Summary: Better to look elsewhere
Comment: Waste of time, waste of money and waste of brain power. Better franchise books out there.
Customer Rating:
Summary: If you want to franchise your buisness, don't buy this book!
Comment: I purchased this book to help me in franchising my business. I found it hard to read, confusung, boring, and full of legal jargon that I could not understand.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best Book on Franchising Today
Comment: There are simply not enough books on franchising today. This book is a wealth of knowledge for anyone interested in franchising either as a prospective franchisee or involved in the industry as a franchisor. Most of the books on the market are geared towards franchisees - this book really serves as a great primer for the industry as a whole and a solid guide for franchisors. It is required reading in our company and I recomend it to candidates. Thanks to the authors for sharing their gems with the rest of us.

Summary: More boring than a statistics textbook
Comment: I graduated in Statistics, and so I know boring books. And, this book was more boring than any of my Statistics texts.
It is written in textbook format. It is also written by a bunch of different authors, so it's really disjointed. As an example, the chapter guest written by an attorney in boring legalese is probably the most interesting.
And, they misspelled McDonalds. In a book about FRANCHISES! I could understand if they misspelled Wal-Mart in a book about franchises, but how can you write a book about franchises and misspell McDonalds? See the misspelling on pages 86 and 196.
Also, it is written to franchisors, not franchisees. Since the marketing of the book makes it look like it's trying to appeal to everyone, it took me a few chapters to figure out that it's actually written to franchisors. Repeat: It is NOT good for franchisees.
I did complete the entire book. I'm not one of those reviewers who calls the book boring after reading a few pages and throwing it away. I am someone who plugged through so that I could warn everyone else.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent introduction to Franchising
Comment: Hands down the best book I've read about franchising. It covers the topic in an easy-to-read fashion and doesn't oversimplify. Reading this will yield useful information to franchise novices as well as more seasoned entrepreneurs.
A great book for someone who has a concept they feel might be franchise-worthy as it can help you understand what needs to be done to make you successful with franchisees.
Great for prospective franchisees who get an understanding of what they should look for in a franchisor.
The examples/case studies are very good and demonstrate points effectively.
The only area the book does not touch upon in any detail are master franchise and/or area development arrangements that franchisors/franchisees sometimes have. But I cannot knock the book for this as most franchise books don't touch upon this at all.
