Do’s and Don'ts for Franchisees

Do your homework. Before you hand over any money, talk to other franchisees within the group and ask about their experiences. Don't accept franchises offered to you by the franchiser - instead ask for a list and pick your own.If this is a new franchise, be especially careful - has it been adequately piloted and over a sufficient period?Find out what the initial fee covers, what the continuing management fees are, how much working capital you need, whether the profit and loss projections are realistic, and what assistance you can get to prepare a business plan.

DON’T
  • Hurry. Short-cutting your research can increase your likelihood of failure.
  • Over-extend, or be optimistic about your personal finances.Be realistic, and if anything,conservative.
  • Skip consulting professionals.Saving on fees may deprive you of information critical to making a good decision.
  • Settle. Get the business that you want, not the first one that comes along.
  • Take anyone’s word. Find out for yourself. It’s your money, your risk and your
  • opportunity. You know mbest what you need, so investigate first hand.

  • Evaluate yourself as compared to other franchisees that you meet and talk to. You make a difference! Make sure you’re comfortable with what you have to do.
  • Read and understand the sales literature, Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), etc. Know all the terms of your agreement.
