I'm going to throw a cat amongst the pigeons here,re franchising,think I might be missing the point.but you buy a franchise for x amount of thousands,that is then branded by the franchise owner,so basically your promoting there bussiness name along with that you have to give them a percentage of what you earn.
Would it not be better to promote your own business and business name,keep all what you earn,then if you want to sell your business you keep all the money.
Am I correct it what I am thinking,or is there a big chest of gold that I can't see if you go down the franchise route
