If you don’t know how to research a franchise, your chances of choosing the right franchise to buy are slim.
Why?
Because you won’t be able to get the answers you need to make a smart decision. And in this case, making the wrong decision on a franchise business can lead to financial ruin. Yours.
Of course you can try to learn how to do research as you go, hoping you’ll make the right decision.
But “hoping” isn’t a strategy.
Think about it.
You decided to go the franchise route because you wanted to take your shot. You wanted to have more freedom and control in your life. You wanted to kiss your corporate job goodbye, so you could be your own boss. It’s all good.
So you ended up choose a franchise to own that requires an initial investment of $250k.
You write your business plan. You apply for a small business loan.
Next, you sit down with your (franchise) attorney to go over the stack around 300+ pages) of franchise documents the franchisor sent to you.
Then you sign your 10-year franchise contract.
Again, a 10-year franchise contract.
Then you say to yourself, “I sure hope I picked the right franchise to own.”
I hope you did, too.
Otherwise, you’ll suffer serious financial consequences.
Gulp.
Hoping Isn’t A Strategy
If “hoping” you chose the right franchise to own ends up being your strategy, you’ll probably have better luck picking a franchise opportunity out if you simply typed a couple hundred different franchise names on a piece of paper, closed your eyes, and pointed to one.
Here’s a better idea. Grab my guide, so you can learn how to do top-shelf franchise research.
Because doing great research is the best* way to help you choose a franchise opportunity that’s right for you.

Doing Great Research Is The Key To The Franchise Kingdom
Research…due diligence done right is the key to success with a lot of things. But in the case of franchising…
Investigating and evaluating a franchise correctly enables you to choose the right franchise. And doing that could be the game-changer you need in your life. But if you do it wrong…
You’ll be climbing an uphill battle to just keep your franchise business afloat. And if you can’t keep your business up and running?
You’ll end up going out of business, losing a lot of money, and feeling embarrassed because your business didn’t make it.
You’ve Done Research Before
Do you remember the first home you bought?
I bet you checked out similar home prices in the area, along with reviews of the school system, city services, and more.
And that new car you purchased?
I’m confident you spent several hours (and probably several weeks) researching several different cars before you test-drove them and finally decided on the one that fit best.
The important thing here is you realized you needed to learn how to gather and then evaluate the crucial information required to make a smart, fact-based decision on the right home and the right car.
And now you’re an old-pro. You have experience researching two high-ticket items. But…

They end with business closures. Lawsuits from creditors. Even bankruptcy.
But the final nail on the their coffin?
They’ll need to go out and find a job. Again.
I don’t want that to happen to you.

Why Should You Learn How To Do Franchise Research And Franchise Analysis From Me?
I’m The Franchise King®, Joel Libava.
In addition to writing The Definite Guide To Franchise Research, I’m the author of “Become a Franchise Owner” (Wiley Publishing, 2011), and have been advising people on how to carefully choose, research and buy profitable franchises since 2001.
Moreover, as a result of the trust I’ve built over the years, I’ve been featured in numerous publications, and have written hundreds of informative articles on franchise risk, the franchise industry, franchise ownership, and franchise research for some of the most highly-trafficked websites in the world. Examples include The New York Times, CNBC, Entrepreneur®, Franchise Direct and Fortune® to name just a few. And up until the pandemic, I wrote a monthly franchise article for the U.S. Small Business Administration’s website (for 8 years.)
Last but not least, I’ve been a franchisee, a franchise consultant, and have managed franchise businesses. I know franchising. And I can teach you how to do franchise analysis for your “franchise research project,” so you can get the truth about any franchise you’re interested in purchasing. But don’t take my word for it.

“I am an existing business owner, and this franchise research guide is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The process that Joel asks you to follow is very critical before buying a franchise.

Doing Franchise Research Is Frustrating
Have you ever asked a franchise representative how much money you can expect to make as a franchisee?
If so, you know that’s where the fun begins.
“Well, because of franchise laws, I can’t really tell you how much money you can make.”
“That’s a tricky question. But if you look in our FDD…”
Really???
There’s something wrong with that. One would think a simple question about income would be an easy question to answer (since they know).
Can I be completely honest with you?
You’re asking the wrong person. Here comes the good part.
My guide shows you precisely who you need to ask about your income potential, how you need to ask, but most importantly, when to ask them.
