Your Comprehensive Guide to Franchise Success (Identify, Research, Decide)

Your Comprehensive Guide to Franchise Success was created to solve the problem of misaligned interests in franchise sales, as well as a lack of tools to promote good decision making in franchise purchasing. 

Jimmy St. Louis’ goal is to help fledgling business owners and entrepreneurs determine the right franchise and prepare them for success as a franchise owner and operator. His approach requires three definitive steps: 

• Identify: Is franchising right for you? Assess your business skills, identify your preferences, and determine your non-negotiables as you compare different industries and identify which ones appeal to you.
• Research: What brands and franchise models align with your skill set? Use our workbook to compare brands, evaluate franchise models, review FDDs, and engage directly with franchisors and franchisees. 
• Decide: Are you ready to take the plunge? Sign your franchise agreement and start forming concrete plans with your franchisor’s guidance and support.
