If you are considering franchising your business, or have an idea that you believe would make a successful franchise, this guide will explain the steps you need to take. Mistakes can be costly, both financially and morally. Buinesses, which were profitable, have been ruined by going into franchising without adequate preparation. Failure causes great personal distress not only to franchisees, but to the franchisors, who may have persuaded them to mortgage their homes and sacrifice their life-savings to join the franchise. Such disasters can be avoided by taking the right advice.

By John Pratt
John Pratt takes franchisors firmly by the hand to guide them through all the practicalities of launching and developing a franchise system that conforms to best practice. On aspects where opinions may differ, he offers his definitive solution because, as he rightly says, simply giving alternatives is "the least helpful to busy franchisors who need firm guidance on how to proceed." It is this straight forward and unambiguous advice that makes his book so valuable to aspiring and existing franchisors. One of Britain's most successful franchise lawyers with over 25 years experience in advising franchisors, Pratt has his own practice, Hamilton Pratt, and is legal adviser to the BFA.

By Martin Mendelsohn
If you're thinking of buying a franchise, this guide will tell you what you need to know in order to make the right choice. It will help you assess whether self-employment and franchising, in particular, will suit you personally and explains how to avoid the pitfalls. Franchising is not as simple as it may seem and calls for a considerable, long-term commitment. Although it has a self-regulatory body, the BFA membership is voluntary and there is no franchise legislation to protect you. You, therefore, need to take every care in choosing a franchise. This guide will help you make the right choice.

If you're considering franchising your business, or have an idea that could develop into a successful franchise, this guide will explain the steps to take. Profitable businesses that have gone into franchising without adequate preparation have subsequently failed. The moral cost is also high for the franchisor, who has persuaded people to re-mortgage their homes, sacrifice their life-savings and run-up heavy debts to join his franchise. Such disasters can be avoided with the guidelines in this book.
