Book Synopsis

The truth you need to know

before you buy a franchise

This straight-shooting franchise guide goes beyond

the “how-to” to teach you what

to expect when starting a franchise. Real-life stories

from the trenches illustrate to you how to cope

with the difficulties a franchise presents. Smart Franchising

reveals the personality types most likely to

succeed at franchising and warns you about

the character traits that may increase the risk of failure.

Plus, it offers an in-depth look at what happens

during the research and investigation of a franchise,

something glossed over in most franchise books.
