New Franchise Business Book News and Reviews

Joel Libava on Fox Business News

From the inside book flap;

“With more and more professionals looking for alternatives to traditional corporate employment, Become a Franchise Owner! explains the joys and perils of the franchise model. Joel Libava, “The Franchise King®,” offers straightforward, step-by-step tips and advice on how to properly (and carefully) research and select a franchise business. Through real-world examples, Libava also details what not to do when buying a franchise—errors that could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars when you’re finally forced to walk away from a failed business.”

I’ve also included my book’s cover image, and a couple of photos that you’re welcome to use. (With proper attribution, of course.) I’m available to speak to groups, colleges, and conferences; please use the contact form below.

Quotables;

"When I do seminars on franchise ownership, I always tell the attendees that one way to tell if an “opportunity” is a franchise or not, is to look at the start-up costs involved. Please allow me to be blunt, here; if the total up-front investment is $485, it’s not a franchise offering."

“If you’re searching for a franchise to own, keep your search a secret. That way, you won’t be influenced by well-meaning–but probably clueless, friends and family.”

“I really like helping potential franchise buyers not get screwed.”
