How to Find the Right Franchise

Many first time business owners like having a franchiser behind them to supply training, support services and national name recognition. Franchising offers no guarantees of success, however, and this video offers specific advice on avoiding the pitfalls of what can be a very expensive mistake. Paul Kangas and the Nightly Business Report team present a very professional guide to researching and evaluating a franchiser's pitch, what to expect from a training program, and where to turn for financial assistance. Guests include Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's; William Rosenberg, founder of Dunkin' Donuts; and author Mike Powers, who wrote The 21st Century Entrepreneur: How to Open a Franchise Business. Fast-paced, slickly produced and modestly priced, this will be a solid addition for public library and academic business collections. Recommended. NBR also offers eight additional videos on subjects ranging from starting a business to retirement planning. Aud: H, C, P. (C. Dratch-Kovler)
