    • Get and verify as much information about the financial details of the business as possible.
    • Check with the franchisor about training and the level of support the franchisor will provide to you at the early stages.
    • What is your position at the conclusion of the franchise period?
    • Who will own the goodwill in the business?
    • Ensure you have an exit strategy should the franchise agreement not be renewed.
    • Check clauses regarding termination, renewal and transfer of the franchise and make sure you are willing to accept them.
    Conclusion

    Plan well and obtain good advice before entering a franchise. Take time to research the franchise carefully so that you can make an informed decision. If you choose not to seek advice, you will have to provide a signed statement to that effect.
