Advantages Of GenCorp's Franchise Business Model GenCorp franchising gives individuals the opportunity to go into business for themselves with an excellent chance of success at a minimum of risk. Starting a new business from scratch is inherently risky. Most studies conclude that over 90% fail within 3 to 5 years. In comparison, U.S. Dept of Commerce studies have shown that over 92% of franchised businesses are still operating after 5 years.
