This book identified the qualities of a good franchise. This is a must read -- it is worth the investment in time and money!

This is an excellent franchise book. It is very comprehensive and broad book with a lot of examples. It is written in a clear and easy to understand way. MUST BUY.

This book is about the business of selling franchises. It's about how the franchise sellors make money by selling, and by collecting fees, from the work of others. It shows you how they support this money machine with minimal risk to themselves and maximum risk to you. All they want to do is collect your money and have you either go away, be hog tied by their contracts, or be shut up by their laywers. It is not about how this industry is set up for your benefit. I bought this book because I was thinking of getting involved a franchise. I had reasonable amount of money to spend and they all seemed to love me. At least untill I started using the information in this book. Somehow they all drifted off. Alas! Alack! Was it something I said? More like the things I wanted to know first. This book will teach you how to protect yourself before you invest. It highlights the hidden holes in contracts, informs you about the one sided (not yours) legal system of franchising, and bluntly points out how you're on your own. I'll bet you didn't even know that they're not required to give you information on failure rates, or, how they're calculated. Ask them the hard questions contained in this book. If you get good answers to your questions, and they're still around after you get them, find me.
A " MUST BUY" if you are thinking of a franchise. April 22, 1998

This book delivers all that is promised on the cover. Mr. Purvis is the devil's advocate for franchising. Written in clear, standard english, this book will open the eyes of anyone who has touched the franchise sales frenzy currently in vogue. Read the publishers notes/review that are available in this database. THEN BUY THIS BOOK. If you decide you don't need it; "Caveat Emptor".
