No business method or industry sector can guarantee success, and franchising is no exception.
If the franchise involves a proven product or service with a well recognised brand combined with hard-working, well financed franchisees, the chances of success are very high.
If, on the other hand, the franchisor is under-funded, with an ill conceived business idea that has not been tested properly and poorly recruited or trained franchisees, failure is likely.
The guidelines here are designed to assist you to ask the right questions, seek the right advice and ultimately make the right choice - remember, it is your investment that is at stake!
