Instruments, inventory as well as stationery?
Do you need help finding premises for a business?

Does it come with a how-to manual that you can see before you buy?
Within the franchise system, have some locations failed, and how was that handled?

II. Your projections can be affected by thoroughly researching the market, including location, incomes, and the product and buying trends.

III. As far as possible take advice from the British Franchise Association and professional advisors. Speaking with existing franchisees to obtain an insider’s opinion about the company. Make sure the organization gives you a complete list of all their franchises, not just those that are doing well.

IV. Take advice from the British Franchise Association and also professional advisors like banks, BFA-affiliated lawyers, accountants and business advisors.

V. Understand your strengths as well as weaknesses, and see if your franchiser is going to help you by training you or in any other way.

IX. If you can, settle your differences among yourselves. This usually costs less than going to court. Before resorting to the court system, look at ADR options.

X. Give yourself a way out. You will need to be sure that an exit strategy exists for both you and your franchise agreement. Quite often it is the marketing of the business. Research:

What kind of franchises offer the top dollar at resale?

Does the agreement include what will happen in case of death or a permanent disability? Your will should be updated to include all of your instructions.

From the beginning you should have a clear picture of what your goals are. Is your plan to sell your business in the future or do you want a family member to inherit it someday?
