Have You Visited One Yet?

Hi there!
When you're looking at franchises, and you're starting to get serious about a specific concept, nothing beats spending “a day in the life” of a franchisee. Specifically, paying an in-person visit to a franchisee. Here’s how to setup a visit with a franchise owner.
First, you have to do is locate a franchisee who is relatively close to your area. By close, I mean within driving distance, if at all possible.
Next, you’ll need to get in touch with the franchisee you want to visit. Unless you’ve already talked the person.
(If you’ve done your research correctly, you’ve already talked to several franchisees. You may have even had a conversation or two with franchisees whose businesses are close to you.)
Then, you need to schedule the visit.
To learn how to do it right, and what to ask the franchisee when you're there, read the article I wrote for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
