Ethical issues:

A substantial budget must be planned. The fees of a serious franchising counsel are around 30000 € ex VAT minimum (franchise budget, financial feasibility, audit of the pilot stores and their ability to be repeatable, Franchise Agreement and Disclosure Document included). Below 30000 € ex VAT, be cautious! It is not just the photocopy price! You must also be cautious with the current dumping trend, one shouldn’t play with franchising. Be cautious if a consultant, for example, offers you to draft the franchise agreement and the Disclosure Document. Consultants are not lawyers (but they are hungry)!
Is the consultant a lawyer, to pretend to be a drafter of franchise agreements?

You are going to ask your prospective franchisees heavy investments, which often correspond to their economies of “a whole life”. And you would not be able to invest a sum of approximately € 30 000 - you, young franchisor !? - to set up your franchise system.

The intellectual honesty is a real value in all frankness and without compromise !
