Considering a Franchise? Make sure to Interview Current Franchisees

If you are considering a franchise you should conduct appropriate due diligence. One of the most important things you should do is contact as many current franchisees as you possibly can. For some reason this is often overlooked.

I strongly suggest you keep talking with current franchisees until you find someone who is willing to describe some problems or issues with the franchisor. Trust me – you will learn a lot more about the franchisor in that conversation than all the glorifying remarks put together. Because a franchisee has a problem does that mean you should look elsewhere? Not necessarily. It just means you are now able to make your decision with open eyes.
