“Purchasing a franchise is a major investment decision and researching your opportunities is a critical part of the decision-making process,” says CFA President and Chief Executive Officer Lorraine McLachlan. “Prospective franchisees should be sure to speak with franchisors and franchisees as part of their investigation process.”
Some starting questions to ask are:
· What makes a franchise system successful?
· How much money will I make?
· How do I know which franchise opportunity is right for me?
· How does the franchisor choose franchisees? How are qualifications reviewed?
· Does the franchisor choose the location or does the franchisee?
The Franchise Show is a unique way for prospective franchisees to directly obtain information from franchisors. With well over 100 booths of Canada’s best-known brands, this franchise-only tradeshow provides a venue for attendees to get their questions answered as well as obtain invaluable, up-to-date information about the many franchise opportunities available.
