Why you should never pay for a franchise

One of the most ridiculous things I often come across on the internet is "Oven Cleaning Franchises". A Google search reveals a grand total of 10,900 websites! The basic jist is this:
* established business format * easily replicable route to business success * the licensed rights to trade under some generic "Oven-Kleene" type brand * an exclusive territory * training and support * specialised equipment and enough cleaning supplies to get you started. * corporate uniform and stickers to put on your van * a spreadsheet to do accounts on * rule book and some headed paper * a big dog to make sure you don't step out of line
Now, all these materials will cost you anywhere between £5000 and £30000. What have you actually got for the money? All you really have is a nice uniform! Not to be cruel to the Oven Cleaning Fraternity but there is nothing above that you couldn't source for free on the internet if you looked hard enough. The Franchisers on the other hand have pocketed a nice windfall and now have another chump who is relying on them for supplies. Imagine if you had used your own initiative and set up on your own without the help of the franchise company - how would things be different? Well you'd be a few grand better off to start with!
In real life there isn't any need to ever go down the franchise route - cross it off your "I wonder..." list today. It is superfluous to your needs. It is something best left to the unimaginative.
