"A home run!"
Whether you are in the market to buy a franchise or simply want to learn more about it, don't walk; run to get this thorough, clear-eyed and highly readable guide. What comes across throughout is that the author not only knows her material; she knows, understands and truly cares about her audience. Before tackling the step-by-step process involved in purchasing a franchsie, the author poses the personal questions one should answer before proceeding. Among them, Do your values align with those of the business you are considering buying? How will owning a franchise affect your family? Is flexibility important? She outlines rewards and potential risks; the range of financing options; and perhaps most important, the need to have an adviser to walk you though each step of the process - and explains that this will involve no cost to you. Multiple first-hand examples offer great insights into the experience. This is an exceptional contribution to the field.

You can feel how passionate the author, Liz Leonard, is about entrepreneurship and how to be successful in your own business ownership endeavor. I can feel her support through this book!

"Franchise ownership vs start-up...the book that breaks it down in detail."
This book is a comprehansive and invaluable guide, full of actionable resources, for anyone who's at eh crossroads of starting a business. The author has live through multiple business lifecycles, both as a franchisee and as an independent business owner. She references her extensive experience in great detail, showing the reader the plusses and minuses of both journeys and sharing practical advice and real-life success stories-- her own as well as others. The book demystifies the complexity and legalese of the franchise process, emphasizing that you don't need to be a millionaire to start. The author's tools and assessments really helped me identify the best fit for my skills, interests, and goals. (Because who ants to end up in another "job" they hate after the honeymoon wears off??) By offering insider tips and author's unique "franchise fast pass" system, Liz Leonard equips aspiring entrepreneurs with the knowledge to navigate franchise ownership confidently. Lix is a no-fluff advisor of wisdom and common sense throughout the book, so I highly recommend this must-have biz book.
