 When to Run From Your Franchise Broker by Marc Stephens

 

 
 

 If you search the Web for articles and advice on using a franchise broker, you will quickly find article after article putting them down; claiming they steer you in the wrong direction, that they only show you their franchise, etc. etc. As a franchise broker I find most of these articles rather insulting, but as I watch more and more fellow franchise brokers operate, I am forced to realize that these opinions do not exist without merit.
 
 
 
 Looking for a Franchise? Consider Purchasing an Existing Franchise

If you're thinking of purchasing a new franchise, you may want to consider purchasing an existing franchise. Statistics indicate that, on average, a typical business changes ownership every four years. Franchised businesses are a part of this universe, and studies undertaken by the business brokerage industry report that franchised businesses follow the same pattern. Here are some things to keep in mind before purchasing an existing franchise.
 
 

Franchisor Leadership

The Single Most Important Factor

By Greg Nathan

 
 
There have been hundreds of theories and books written on what constitutes effective leadership. My work with many franchise companies, both good and not so good, has led me to the conclusion that effective leadership is the single most important factor in the long-term success of a franchise network. When you strip away the apparent cause of every significant achievement or problem there is always one driving force -- effective leadership or lack of it.
