Franchise Mantra Proven System tells you to avoid these mistakes:
- Do not assume ‘franchising.’
- Don’t get started with a P&L Sheet & A return on Investment document for a franchisee.
- Do not copy & paste bits and pieces from similar successful franchise models.
- Hiring Franchise Managers and Employees will only ensure that you get their perspective of franchising.
- To design the franchise agreement needs more than a lawyer.
- Never start with a lawyer, have a complete strategy in place before you even think of getting a legal consultant.
- If you have never franchised your business before, it’s not easy to do so.
- Being a Franchisee is much different than running a franchise company.
