Franchise business clarification

Dear members,

I was wondering how does a franchise business work with the entrepreneur visa. I heard mixed things regarding the subject.

Some people say its better to apply for the visa with a new business and once you get it you can open a franchise. Is this a better way instead of applying with a franchise business directly from the beginning?

Second question. Will I face any problems when I get to the extension period if I opened a franchise business?

Your responses are highly appreciated.
