At this stage, it is invaluable for you as a perspective franchisee to meet as many of the existing franchisees as possible. By doing so will help support your analysis and confirm your conclusions on the franchise opportunity.
The best way to achieve this is by work shadowing the franchisees for a number of days. Or, if you prefer, fix a meeting to discuss any queries you have face-to-face.
Franchisee Stories
As part of your due diligence, a good recommendation is to attend a franchise seminar . This will not only arm you with all the necessary information involved in becoming a franchisee, but you'll also hear and pick up pearls of wisdom from existing franchisees – giving you a genuine insight into types of backgrounds franchisees come from, why and how they chose their franchise, the prior and on-going support you can expect to receive from an ethical franchise system and any problems/challenges they faced in the process.
