Book Description
He tells you what to look out for, what questions to ask, and what agreements to make before signing a contract. And he offers a detailed anatomy of the most common types of fraud and abuse including Illusory Promises: The promise of training, guidance, and various forms of support; No Way Out: Contract provisions that can trap you for life, making it impossible for you to ever leave the system; Rigged for Failure: How some greedy franchisors oversaturate the market, and worse, how and why many franchisors often deliberately rig their franchises for failure; and Caveat Emptor: Why franchisees who are customers of licensors rather than their distributors are usually victims. But the picture isn't all dark. Robert Purvin also guides you to the best franchising opportunities now available, and tells you how to take full advantage of them.
