I am a professional franchise consultant and I value Bond's opinion greatly. He provides insight to franchise systems that the average franchise seeker would not consider, but would benefit from considering. This guide is a good beginning and can get you started in your search. Buying a franchise is a big decision and you should also seek professional and objective help. I offer a free franchise consultation. I can help you get a better understanding of all of your options and assist you in the overall validation process.

Wow, they all look good. Wow, I see problems in each. Wow, I don't know what I am doing here, I am a fish out of water in the franchising world. I found this book to be a good tool to have once you have found the businesses you want to investigate. The challenge is narrowing the list.

I didn't want to stand behind a counter making sandwiches(spent too long in corporate America for that), but beyond that I didn't know what else to narrow the list on. I found some help and between this book, others books and the advisor I found I was able to evalaute the market. Some investigation, and Google, led me to George Knauf and together we talked about companies, my goals and what is in the book.

Use all the tools available to you. I found the book to be a somewhat worthwhile investment and the advice to be worth a great deal, though somehow it din't cost me anything.
