The bad news is the reduction in available capital due to losses incurred in the market for investors who were relying on those funds to invesst in a franchise. What do you think?

Franchising your company
There is a legal process that is governed by the FTC as well as the States, along with a marketing and operational difference from the typical single entity. Not all successful businesses become successful franchisors. Like the UConn Huskies-it takes a good team along with a good coach to help them become the best at what they do. Acadia Business Advisors is the coach to the team that wants to build their franchise system.

Franchise vs Business License/Opportunity
What's the difference? To paraphrase the FTC which oversees franchise regulations, a franchise includes 3 elements for which you need 2 to qualify as a franchise.
1. A license to use a trademark or brand.
2. A level of control over the licensee and their operations.
3. Collecting a fee or royalty from the franchisee.
Attorneys specializing in franchise law typically specialize in either representing franchisees or franchisors. I don't claim to be a franchise attorney but would gladly refer you to some I'm familiar with.

Franchising in 2011
The new year shows great promise for an uptick in franchising activities. Anecdotal evidence points to more independent businesses who have had decent financial results the last year or two, looking to leverage their success in the down economy by investing in expansion through a franchising model. Buyers continue to be fed up with corporate life and now feel more comfortable leveraging retirement savings and/or other investments to start their own business, but want to mitigate some of their risks by partnering with a franchise concept...preferring to be in business for themselves but not by themselves. Is this consistent with what you are experiencing?
