The Franchise King® | Learn How To Become A Franchisee

 

How do you make sure that your spouse doesn’t blow your idea of becoming a franchise owner?

First off, do you remember the “discussion” you had over the kitchen table?

This one

Now, the answer to the question posed above is simpler than you think. You can try real hard to complicate the answer if you’d like, but the amount of energy you’ll end up expending could light up 3 city blocks.

Now, before I share the answer, I need to get some possible sexist stuff out of the way.

What’s so bad about that?

Do you know how many men (that look for a franchise to buy) end up not buying one because they didn’t bother to get their spouses involved until the end? (The “end” being, check-writing and franchise loan application time.)
