Franchising

I'm a very new business owner where I'm at in town and my long term goal is to franchise my business. I just need some more information on it though like

1. What does it take to franchise?

2. Should I get a small business loan or investors?

3. What are common problems franchise owners face?

4. Where should I start?!
