What are the company’s core values and purpose? What support systems does the franchisor have set up for franchisees? How many transfers and/or closures has the franchise experienced and why? What technology does the company have in place to create efficiencies (and ultimately profitability) for franchisees?   Learn the answers you’ll want to hear to know you’re making a sound, informed franchise buying decision.
