Buying a franchise is a big decision, and asking the right questions can help you avoid costly mistakes. Here are 10 key questions to ask before signing any agreement:

1. What is the total investment? Beyond the franchise fee, are there other costs like real estate, inventory, or equipment?

2. What are the ongoing fees? Understand royalty fees, advertising costs, and other recurring expenses.

3. What training and support does the franchisor offer? Ensure the franchisor provides adequate training, operational support, and marketing assistance.

4. How long until I break even? Ask about the average time it takes franchisees to reach profitability.

5. Can I speak with existing franchisees? Current franchise owners can offer valuable insights into the business.

Understanding Franchise Fees: What Are You Really Paying For by Joe Fox, Sr. Franchise Consultant 📚READ BLOG POST HERE: https://tinyurl.com/y8tnsf77

"Franchise fees can seem intimidating, but understanding what they cover is essential to making an informed investment. Here's a breakdown:

Initial Franchise Fee: This upfront payment grants you the right to use the brand name, business model, and systems. The fee typically ranges from $30,000 to $60,000, depending on the franchise. (Some as low as $10,000 and some as high as $100,000)

Royalty Fees: Most franchises charge a percentage of your sales as royalties, typically between 4% and 8%. This fee helps cover ongoing support, marketing, and brand management.

Advertising Fees: Many franchises also require contributions to a national or regional advertising fund. This usually ranges from 1% to 3% of your sales, ensuring brand visibility.

Other Costs: You may also face training fees, technology fees, software fees, equipment purchases, and local marketing costs." READ MORE HERE: https://tinyurl.com/y8tnsf77

Franchise Ownership Is Rising Among Women — Here’s Why It Matters Via Entrepreneur: https://tinyurl.com/5e3nbput. "When you’re a customer at a franchise restaurant, coworking space or retail store, you’ll usually find at least one woman working with customers on the front line. Today, it’s increasingly likely that there’s also a woman at the top, either as the owner or in a powerful executive position.

We celebrate women working as owners and leaders in the franchise industry every October 14th on Women in Franchising National Appreciation Day, which I’m proud to say my company founded in 2021.

It’s a day to acknowledge women working in franchising and highlight the spike we’re seeing in those entering the industry. We’re seeing it across all our brands, even those that were previously predominantly male.

Women continue to show growing numbers when it comes to franchise ownership across the country. About 30% of U.S. franchise businesses are owned by women, compared to 20.5% in 2013-2014.

I think more women are turning to franchising because they view it as a smarter and more secure path to business ownership; it offers (or should offer) training, setup, support, vendors, brand awareness, mass purchasing power and other critical backup. They recognize that because of these invaluable assets, franchises have a greater chance of success."

Top 5 Mistakes New Franchise Owners Make Via FranchiseWire: https://tinyurl.com/yc46xv2z. "Starting a business is exhilarating and often challenging. Franchise ownership helps flatten the learning curve to some extent by offering advantages such as training and ongoing support, a proven business model and established brand recognition. But some mistakes new franchise owners make are part of their learning process, potentially contributing to growth. “Some mistakes are normal, and can be rectified with time, effort and guidance,” says Raul Rodriguez, Movita Juice Bar co-founder and CEO. “The goal is to avoid the big, dangerous mistakes that can hurt your business quickly and make it very hard to recover.”

Movita Juice Bar, founded in 2015 and franchising since 2023, now has 28 open locations with more than 11 in development. Based in Southern California and expanding throughout the state and into Texas and Florida, Movita offers all-natural juices, smoothies and functional teas, as well as bowls and healthy toasts. Everything is made fresh, and nothing is pasteurized or frozen. The juice bar’s innovative health-focused concept has caught on rapidly, mirroring the explosive growth in the global wellness economy, which was estimated by Precedence Research at $6.87 trillion in 2025 and projected to grow to $11 trillion by 2034.
