Customer Reviews

simply fantastic......

As prospective franchise purchasers, my wife and I highly recommend this book. It is well balanced, presenting the path from initial consideration, analyzing the data including the daunting UFOC, and a list of resources that are helpful. It is not biased towards the viewpoints of franchisers, which is one of the downfalls of the Dave Thomas book which is otherwise a good companion to this text. It is simultaneously a good and quick read, but is also full of information. I hope that anyone interested in the franchise route will read this and learn from it.

AMAZING!

I started off with no knowledge of the franchising industry..until this book. Tips and Traps takes you through the whole franchise process. After devouring this book ( I am already on my fourth reading!), I have become a franchisee in an expanding food franchise! I would like to find Mary E Tomazack and shake her hand...she changed my life!
