Choose a franchise that appeals to you, and research how exactly that franchise is run. [Possible sources you can refer to: The Franchise Mall www.thefranchisemall.com; Canadian Franchise Directory www.canadianfranchisedirectory.ca; Canadian Franchise Association www.cfa.ca; Be The Boss www.betheboss.ca; in addition to visiting the company's own website and/or the physical store.] Look specifically at the costs and fees, what the franchisor provides, what the franchisor requires of the franchisee, and any restrictions the agreement imposes on the franchisee.
Answer the following questions based on your research: 1) What parts of the franchise agreement appeal to you, and which parts do you think could cause problems? 2) What would you do to overcome any potential problems?"
