Learn about how franchise businesses work and how to investigate them.

• What we'll do
We will discuss the best, proven methods to use when investigating franchise opportunities. We'll discuss the four key steps to owning a franchise along with the four business quadrants that the thousands of franchises fit into. We'll also discuss some of the legal and financial aspects of becoming a franchise owner. We'll close with a presentation from our host, Shapes Fitness. Then, we'll strap on the VR headsets and do virtual tours of three other franchise companies so you can peek behind the curtain and see things from cash register side of these businesses. You'll leave with a VR headset and a copy of the book, The Franchise MBA along with a bunch of information for you to enjoy as the future unfolds.
