This is a book on franchising that “will matter” to everyone involved in franchising and to those interested in franchising. A reader friendly book that uses layman’s terms and with a section on explanation of terminologies used in the franchising world.

Since franchising is a unique business relationship, the book objectively discusses areas of franchising that all parties in the relationship should consider. Discussion takes the macro perspective rather than the subjective perspective of the franchisor or the franchisee. Contents of the book are based on internationally accepted principles of franchising and the “Franchise Guru’s” 31 years experience in the field of franchising.

The book is an attempt to further the author’s goal of advocating responsible franchising. This is with the realization that understanding and pursuing the proper route of franchising is the only way to its sustainability and growth. With this book, the author hopes that more and more people will derive immeasurable benefits that franchising offers. These advantages are realities worldwide and they are there for the taking if only the proper route is taken.
