Become a Franchise Owner

Plenty of people have tired of taking orders from the work-a-day world and would love a chance to be their own boss.  

With more and more professionals looking for alternatives to traditional corporate employment, Joel Libava, "The Franchise King” and the author of Become a Franchise Owner!: The Start-Up Guide to Lowering Risk, Making Money, and Owning What you Do can explain the joys and perils of the franchise model. Libava and his book offer straightforward, step-by-step tips and advice on how to properly (and carefully) research and select a franchise business.

Through real-world examples, Libava also details what not to do when buying a franchise—errors that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars if someone is finally forced to walk away from a failed business.

Libava and Become a Franchise Owner! offer the information and tools needed to take advantage of the franchise model, such as:

  • Take a self-evaluation quiz in order to determine if you're franchise material
  • Learn to assess your skill set and match your interests and aptitudes with an appropriate franchise
  • Get tips on how to locate information about current industry trends, interview franchisors/franchisees, and how to discover hot franchise opportunities
  • Learn the forty crucial questions to ask before buying a franchise
  • Learn how to deal with lousy advice from “well-meaning” friends, relatives, and MBA’s

Become a Franchise Owner focuses on helping would-be franchise owners get all the facts they’ll need to make an intelligent decision on the purchase of a franchise.
