The guides aim to improve people's understanding of franchising and help them decide if an opportunity is fair, ethical and right for them. There are many sources of information on franchising including websites, books, DVDs and magazines. Where the bfa guides are unique is in offering all of this information in one place. The guides include content such as:-
What are the questions you should be asking yourself? How should you go about assessing franchisors? What will franchisors be looking for in you?
It is vital that you carry out thorough research on the franchise market and the industries you may be interested investing in.
