Overview

The Franchise Buyers Manual is for people considering purchasing a franchise. Individuals can use the manual to learn about franchising, its pros and cons and how to find and evaluate the best franchise that matches their profile.
“I wanted to develop a resource for individuals considering a franchise, that takes them through the entire franchise process, including if franchising is the right choice for them. This manual teaches individuals to follow a process that allows them to determine the best franchise for them.” Ed Teixeira, President of FranchiseKnowHow, LLC

Editorial Reviews

“People seeking a franchise will benefit from reading this manual.It includes down-to-earth information about franchising, and provides a variety of forms and references to help people plan and prepare for a franchise acquisition. I've often said that franchising is one of the best methods of getting into your own business, but it's not for everyone. With so many poorly written, as well as misleading franchise "manuals" on the Internet, it's especially good to know that this one exists.
