Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Bill Schreiber discuss the following:
- With nearly 800,000 franchise businesses in the US, being a part of a larger brand is big business. Before someone enters into a development agreement what are some of the questions you urge your prospects to ask themselves?
- Ok, so say I want to be right there in the trenches day in and day out. What are some other considerations before jumping into franchising?
- Are there some real financial considerations to opening a franchise. What type of capital is required to open one?
- Are there still franchising opportunities in the US with Church’s Chicken or is all the growth happening overseas?
- What additional advice can you offer entrepreneurs that are considering investing into a franchise system?
