Expanding your Company through Franchising

About the Episode

For those business owners in growth mode, this is a show for you.

Why are some types of businesses right for franchising? What are some of the criteria for a promising franchise business? Are you the kind of owner who can allow someone to come in and run one of your locations without your direct feedback, or do you have to have constant control?
