FINAL THOUGHTS

1. Above all else, franchising is a relationship game. Whether it be connecting with your customers, your suppliers or your franchisor, communication is key.

2. Make sure you are open and honest with yourself and everyone involved in the business. Franchisees who are struggling are best advised to consult their franchisor for support.

3. Remember, your business is your responsibility, but that doesn’t mean you can’t ask for help. More often than not, a successful franchisee is someone who is willing to heed advice and work on the bigger picture.
