The choice is YOURS and yours alone! The franchise consultant will help guide you through a methodical process but the investigation of each franchise you consider is yours alone. Once you enter into a franchise agreement, the relationship is governed by the contract between you and the franchise company. We strongly suggest you consult legal and financial advisors before you enter into a franchise agreement. The franchise consultant will provide professional resources that you can choose to employ.
