee?

How many times have you used the Pythagoras theorem in your life? They said it was important! Important or not, one thing became quite clear over time: academic studies do not always help in several fields as it requires different forms of creativity, knowledge, and study rather than degree and academics.


Most of us have made business plans in our past, be it on a serious note or just as a playful future planning with our best friend. Thinking about it seriously, ‘what qualifies one to start a business? There are no fixed parameters for that. However, there certainly are a few tricks to make a business successful.


Starting from scratch is always difficult; coming with the label and popularity, what better way to enter business than become a franchise owner? New franchisees don’t struggle as much as entirely new businesses.

While looking out for a franchisor, a point of concern is considering a college degree, as it naturally adds weight to one’s profile. But, if the question is, ‘do you need a college degree to succeed as a franchisee?’ The answer would be straight ‘NO.’


Business is all about tactics and the ability to be an entrepreneur, none of which can be taught in college. One can start the franchisee if one has sufficient business knowledge (not only the bookish one). However, a degree might help in understanding a little about business; most of the part concerns the entrepreneur’s ability to explore.


A college degree is not necessary to become a successful businessperson, and it might help get some academic knowledge and information. However, skills can only be learned and worked upon, which is the most important requirement of being a businessperson.
