DON'T GET RIPPED OFF!

?Some of the biggest brands in franchising are being accused of fraud, collusion, and unconscionable conduct against their franchisees? See Major franchise brands accused , Kristen Le Mesurier | October 19, 2007

The ?usual suspects? who are relied on to provide protection to franchisees are the following.

1. Franchisors: - Sounds a little like the fox guarding the hens!
2. Solicitors: "Litigation is too expensive and time consuming...? (see above article)
3. Franchisee consultants: Many stand to gain a benefit from promoting or suggesting particular franchises. This conflict of interest makes the advice tainted.
4. The Regulatory Authorities: That assumes that they have the man-power & ability to assist you. That appears not to be the case. (See the above article).

SO THEN WHO IS PROTECTING POTENTIAL FRANCHISEES?

The Franchisees Advocate Group (www.franchiseesadvocate.com), is a newly created Australian business with a unique set of skills for safeguarding potential franchisees ? BEFORE its too late.

Unique: In addition to setting up & operating numerous well-known Australian businesses & franchises (such as Nando's Chickenland, ATM Solutions; Digital Recall etc) The Franchisees Advocate Group?s experience includes drafting Disclosure Documents, Franchise Agreements, Operating Manuals etc.

This means that when they evaluate a franchise opportunity, they apply the combined knowledge and insight of all of the following: Franchisors AND Business Operators AND their Legal/Accounting training. This is a uniquely complete perspective of the franchise-business AND the franchise documentation (so that the prospective franchisee doesn?t land up with a great Franchise Agreement, but a lousy business).

The Franchisees Advocate Group is acutely aware of the necessity to keep franchisees costs low.

Hi. I was reseraching the ActionCoach business coaching franchise until a couple of days ago when I hit a web site called

bluemaumau.org/brad_sugars_come_down_0

The content got me asking myself a lot of questions about ActionCoach in particular but also franchising in general. How much info are franchisors supposed to provide to investors up front?
Thanks.
