"What are The Top 5 Questions to Ask a Franchisor"

1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?

You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.

2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?

The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.

3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?

You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.

4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?

Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.

5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?

High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
