Product Description
Anyone starting or investing in a business needs a realistic idea of how much they can expect to make. Now in its eighth edition, this indispensable guide enables prospective franchisees to establish a solid basis on which to make these critical financial projections. It contains historical sales, expense, and/or profit data for actual franchise operations, from the McDonald’s and Burger Kings of the world to newer, smaller franchises with only a few operating units. Over 105 earnings claim statements, prepared by the franchisors themselves, are included for 45 major industry categories. Since franchisors are not allowed to make, or even discuss, any financial projections other than those published in their uniform franchise offering circulars, this hard-to-find data is especially useful to the individual investor. Also included are comprehensive, up-to-date company profiles, detailed worksheets, and the author's insights into making meaningful financial projections.

 Did the best with what they got December 5, 2001
44 out of 45 found this review helpful
Basically youll get very little information about owning a franchise. Some decent figures are in there (but I am sure could be found elsewhere on the internet).What you will get is some type of financial statements for franchises that provide them. There is nothing special in this book! Most franchises do not provide financial information, so most of the franchises in here are no name franchises you probably haven't heard of (some are recognizable though). Also they do not all follow the same format. Looks like the author took the information the franchiser sent and just reprinted it. You will not necessarly find cash flow in all of them. Some may just show expenses, etc. Overall I was disappointed. All the information in this book could be obtained directly from the franchiser. For example if your interested in buying a dairy queen and dairy queen wont give you any financial information, dont expect this book to have it. I found the "How to buy a good business at a great price" book (...) much more valuable. (...)
Too Superficial to be beneficial July 17, 2001
This book can either be good or very bad depending upon what you want out of it. If you are looking for a book to help you strategically help you decide upon which franchise that would be most suitable and profitable for you, then skip this one. This book will best serve those people who are at the very beginning of thinking about openning up a franchise. In fact, those people may even be disappointed as well. This book gives a very quick synopsis on the different franchises available. There is very little differentiation between the different franchising, with the exception of product type. For example, you can examine the different pizza franchises, but don't get enough information about which franchises are best. So, if you are looking for just a few thumbnail sketches at the highest level, then you will probably enjoy this book. If you are looking for something more, then keep looking.
