Buying a franchise

What franchise ownership actually costs once fees, buildout, and working capital are added up, how much control an owner really keeps day to day, and what people wish they had checked before they signed.

• Do people regret buying a franchise? Yes, many do, but it's avoidable.
• What does owning a franchise cost beyond the franchise fee? Plan for 2 to 4 times the franchise fee.
• What do franchise owners wish they'd known before signing? You're buying a job, not a passive investment.
