Does anyone run a FRANCHISE?? (namechangers welcome)

How does it work?

Did you need to have a big start up capital yourself?

Do you get any help and support from the "mother brand"?

We did - wouldn't do it again

I know some people make it work, but other companies make their money from the start up fees so when franchisees fail they say, "Oh dear" and re-advertise your area......

£30k later, we could have had a year off doing nothing spending that!

However, I am sure there are a lot happier stories, and I am just cynical. Sorry.
