Franchise Basics: How Much Does A Franchise Cost?
When you google the cost of a franchise, oftentimes what pops up is simply the franchise fee, which can range anywhere from $1,000 to $80,000 or more. However, that’s just the fee to be a part of the franchise system.The total cost of a franchise, and therefore what you’ll need to invest, includes many other expenses. These expenses are listed in a chart (Item 7) of a brand’s Franchise Disclosure Document, but you can usually find them online as well if you look hard enough.

Industry Insight
How Millennials Are Shaping Americas Coffee Culture
Millennials get a lot of labels, but one that doesn’t often make the headlines is “coffee influencer.” There are 75 million members of this generation, and according to the National Coffee Association, more than 60% of them drink coffee on a daily basis. For those counting, that’s 45 million cups of coffee every day at MINIMUM, assuming only one drink per person, just for this generation alone. It’s easy to see why this population is so influential in America’s changing coffee culture.

Franchisors Outsourcing Franchise Sales: Is It A Red Flag?

Franchise Basics
Franchise Basics: Who makes what decisions in a franchise?
A common myth about franchising is that franchisees don’t have any freedom in their business. While they may have less freedom than an independent business owner, there is still room for innovation within a franchise system, and any restrictions in place are usually for the benefit of the franchisee.

In this last post, we’re going to tackle the final (and most complex) of the five pillars.
