Again, Yes. Owning a well-run franchise can often provide the 'best of both worlds' with the autonomy to run your business the way you wish to whilst having the backing and support of the franchisor. However, badly run franchise's becomes lots more problematic. Too much autocracy from the centre preventing the business owner from having the freedom to grow their business the way they wish to can cause deep-seated problems for both sides. I'm currently coaching 2 franchisee's, and through this, have been invited to speak at the Franchisor's national event to other franchisee's on the support I am providing.
