Only interested in a Band-aid solution to franchisor over-reaching?

Write your issue bitch on a post it and put it on the wall.

Choose the most severe one and sue your franchisor.

  • Won’t they just take the $ back via another way in a few months?

Thirty problems? Hell no: 1 problem with 30 manifestations.

The 1 Problem: Opportunism

  • the unfair exercise of franchisor discretion within the necessarily incomplete contract.
  •  self-interest with deceit.

To stop opportunism: create and maintain an indexed document database/wiki that is owned by a well-run and monitored franchisee association.

  • Indpendently, command the information high ground and you’ll buy your business back rather than rent a few $ in short-term litigation.

Otherwise, Dance band on the Titanic.
