It’s very difficult to say what a reasonable fee is when different systems have completely different fee levels that are dependent on a variety of factors. The best part is that when you have found out the charge is on, sit down in peace and quiet and try to calculate what it will give back the money.

No. SFF does not have any standard. This is to all the contracts are individual and must be made up by just the current needs of the company. However, check our checklist before the franchise agreement that one can follow a recommendation.

Yes and No. The strength of franchising lies in the unity that makes customers feels at home. But of course both can and should take the initiative in the concept’s frame.

No franchisors want to try to force the remaining franchisees that do not thrive. First try of course to see where the problems are and solve them together. But if this fails should be separated in a way that is best for all concerned – think of the customers.

How much anywhere – profit is the franchisee. But there is also the risk, which is included in every deal.

Yeah – but only with the franchisor’s permission. It is the sensor that should live together with the buyer, perhaps for many years. He must get a chance to evaluate your buyers as partners.

All franchisors are keen that it goes well for their franchisees. Of course – it’s best advertisement for the system. The contract is a long list of everything that the donor will be responsible for: name and profile, product development, marketing, training and information, administrative help, perhaps the flow of goods. An important task is to ensure that franchisees are allowed to exchange experiences and tips with each other.

Yes, franchising requires a free and open exchange not only between the franchisor and the franchisee individuals but also between these peer. It facilitates life to exchange goods, services and advice. And franchisor will be happy if he has franchisees that recognize that they have the right and obligation to demand their franchise centre.

Ask, ask, ask. Question us, ask franchisees already in the system, question bank, municipal business advisors. And do not forget to ask yourself if you want to work hard long week and take responsibility for your own life instead of being an employee.

Ask to get as much information as possible by the franchisor. Set also “uncomfortable” questions and ask to see financial calculations. Call around to other franchisees in the system. Search rather too much than too little! Also if they are members of some franchisee Association.

Before you Reflections on big money. Many franchisees have good incomes and many have sold their franchises for a million or more. But more common is that you have to work hard for quite a while for a moderate income. If someone wants you to believe otherwise, was sceptical!

Know you better yourself. But your franchisor also knows quite well what kind of man he is looking for. Do not be cracked if you get no – maybe’s long experience saved you from a serious mistake.

Refrain then. An entrepreneur’s life requires a family who understand what entrepreneurship means: sometimes long hours, often stressful, always exciting.
