Red Flags To Watch For
You don't know what you don't know, right? If you're new to franchising, there are many things you don't know, that you need to know. In the guide we provide you with ten red flags that will likely be evident right there at the expo booth when you ask the right questions.
20 Questions To Ask At The Expo
At the expo you'll see eye-catching booths, banners, promotional material and swag. You'll be given a quick pitch with all of the selling points. When a brand catches your eye, make sure you don't just listen to the pitch. Ask the questions that really matter. And we've given you those questions!
Why Working With a Broker Is Important
Many aspiring entrepreneurs begin the franchise evaluation process alone, with no inside information, coach, and advocate. The process takes longer, and there's a higher chance of making a decision you'll regret. In the guide we'll explain why working with a franchise consultant is your first pro move.
