| the franchise handbook: The Franchising Handbook Iain Murray, 2006 Franchising is big business. Annually the UK franchising industry is worth over £9.5billion, employs 326,000 people and introduces around 3,000 new small businesses into the UK. Last year 95% of all franchisees reported profitability making it one of the safest ways to start up a business. Given these statistics, it is not surprising that franchising continues to expand, both in popularity and economic terms as individuals are able to enter the market with a proven brand and business formula to follow. The Franchising Handbook is a comprehensive and accessible guide for both franchisees and franchisors. It offers advice on the best way to choose a franchise, and is illustrated throughout with real-life case-studies plus an A-Z directory of franchises arranged by each major market. Key topics covered include: The Franchising Boom: success stories, size and scope of the UK franchising sector, how franchising works and the pros and cons How to Choose a Franchise: Self-assessment, preparing yourself, using an expert, the franchise contract, raising finance, what to expect next How to Franchise Your Business: Expanding your business, research, sources of franchise revenue, services provided by the franchisor, training and operating manuals Prospects for the future |

| the franchise handbook: The Franchising Handbook Carl Reader, 2016-07-14 Most small business books focus on what it takes to start a small business, and not what it takes to start a franchise. At best, these books might allocate a single chapter to the concept of franchising, and at worst the author presumes that franchises are the same as any other business start-up. The world of franchising has its own nuances, and advice that works for 99% of start-ups would not apply to franchising. In fact, well-meaning advice can often be detrimental to potential franchisees. This book is focused on making sure that potential franchisees are aware of the specific journey ahead of them. As franchising is a two-way business arrangement, it includes exactly what franchisors are looking for, what can or cannot be negotiated with a franchisor, and how best to present yourself to ensure that you win the franchise you want. |

| the franchise handbook: The Law and Regulation of Franchising in the EU Mark Abell, 2013 ÔMark AbellÕs book argues that the European franchising market fails to reach its potential as it remains unregulated. He supports this by analysing the historical legal and economic basics and risk/attraction profiles of franchising to franchisors and franchisee, compares the European situation to the highly developed regulatory regimes in the USA and Australia, and moves through to proposing and drafting a new EU directive to bring greater certainty and stability to cross border franchising in the EU. Comprehensively researched and very detailed, this book is a worthy contribution to the literature on the subject.Õ Ð Graham Cunningham, Barrister, Hardwicke Key features of this detailed and insightful work include: ¥ Practical analysis from a leading authority in the field of franchising. ¥ Examination of the impact of both franchise specific and general commercial law upon use of franchising in the EU. ¥ Comparative legal analysis of the law of England, Germany, France, the US and Australia. ¥ Carefully constructed proposals for a franchise directive in the EU based on the vast experience of the author. ¥ A draft text for the proposed directive. The Law and Regulation of Franchising in the EU provides an in-depth analysis of the regulatory environment for franchising in the EU. Franchising in the EU comprises nearly 10,000 franchised brands and over Û215 billion (US$300 billion) turnover per annum. However, compared to its scale in the US and Australia, franchising is not realising its full potential in the EU and the author points to the lack of homogeneity across members states as a large part of the problem. The book concludes by arguing for the adoption of a draft directive, and proposes a draft directive, which promotes market confidence in franchising, provides pre-contractual hygiene and imposes a mandatory taxonomy of rights and obligations. This highly topical and comprehensive work will appeal to franchise lawyers and franchise academics as this is the first book that analyses the impact of EU and member state law upon the use of franchising in the EU. |

| the franchise handbook: The Economics of Franchising Roger D. Blair, Francine Lafontaine, 2005-04-11 This book describes in much detail both how and why franchising works. It also analyses the economic tensions that contribute to conflict in the franchisor-frnachisee relationship. The treatment includes a great deal of empirical evidence on franchising, its importance in various segments of the economy, the terms of franchise contracts, and what we know about how all these have evolved over time, especially in the U.S. market. A good many myths are dispelled in the process. The economic analysis of the franchisor-franchisee relationship begins with the observation that for franchisors, franchising is a contractual alternative to vertical integration. Subsequently, the tensions that arise between a franchisor and its franchisees, who in fact are owners of independent businesses, are examined in turn. In particular the authors discuss issues related to product quality control, tying arrangements, pricing, location and territories, advertising, and termination and renewals. |

| the franchise handbook: Handbook for Mortals Lani Sarem, 2017-08-15 Zade Holder has always been a free-spirited young woman, from a long dynasty of tarot-card readers, fortunetellers, and practitioners of magick. Growing up in a small town and never quite fitting in, Zade is determined to forge her own path. She leaves her home in Tennessee to break free from her overprotective mother Dela, the local resident spellcaster and fortuneteller. Zade travels to Las Vegas and uses supernatural powers to become part of a premiere magic show led by the infamous magician Charles Spellman. Zade fits right in with his troupe of artists and misfits. After all, when everyone is slightly eccentric, appearing 'normal' is much less important. Behind the scenes of this multimillion-dollar production, Zade finds herself caught in a love triangle with Mac, the show's good-looking but rough-around-the-edges technical director and Jackson, the tall, dark, handsome and charming bandleader. Zade's secrets and the struggle to choose between Mac or Jackson creates reckless tension during the grand finale of the show. Using Chaos magick, which is known for being unpredictable, she tests her abilities as a spellcaster farther than she's ever tried and finds herself at death's door. Her fate is left in the hands of a mortal who does not believe in a world of real magick, a fortuneteller who knew one day Zade would put herself in danger and a dagger with mystical powers--Amazon.com |
