Tim is a certified SCORE Mentor and former franchisee. Like many, he came into franchising after a long corporate career. Not knowing the franchise landscape, he made mistakes in his franchise search. Subsequently, he did a deep dive to better understand the scope and scale of franchising, incentives in the market, the trade-offs between emerging and mature brands, regulations, Franchise Disclosure Documents, the nature of Franchise Agreements, how to conduct due diligence, and other factors critical to a successful franchise search. He has developed a framework to help prospective franchisees think about how to weigh the benefits, costs, and risks associated with owning a franchise business.

This workshop is presented by SCORE. Score provides mentoring and education to the business community free of charge.
