Taking Up a Franchise

An explanation of what franchising means, this book takes the reader step-by-step through the process of examination, evaluation and choice. A typical franchise contract is included, so the terms can be inspected. Legal and taxation aspects are also considered. Information is provided on around 90 franchises currently available, and separate indexes list them by investment level, type of business, number of outlets, etc. Sources of further information, addresses of professional advisers, and a list of members of the British Franchise Association are also provided.
