Having worked in the development of franchises of some of the most prominent companies in America, I must say the intent is commendable. The information is nonetheless inacurrate or outdated. For example, it cites that businesses that are independent fail about as often as franchised ones. NOTHING could be further from the truth! It has been proven statistics gathered beginning in the 60's that 7 out of 10 independents go out of business in the first five years whereas franchised operations have a succcess rate in the 90 percentile. The view or scope is limited. Virtually every industry in the world is franchised or it's sister, licensed. The The video cites a recurring payment to the franchisor of 5-10% when, in reality, the percentage can be all over the board and is often buried into the business activities in a way that is not reflected as a percentage of sales as this video intimates. Overall, pretty good and very informative in many ways.
