I'm no stranger to buying franchises so I was fairly confident that I knew what questions to ask a franchisor. And since the cost of this book is so little, I thought why not give it a look? I'm glad I did because John Hayes included questions I would not have otherwise known to ask. He really gave me some great insights and several of the questions I used due to him saved me some money!I also appreciated that the author didn't restrict the questions to what to ask the franchisor, because the franchisor can be shifty in the way questions get answered. Hayes gave me some ideas about how to verify the answers by asking questions of franchisees as well as companies that supply services and products to franchisors. I also did not know that I could ask former franchisees questions, but Hayes pointed out how to go about it, and that was worthwhile, too.This is a quick, simple and insightful read that provides you with the knowledge you need to know if you're going to buy a franchise – or any business, really. I also see this book as a companion to the authors book about how to buy “hot” franchises.Good job, John Hayes!
