I get so many questions about franchises that when I had the
opportunity to interview business-buying expert Art Hamel about franchising, I jumped at the chance! I send out
an email to my entire list about the upcoming interview and asked people to email their questions so that I
could pose them to Art during the interview.
At the beginning of the interview, you’ll hear how Art got started in franchising in the mid 1960’s.
Since then, he’s been both a franchisee as well as a franchiser.
This audio is a goldmine for anyone who is considering buying a franchise! Art gives a down-to-earth,
honest opinion of each question. You won’t want to miss listening to how his years of experience has
truly made him an expert in franchising.
Here are just a few of the questions:
Why should a person consider buying a franchise as opposed to buying an existing
business?
What type of person should buy a franchise
opportunity from?
What type of person absolutely shouldn’t buy a franchise?
Are there federal regulations to prevent fraud in the franchise business? If so,
where can I obtain information on this subject?
If I’m set on buying certain franchise
opportunities, what types of research should I do before making my final decision?
Do all businesses charge their franchisees monthly franchise fees? Are franchise fees regulated by the government?
What do I get in return for paying the fee?
Is it wise to start my franchise in “virgin territory” wise? This would be some area of the country where there are no
other franchises like mine.
How many hours per week will I have to spend when I’m first starting up my
franchise?
Is buying a restaurant franchise, such as McDonald’s, a good idea?
Do I have any recourse against the parent company if my franchise is a failure?
Art doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to telling it like it really is! I know that you
will enjoy this 40 minute interview that contains such a wealth of information about franchising!
