Ask before you sign
- Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
- Ask for every upfront payment in writing — deposit, onboarding, equipment or stock — and which parts are refundable.
- Ask exactly how your margin or commission is calculated, when it's paid, and whether the brand can change it.
